Newcastle United have a match at Wolves to stay up for subsequent.
With the house aspect having gained solely as soon as within the Premier League since 9 March 2024, Eddie Howe’s aspect need to journey with confidence.
Particularly as of the opposite 12 Premier League video games they’ve performed these previous six months, Wolves have misplaced 9 of them, together with 5 of the final six at house.
Earlier than we get to that subsequent match although, we initially have tomorrow (Friday 13 September) marking two weeks because the summer time 2024 switch window closed.
The factor is, although it closed again on 30 August, the discuss it’s seemingly nonetheless by no means ending.
I’ve by no means identified something prefer it.
Normally, as soon as a switch window slams shut, Newcastle United followers get on with it.
Not this time.
I perceive the media doing this, continually nonetheless occurring in regards to the gamers Newcastle United did AND didn’t signal. In any case, scary disharmony at NUFC is of their pursuits.
Nevertheless, with Newcastle United followers, I feel so a lot of them are falling into this lure set by the media.
It’s nearly like nothing else issues.
The media and certainly many NUFC followers, have been predicting carnage in the summertime switch window, with shedding struggles predicted when making an attempt to maintain maintain of the likes of Alexander Isak, Bruno Guimaraes and Anthony Gordon.
Newcastle United stored all their greatest gamers.
Everyone knows the explanation why two younger promising squad gamers have been bought. It was to satisfy the three 12 months PSR interval limits the place we had purchased the likes of… Isak, Bruno and Gordon.
It’s what it’s. We’ve to maneuver on from that and we’re, or not less than many people are.
I discover it loopy that so many Newcastle United followers are keen to associate with sure journalists and make out that this summer time window was a complete catastrophe, no positives and so on and so on.
Lloyd Kelly was a category signing, a £30m+ 25 12 months previous who we obtained as a free agent and who is superb as a left-back or left aspect of central defence.
Lewis Corridor has a lot high quality and reminded us of that with a few nice assists this week for the England Below 21s. Solely a matter of time earlier than he’s taking part in for the senior England aspect. At £28m he’ll show an enormous discount in years to come back, much like Tino Livramento on the opposite aspect of the pitch. Newcastle having invested these final two summers on actual high quality for the longer term at full-back.
As for up entrance, Newcastle United followers had been determined for an additional possibility. United stored Callum Wilson as again as much as Alexander Isak AND signed uncooked younger striker Will Osula, who’s huge with tempo and appears actually to have potential on the little now we have seen.
Sure, it was disappointing we didn’t additionally get Marc Guehi, or whoever else.
Nevertheless, this Newcastle United reward voucher doesn’t have an expiry date.
That £70m or no matter that was out there for Guehi, is STILL out there transferring ahead.
It isn’t Mike Ashley the place the money would simply disappear, even when main gross sales occurred.
This isn’t like deadline day in January 2011, when Mike Ashley bought United’s largest asset for £35m.
Then ten days after Andy Carroll left, he ‘changed’ him with 97 12 months previous Shefki Kuqi.
He made six appearances ultimately and it was like one in all us plucked from the group, painful to look at as he tried to run round and make an impression, at a stage he was hopelessly nowhere close to.
Shefki Kuqi admitted that he was amazed to to hitch Newcastle United and admitted that this had made him ‘one of many happiest footballers on the planet!’
He was launched on 25 Might 2011 with out scoring.
My fellow Newcastle United followers, now we have moved on now.
Higher occasions are forward and that cash that wasn’t spent on this newest switch window shall be invested properly within the close to future, the reward voucher shall be spent.
