Nuwtfly Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 Jack Colback set to be left out of Newcastle's 25 man squad. Not sure what his wages are like (probably ridiculous) but he could be a useful addition in that enforcer role next to Huddlestone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon the attraction with Celtic would be Champions League - if he did well then it opens up many possibilities for the lad. Looks a good player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because someone plays in the lower leagues doesn't mean they can't shine in a better team, would probably Excel further with better players around them. N Nigel managed to create a good team whilst getting rid of Deadwood on a shoe string, like managing with your hands tied. My point was spending loads on players doesn't always mean success, just look at Huddersfield last year they had the same budget as Rotherham. Why arent we a club who Gamble's on lower league talent, rather than waiting and offering large fees a year later. Both players will probably be picked up cheaply by someone else and then sold to a club like us for £10m after 1 good season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidy and hard working but not that creative.We're crying out for a " Matty James" type in midfield and a pacy,goal scoring winger.Come on Gary,22 days and counting!!?

My point is you have a MUCH better chance of getting genuine talent if they've been spotted and trained at a top club - Ince was trained at Liverpool We need the next Tom Ince - Not the next Michael Jacobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to pay for 10 million players- and they'll cost that much, some will succeed and some don't, but you ain't gonna get the players without risk.

Since 14/15 when we started spending big on players the only real 'miss' we've had is Camara (who know on Blackman yet) and even he would probably have got into most mid-table championship sides (QPR wanted him I think) Just from 12/13 alone we can go with Jacobs, O'Connor, Sammon and Freeman - Who were perfectly good enough to finish 10th - But nowhere near good enough to challenge for promotion You stay in the championship and finish mid-table if you like - I want to see us in the Premier League - And for that we need to risk serious money trying to find serious players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
