@Nufc__Tom@ToonPolls Wissa isn’t 30, & was second highest scorer of open play goals last season. I don’t think he’ll reach that level again but don’t underestimate the effect of missing the entirety of preseason
@toonarmy_com All of those regular players from last year (like Burn) will stay this season. Maxi may go if a decent bid comes in as he was on the periphery - but other than that the objective is build depth before upgrading.
@Transfers Personal terms will be the main sticking point. This is a player on £150k a week at the minute who knows more than one team are in for him. He’ll expect an increase on his wages & that will smash our structure
@NUFCgallowgate I think that team looks weaker defensively than our team last season, & our attacking output I don’t think is much better.
I really don’t think we need to go in for two big money attacking signings either
@ToonMouthTyne Bruce is just one of many who have found the game moves on while they stood still. A reasonable manager in 2005, he was out of his depth & behind the times when he came to us.
I don’t hold a grudge though, it would be like berating a 5 year old for not being able to drive
@davebambrough @ToonMouthTyne Don’t believe that myth. Pope Trips Botman Burn Bruno & Isak were all Howe signings. That’s 6 of the starting XI.
We had 5 starters from Bruce’s time & 4 of his players were subs who came on - but we had already scored 5 & sent the spurs fans home before any of them came on.
@Raymond52683141@NUFC@CallumWilson He’s fit too which helps. 30+ appearances this season plus a World Cup in the middle is incredible for someone who is supposed to be a liability.
@JOYJUTSU3 @streetfighthard The girl who got hit had her hands in her pockets, hadn’t raised her voice, & wasn’t right up in her face at all. It was a cheap shot & karma will catch up with her at some point.
