Re: Football Season 2016/2017
If they don't go up next season then l will be shocked with the calibre of manager and the players they are signing

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
If I didn't know Newcastle had plenty of cash behind them I'd be worried now. At near £30 million and Benitez bent on persuading Townsend to snub any release clause, its already likely Newcastle as a championship club will outspend quite a few Premier League clubs. Without massive cash backing, failure to be promoted would be catastrophic. At the same time spending this money and failing promotion would be embarrasing to say the least.
I say this and obviously I can rest easily but the point was to reflect on the situation Aston Villa find themselves in. If they take a gamble and match spending but fail to be promoted then the club could be in financial ruin. Newcastle went down with the same £300million transfer pledge at £50-60m per window and then received a parachute payment. Not to mention massive recoups of money from certain players should they opt out. Villa went down with just the Parachute payment and absolutely no backing from the owner whom has truly ruined their club. Can give Mike Ashley all the stick in the world but he wouldn't let Newcastle die the way Lerner has pulled the rug from under Villa. Can't believe he couldn't provide the financial backing to keep Villa competitive whilst searching for a buyer.
I'm putting Lerner is the same boat as those nutters at Blackpool.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
Andros Townsend set for Medical at Palace. Good signs of balance at Newcastle. Beyond tired of the inflated midfield. More outgoings and incomings. Need to thin this midfield. Would rather had someone else go but £13 million is not to be coughed at.
Newcastle could end up with a net spend of zero if the remaining two big money players go. Georginio Wijnaldum quoted at £25 million. Moussa Sissoko quoted at £17-£20 million. I wouldn't be paying that after some of their showings last season.
No idea who's next for Newcastle but defenders are a must.

Rebuilding process in full flow. Matz Sels signed yesterday.
Newcastle are looking to offload Sissoko (£17 million) Possibly Tim Krul,

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
Fabricio Coloccini finally leaves Newcastle. Confirmed : God exists.
A great and loyal servant but a spearhead to Newcastle's problems over the past two years. The inability to replace a fading player.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
Jesus Gamez, Atletico Madrid fullback in talks with Newcastle and expected to fly in for a medical in the next 24 hours.
Naturally this will add Janmaat to the exit door along with Krul. Both were expected anyhow. Still hoping to see some selling rather than constant spending to weed out crap at the club.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
It looks like Rafa is building a brand new defence.

Doubt there will be to many shedding any tears over him going, over rated and old, just the type of player China thrives on
