Fuck em it's Burnley.

 

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

difference is that Santa Cruz was actually a very decent striker till he came to us and got injured.
This wood player is bang average and 30 years old…

so far they have signed…
Trippier age 31 for 12 mill (plus add one)
And wood age 30 for 25 mill

they have blown 37 million on two players with a combined age of 61.
Hardly building for the future at the minute

Rocky came to us already injured.

He’s shit!! No way is he scoring the goals to keep them up

Fairly decent goal return for Burnley, but I think it is more likely they are signing him for his hold up play and knock-downs.

Kieran Trippier and Chris Wood... So they are trying to be the new Burnley?

This is their version of Mark Hughes being in charge of us, when we first got the dosh.

 

[Asa's left peg]

I understand that Wood will have done it to earn more dosh but, having to feed on scraps season in season out, knowing that you won't get many chances and wondering if you are better than that, and the potential opportunity to prove it, had an influence.
It won't be the last time Toons arab owners piss off american ones, either.

I seriously hope Newcastle get relegated now, what they’ve done here is lower than a snakes belly imo

Have some self awareness. This sounds like the sort of thing you’d read on RAWK about us.

Probably fairly sensible moves by Newcastle. The target isn't stellar signings, it's safety. These won't break the bank and have some use if they do go down, but as others point out will never get them into Europe.

For woods it's whether he want to trade a better chance of premier league safety (Burnley have 2 games in hand level on points with Newcastle) for a bigger wage and bigger supporter base.

I'm sure he will, given that if they do stay up then next season top half has to be the target and if any English player is scoring in a top ten premier league team then Southgate will take a look.

It’s all about opinions mate, if we all agree on everything how boring would the forum be, don’t need self awareness, I think it’s a cunts trick what NUFC have done regardless of release clause.
