Signings and Dyer

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

Two points - given Freddies protestations in the media about buying big - is 9 million buying big these days. No small change. So is that it for our summer shopping? No more additions expected? If so Freddie should be taken to court for misrepresenting facts to fans who purchase tickets on the promises of the chairman.

Secondly - given Dyers mutterings on SKY TV about the need to make 4 big signings otherwise he's off must mean he will request a move long before his season starts in September.

Its all astonishing.

6.5 mil for Bellamy after a disastrous season for a side relegated

Murray - a Freebie from a relegated Div 1 side - who hardly played because he was crocked

Elliot - described by the BBC as 'moving back as he found himself well down the pecking order at Bolton'

Why am I not inspired? - yet frustrated enough to write to our Chairman and management expressing my utter disbelief at the goings on.

For me the comments and promises made by Hall and Shepherd regarding summer plans bear no resemblence at all to what the pair have delivered and I feel more let down by these failures than their idiotic comments in some Spanish brothel.

I can take crap performances on the pitch but to be encouraged to believe all the crap they tell the press about this and that and the quality they are going to bring to SJP and then see what they conjour up is unnaceptable.

Bobby openly stated that he wanted FOUR QUALITY SIGNINGS THAT COULD WALK STRAIGHT INTO THE SIDE.

So far he has got NONE - Elliot maybe the exception ( but not a Ziegge as mentioned earlier. Time for him to tell us all what the hell is going on.

pissed off. Ramsgate

We have approximately two months to go till the start of the season.

I appreciate that signings SHOULD be brought in as soon as possible but that is not always possible.

I would ask you who they should be looking to sign? Whic players of real quality/stature are going to join our mid table outfit?

"Bobby openly stated that he wanted FOUR QUALITY SIGNINGS THAT COULD WALK STRAIGHT INTO THE SIDE"

Doesn't say more about the current squad than the new players?

I don't think so Bobby. Theses players aren't adding anything to our squad. Besides, a player like Elliot will not stay injury- free over long periods.

I was also responding to the belief on here that that would be it for the summer

I'd be quite surprised if we didn't make another couple of signings yet, Pete. We badly need one of these signings to create some enthusiasm and optimism among the fans.

The young Dutch lad and a forward will do for me.

Oh yes & another midfielder

and I forgot a left winger.

but then we'll be OK.

Mind you we've only 2 goalies (unless Karelse is still around)
