Newcastle United Thread - 2021/22

Pity the poor fucking Sunderland fans

Warren Barton on the radio discussing, apparently in all seriousness, the prospect of newcastle going for Haaland

Touch of the vapours there me thinks.

Are they going to trust Steve Bruce with the new transfer kitty?

He could be packing his trunk shortly and moving on to mediocrity somewhere else.

And lets see how the media react when it happens, remember when Hughes went for Machini

Jordan this morning scoffing that Sheikh Mansour is only worth £23bill, compared to the Saudis £320bill.

But straight before that he said City are a state owned,club, and Sheikh Mansour is the Abu Dhabi Prime Minister, and is part of the Royal Family.

The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) is a sovereign wealth fund owned by the Emirate of Abu Dhabi (in the United Arab Emirates) founded for the purpose of investing funds on behalf of the Government of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. It manages the Emirate's excess oil reserves, estimated to be $649 billion

When City and Chelsea were first taken over, they picked the best proven players from the other prem clubs. Kolo, adebeyor, bellamy, tevez, lescott, bridge, parker, duff, SWP.

This will be the way Newcastle will approach at first. Zaha, Traore, Keane, Lingard, Barkley. It'll be a few years before they're challenging for the big names. They may make a Robinho esque signing to make a statement but there won't be many.

Jees!! We are still by far and away the richest club!
Castle won’t get anywhere near us for 10 years plus

Have the premier league run this by Liverpool and spurs as they were the two that blocked the takeover earlier in the year ..

 

[domalino]

Not looking good for Bruce. He’s been summoned for a meeting with the new owners.

This seems like the kind of thing you'd see on RAWK.

I noticed the same thing earlier, on the graphic they quoted Sheikh Mansour's personal wealth. So suddenly we are not state owned anymore

Wish this was happening to Sunderland rather than the total myth that is Newcastle United

I wouldn’t know.

Liverpool would be the likely casualties of Newcastle becoming a top 4 club.

Klopp won't be around for that much longer and FSG have shown they're not interested in investing their own money at all.

Give them 3 or 4 years for Klopp to leave and his squad to fall apart, while Newcastle gear up to a top 4 challenge.

 

[discopop]

Unleash the piss boilers of the world, it’s done.

 

[domalino]

I wouldn’t know.

Oh well if you've never visited "HAhahahahaha Steve Bruce on a camel cos their owners are Arabs" is the kind of thing they'd love.

 

[feelymcfeel]

It's done.

Liverpool are on the decline. As each year there ‘star’ players get older the end nudges nearer , because as u say… there wont be a great deal more investment

think southampton have ran out of players to sell em

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

It's done.

Proof please. I need for my geordie supporting mate, at work.

 

[chesterbells]

Amnesty not doing themselves any favours with these utterances, which I see the bbc football website are leading with.

The Red is strong in this one.

 

[hihosilva]

Great News for Newcastle but if they're thinking of overnight success on the pitch it aint going to happen.
