@markTHFC82 Vuskovic will be class but it’s all about the right profile to fit the style of play. He’s a proper old-school type dominant centre half who is also a massive goal threat - but he’s not a progressive style defender that’s suited to a possession approach.
@DarrenReay007 If I was a Newcastle fan I’d probably feel exactly the same. What I would say though is that he was a massive signing for you at the start of what looked like an amazing project and Toon era - I doubt we’d have been able to get him if the project hadn’t faltered so much
@ScoutTottenham Backup keeper needed to be someone as good as possible but happy to bench warm and not suck up budget or wages - I think he’s a great addition with these metrics. Who would you have rather we had? He’s also more consistent than Vicario who was our first choice!
@WellOnside MGW or Wharton for me. We need a little more English core for identity and these 2 both fit the technical profile for RDZ as well as being highly proficient both in and out of possession
@danny_rose_p The key difference for me is that RDZ wants to win now with a positive style rather than completely points driven and soulless football. I’ve not felt this optimistic since peak Poch
@BotFinderUK I think a GE would be chaos right now. The current party have massively underwhelmed but there’s no credible alternative right now as none of them have presented a better alternative - just sound bites on single issues.
@bphillipsonMP Not sure what your supposed start calculation is for the 9.5% teacher pay increase - what is the compound inflation figure for this same period?
