Today 6 of the players that started were here before the takeover. A little stat stolen from elsewhere so can't take credit.
Our defence cost 5m less than Harry Maguire
Midfield cost 6m less than Cassemeiro
The front 3 cost 5m less than Anthony.
This is down to spending wisely, originally just to catch up after years of neglect, but it's went better than expected due to the coaching team and Lord Edward Howe. Love it.
Aye, I saw that too.
Doesn't fit the blood money narrative so it's largely ignored by the 'journalists' who write their anti-Newcastle shite.
They're great stats too, though-just shows the potential for even further improvement after another couple of windows. And Eddie Howe is absolutely the man to take us where we want to go.
Nor people like Klippity spouting sh*te about how we (yes, Newcastle) have inflated the price of players in the market by our, er, heavy spending.Quote:

It's clear that they are looking for any excuse or reason why we are beating their beloved fraud 6.Quote:

Eddie Howe has worked magic with players like Miggy, Murphy, J7 etc and made us a brilliant battling team who fight for each other, covering every blade of grass never giving an inch.
Everyone is scared of us now. Had we not been screwed by VAR and the Ref hadn't played until the Red Bin Dips scored we'd be top of the table. Let that sink in! We'd be equal on points with Arsenal with a team featuring Sean Longstaff and a squad boasting Fraser and Dummett.
Nothing to do with money, all about the manager! Eddie Howe has been an inspired signing. He's the perfect man for the job, even better than Emery, humble, determined, polite, dignified, low key excellent human being. Everything that the hard working bonny lads and lasses of Tyneside respect and admire. A polite, quiet, modest winner!
Don't those a$$holes on fleet street and their disgusting bias against us hate it.
I would take Eddie Howe over every coach in the Premier League.
I know that's a bold statement and I'm certainly not putting him on a par with Guardiola, for example...but he's absolutely the right man for us. He's the right fit and not just for this phase...I honestly think he could grow with us and become the manager for us. I think he's that good.

All the pundits want to make the story that we are money bags and buying success. Tell me 1 team in Prem history that hasn't bought their success? Man U bought every title the ever won by outspending every other team. Remember Veron £48,433,825.78 +million in today's money was a total flop. I don't remember the press being outraged that the filthy swamp rats were ruining the game by distorting the transfer market with these outrageous prices!!!
We're simply operating in the market created by the fraud 6.
We're not even in their league of over spending, we're buying quality yes, but not over spending..
Oh and remember that Joelinton was purchased by our previous owner, not the current board. So we have literally only paid £35m for two of the current squad in Botman, Bruno & £60m for Isak.
Isak hasn't even featured yet. 2 or 3 appearances, bagged a couple of goals which is great.
Targett - less that £15m
Pope - Less than £15m
Tripz - Less than £15m
Burn - Less than £15m
Wood - £25m
We've also doing the right thing with our youth recruitment in signing Kuol the Aussie and that Amadou Diallo lad.
It is literally a success story that every single journo should be pointing to as the example for sustainable sensible growth. The board, Ashworth and Howe have done everything right. Eddie Howe is the best manager in the country, English or foreign. Pep himself couldn't do what Eddie has down with this squad. Pep has only managed teams packed with world class international players!
I remember them blowing smoke out the a$$ of Leicester, gushing over them like peados in mother care, yet it transpires that their business model was unsustainable. However I don't see the fervour in the press about Leicester have issues.
What about Everton? over £450milion Jizzed on players, playing Fat Sam style football and currently bang average in mid-table. Literally bending the rules of FFP using Covid exemptions to justify disproportionate losses compared to even the Fraud 6. Yet not 1 word about that in the press is there? Oh nooooo, why would they do that to Poor little Everton, the long serving Prem team who's had a financier/owners were in bed with Putin before he walked away (no doubt his money is still paying for the new stadium via some dodgy back door routes) & the other is an Iranian crook who's money is a long long LONG way from clean.
Man City - Nuff said literally the royal cousin of the PSG Qatari owners and our Saudi owners
Liverpool - Alison £80m / VVD £70m / Nunez £85m - Shut the F**K up bin dips
Man U - covered by Geordie above
Chelsea - Hahahaha do I need to bother?
Spurs - Richarlison £52 million / Yves Bissouma £26 million / Djed Spence £13 million / Christian Romero £45 million
It's all just B0llocks lads. F**k the media. We're gonna enjoy rubbing it in their faces when we start to win cups and titles. I'm gonna be happy to ram it down their throats on twitter when they start to kiss our a$$ and start speaking about us is the honey tones as they do Man City.
All the best Geordie Nation, tell London t'gan'fcuk them selz
Yes. Wise spending, good management, timing. Most of these lads were here pre takeover and annoys the fk out me when cnts accuse us of buying success.Quote:
