SSN Transfer Centre

So this is the state of play on sky sports transfer centre:

Newcastle

In
Joe Willock - Arsenal, £25m

Out
Florian Lejeune - Alaves, undisclosed
Andy Carroll - contract expired
Henri Saivet - contract expired
Christian Atsu - contract expired
Lewis Cass - Newcastle to Port Vale, loan
Ludwig Francillette - Crawley, free
Jake Turner - Colchester, loan
Kell Watts - Wigan, loan
Matty Longstaff - Aberdeen, loan
Yoshinori Muto - contract terminated

Some hefty wage off the bill, I'd think at least £150K a week.

Yet, still we can't compete with anybody, nor offer wages that players might be willing to accept apperently.

**** sakes.

And Willock was with us last season so we haven't even stood still but gone backwards!

I'll be amazed if we stay up this season

Add to that the £120 million for finishing 12th and the money saved for furloughing the staff....and is the tv money on top of the 12th place money or are the one and the same?

Oh, and the fact that our owner is a billionaire.

We are being taken for mugs and Bruce is happy to be part of the pisstake...the owner has gone above and beyond what he thought was possible and should be thanked??????

ffs

My prediction was 18th but it’s now 19th with only Norwich below us.
Ashley will hope to bolster the crowds due to the excitement of a relegation battle. People need to wake up.

We’ve been saying this for a long time now man, but nothing changes, people need to STOP going!

I cant believe why Bruce is getting so much vitriolic abuse for the inactivity during this transfer window.Try as he might,Messi preferred PGG & we would have had Ronaldo but for his refusal to accept a deal on a £100 pay per play deal.We were also in for a Macclesfield centre back but his preference was to drop down to the Isthmian league, All in all some really good attempts by the powers that be.

;) ;)

Obviously, Bruce can't be blamed for not bringing anyone in (unless he's told Penfold we don't need anyone so they haven't tried) but he can definitely be blamed for not keeping Lejeune.

Mind, on that point about Bruce's views on the squad as it stands. he was in the press recently saying we had enough up front so I'm guessing that's what he's told his superiors.

How many other clubs have said they can't buy anyone because of their squad size? Every team has the 25 man squad and brings in players.

More excuses and bullsh1t reasons for not investing in the team basically.
