Seems to some success is all based on how much you spent. 3 of those players have been sold for more than most clubs would pay for them. They’ve been ripped off.

Saint_Tony Posted 23 April, 2022 Share Posted 23 April, 2022 yeah Bruno Guimares and Trippier (who's largely been injured)aside, even we would be unhappy with any of the other signings. Like it or not, Howe's doing a good job, even getting a tune out of Joelinton. They have overpaid for sure, but it's not comparable with Pep and City operating in the market of replacing £50 million players with £50 million plauers.

How many of Pep’s player were known to you before they signed?

Of those Newcastle signings, Targett, Wood, and Burn wouldn't get near a top 4 side. They were the best Newcastle could get in those positions and all credit must go to Howe for getting results with them and the rest of his squad. Don't get me wrong, Bruno is some player, but don't be trying to convince anyone that Howe has been gifted elite signings because he hasn't. The Howe Newcastle topic is as boring as the Broja one.

S-Clarke Posted 23 April, 2022 Share Posted 23 April, 2022 Spurs have too many backwards-sideways midfielders, they need some CM's who will burst the lines and support the attack.

Micky Posted 23 April, 2022 Share Posted 23 April, 2022 5 hours ago, Saint_Tony said: it has worked out very well for them. Of course the likes of Eddie Howe, Chris Wood and Matt Targett wont be of any use to them in 2 seasons time but they are doing a job for now. Not sure that any of their squad will be with them in two seasons. Nearly 100 million spent just in the window, money is basically on tap, and like all big clubs FFP will be skilfully circumnavigated. They are a club on a different stratosphere to us now. Quite how the Premiere League can block Abramovitch and force him to sell, whilst allowing Newcastle to be funded as it is, is quite beyond me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it actually suited the government, as well as the Premiere League, to not scrutinized Abramovitch too closely, given the amount of other Russian money invested in and around the capital. Not that it takes much investigating as a recent documentary showed, very dodgy wealth with some very unsavoury contacts. And now there's Newcastle. Does anybody really believes that their money is being solely provided by a private funding initiative? Money talks, doesn't matter how filthy, dirty, smelly it is, somebody will take it.
