Why do you talk so much shite? Harry Kane wouldn't fit in Ange's system first then talking a load of shite about top goalscorers.

Only Janssen was top goalscorer in his league before we signed him and that amongst one of the worst Eredivisie strikers pools ever in arguably the worst top flight league in Europe.

Who says they want to come to us?
If you were Newcastle, would you sell to a rival club?

Isaak’s next move will likely be a CL contender. If you were advising him with his best interest would you tell him to go to spurs?

I’d tell him to give Newcastle another year and then get a move to a PSG, Liverpool or Real Madrid.

Who says they won’t? Who says Newcastle arent borderline PSR and may have to accept 125M?

Why anyone who's been a fan long enough would have any faith is beyond me.

The same happy clapping was being trotted out at the beginning of this window, we were told it was the Copa & the Euros that were to blame and now we're being told that Solanke was the truth all along which begs the question why there's only talk about it now with a week or so left before the season starts etc but your blind faith obviously gives you the strength to call fans who've seen it all before Woolwich fans.

Not at all.

There are people whose posts show a genuine interest in the club and how we play.

Then there are people like Doom Funk who only make chippy, sarcastic posts for laughs and show no interest in how we can become better and what happens on the pitch.

There is a world of difference between a Deuterz Deuterz and a Doom Funk Doom Funk
 
I've been out of touch most of the summer so I've not been keeping up...has there been any signing of significance so far? Still away in NY..ugghh...not enjoying the olympics unfortunately....have to watch with the sound off and the remote in my hand...
So where are we transfer wise?

The delusion of some of these fans is incredible.

If your issue is the posting style then fair enough that's a personal choice.

Noises coming out of club are that we are not looking to have subpar players anymore - it’s better to sign no one than someone who isn’t right for the project… otherwise you are left trying to sell mediocre players two years later with no PL buyers and everyone on the continent broke.

Let’s bring in the right players even if they take a bit longer to bring in.

I'm cool with that thinking in theory as we've recruited some absolute dross during ENIC's reign. But we do also need numbers imo. I've been watching last season's games back this past couple of months and it struck me just how thin our quality options were. We actually played better than I'd remembered but we lacked depth when players were out injured.

We have to replenish and improve what we have/had. Two or three good quality signings won't be enough. Injuries will happen and we'll be back to square one.

Having watched our superb youngsters recently, I have some hope for the future so am not totally doom and gloom, but we need to fatten up asap. Some of our rivals are having a stinker of a TW and it would help to see this as a window of opportunity rather than indulge in hand-wringing caution. Before we know it, they'll get back on their horses and we'll be no further forward in our challenge.
