the next few weeks

[NorthernRock]

Losing carr didn't effect this window, how could it when Benitez gets who he wants?

With inside knowledge I would have thought that youd have known the ONLY keeper he wanted was Reina for a lot of reasons, the rags just ran with it that he was after another keeper so linked us with **** loads, did you ever hear this from the horses mouth/

He couldn't ship enough out because clubs/charnley held up sales.
He didn't have enough lined up because of the above, I said this weeks ago.

Replying to Zip, I agree but if you think that we did add Joselu and he only plays one up front, I'm not saying it's ideal but I'm sure not many clubs wanted to sell their best finisher, Perez apparently rejected us too.

The left back situation is piss poor BUT Manquillo, Mbemba and Clarke can play there, it's not ideal but it's not a disaster, when Yedlin comes back Manquillo can switch and try and make the position his own to keep Dummet out, left back funnily has constantly been a weak area but we do have Haidara also, who I actually used to rate then never saw the **** play again, maybe it's a blessing for him to prove his worth mate?

I know there's a few bits in there trying to rub jam on ****, but lets face it, the windows shut, I want/believe we'll have a good so wtf can we change except whats in front of us?

OUR players need more credit tbh, these lads got us up because they wanted to be here, now lets give them the chance to push on and evolve into a good prem team.

We've only been back a few weeks lads, lets keep the buzz and kick on with Rafa man, **** players who we haven't got man.

well clearly he doesnt get who he wants

he was in for 3 keepers over the window

the players held up sales as they were mislead by rafa ( you have no future here .ps your on the bench or strting the bnext game )

the left backsituation was there in the last window and the one before that

Aye that´s right. Rafa has gone from being world class to not even being able to communicate to his players since he arrived at Newcastle. Jesus.

There was a time on here when you could be suspended for making misleading/wild claims without a source - not calling for one for you - just saying. (I think it was made to stop mackem trolling)

Aye, again good points, man.

Joselu surprised me the way he played the lone striker role. I'm aware of his poor goal-scoring record in the last couple of years (ok, piss poor) and although I hadn't noticed at the time, I take on board Mick's comments about his first touch but he did, I thought, very well indeed in all aspects of his role.

Like Merino and Lejeune one good game (and in Lejeune's case, 30 minutes) doesn't necessarily mean more than one bad game...but I was definitely encouraged by what I saw.
