@thomashammond__ Decent. Not great. But deffo not bad. Some very good periods. Some woeful periods. A player fully reliant on stats. Runs a bit. But in my ‘starting to get on a bit’ mind, not a great ‘footballer’. Not a patch on Ben Arfa, Robert, Solano, Ginola, etc.
@NUFCgallowgate@reluctantnicko The 25% stake will most likely come from a KSA source, basically a way of injecting some cash into the club smartly I would guess
@thomashammond__ He doesn’t. We were away at Arsenal, league leaders, who have scored the most goals from set pieces in the league, so he preferred a 6’7” center half to deal with the threat. No biggie. Hall should be back in today, if not, then you may have a point.
@SkySportsNews Bit of responsibility, I think when your earning 5 or 6 figures on a weekly basis I think that’s the absolute minimum requirement, todays players, not all, but many, take what they have for granted.
@NewcastleFansTV I think Tonali is worth another season, with better players around him I think you’d see a better player. The other can go for me, nothing against Tino, he’s just made of glass. Gordon, cash in 100%.
@NUFC I don’t think we played well at all. Striker left all alone, wingers contributing nothing. Midfield never looking like chipping in with a goal. Defensive errors. Same all season really. We’ll set up exactly the same next game with one or two personnel changes & lose again.
@BROWEA Howe did rate him & didn’t want to sell, he wasn’t getting in the team ahead of Tonali, Bruno, Joelinton. If he didn’t leave & get the game time he has, he may not of developed like he has. We had to sell someone & you can only sell what someone wants to buy. Same with Minteh!
@ToonFan14 I like Sandro, I really do, but 100m range & id sell. That then allows Miley to start. I’d then go to Forest & offer 50m + Elanga (or Wissa) for Anderson. Gives a midfielder 3 of Bruno, Miley, Anderson, with Big Joe & Ramsey keeping them on their feet. 50m left to invest.
@stv_ncl Agreed, far too many missed games due to injury, just a matter of time before one is a serious one. For 70m surely you get 2 x young fullbacks from Europe. I like Tino, he’s very good when fit & confident. But business is business.
@ConnorRC10 Wouldn’t be arsed if you added Barnes, Elanga, Osula, Ramsey, to the sell pile either.
Agree fully, but highly unlikely, we need 4/5 first team players added to the current squad, never mind before losing players.
@DanLang12 I think the club have a shortlist, I’d be amazed if some sort of discussions to gauge interest hadn’t happened already. I think that’s why we didn’t spend in Jan as the club were not 100% sure Howe will remain beyond this season.
