This is the point that people seem to be missing

I read that Newcastle have recruited better than us but half those players wouldn't be where they are now had they signed for us, our culture and our coaching plan is non existent and we've chopped and changed strategies so often.

Paratici actually wanted Gordon so we were on the right track, but would had he been the player he is now if he played for us?, doubt it...
Did they though? Newcastle are fucking shit too.
 
Wore Jacky, Alan Shearer, Bobby Robson, Jimmy Fivebellies, Deuterz Deuterz

Your Wankhorn league took one hell of a beating.

Our 2nd placed team was busy beating Barcelona 3-0 mate.

Yours was sneaking past 14th in the prem

Ole ole top of the coefficients
 
The kids we have in Grey, Bergvall, Vuskovic, Moore etc are the least of our concern. It's the senior players letting us down at the moment and you need that stability to bring those prospects through.

Correct.

Our senior players offer zero or very little in terms of a high standard to emulate.

Frank needs to start to make some big decisions and quickly or he won't have that opportunity for as long as he might feel he deserves.
 
Barnes, Gordon, Tonali, Livramento, Bruno, Livramento - all better players than they were when they came in are they not?

Newcastle have been on a steady incline since 2022 but they've been pretty poor this season.
Tonali is not better than he was in Italy. Only had bad "luck" with his betting while at Newcastle. Others meh. They are not levels above us (if everybody fit) and have one league cup. Could be losing on Saturday too, wouldn't surprise me.
 
Man City have soo many bad players; Savinho and Cheddar Bobb are diabolical nevermind the likes of Ait-Nuri/Katshituv/Ganoush

Not sure about any of that but I do know that City must be poor judges to reject any bid of more than 40 million for Savinho, let alone the alleged amount we bid.

The fact that we actually bid so much for Savinho is further proof of how poor our judgement is on players.

Savinho would add next to no value to this squad and just as pertinently would have nobody experienced to use as a template of excellence.

Okay forget Tonali, Hall is though.

The argument isn't whether they're better than us - you missed the point...the argument is that they're all better players than where they were before.

They were trying to go BIG they were banking on that idiot Levy coming back with a huge bid out of desperation but he left it too late so they decide to keep him instead and probably look to bin him off in the summer.

Gordon this season is worse than when he joined, over a prolonged period. Looks ok for England.


Sold generational talents Minteh and Anderson to keep this bum.
That’s where I’m at with it now, done nothing since that purple patch.
Hell Murphys a way most productive player.

Etc.
