Vacamion Posted 13 January 2023 Share Posted 13 January 2023 I've said it here before, but Trossard's "Eyes like Sheep's Coonts" look, combined with his otherwise boyish demeanour, make him look like a troubled boy who can't sleep because he sees dead people. I for one, would welcome the Belgian Panda to our club. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 13 January 2023 Share Posted 13 January 2023 For however good Brighton are, they won't get Champions League football. That is the pull for these players after a spell at a club outside the elite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me the club, and Eddie Howe, have to take the moral high ground here and bin him from the squad for a game or two. But this is Newcastle Utd, where moral high ground isn't particularly high, so fully expect him to start in the next game. There is no moral high ground on anything Newcastle, they sold their morality when Saudi Arabia bought them. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted 13 January 2023 Share Posted 13 January 2023 2 hours ago, Jaspa said: Great form at the start of this season though. Think he'd fit in well here with our Belgian contingent. He'd fit well in our 19/20 and 20/21 seasons. 1 hour ago, Jaspa said: It's hard to feel sorry for Potter after he's jumped ship for money, but the Chelsea situation is a complete basketcase. He's had so many players bought in I doubt he has had much to any say on the January buys, constant influx of players and it feels as though he only took charge a month of football ago. Shame to see yet another English manager take the bait and fall, if that's what happens. Would still be interested in him here, but given the personal tragedies and the possibility of his career path taking a high profile wollop, you might want to sound it out first. Yes and no. I agree, however (And it's easier to have this view on another teams manager/players than I have of any of 'our lot' who have jumped ship and flopped - I reckon only Mahrez has gone on to have a successful and worthwhile career - playing fairly regularly? Maybe Kante - unluckily blighted with injuries) he had to take the jump, he'd arguably never have another opportunity, if it's offered, you take it, Howe arguably never took a further step when at Bournemouth (Although, not sure he was actually ever offered an opportunity but was often talked about the next [insert club] manager) then it was too late and he got sacked, luckily for him Newcastle took a gamble and look at them go. Like Lampard the money splashed about, the ego's at Chelsea, it's hard to see it working for Potter, he's simply a better manager and gets more out of 'lesser' players.

Kante is not complaining..he's won all major honours and carries great memories in many Chelsea fans thoughts. Before signing for us,he knew he was joining Chelsea ( contractural agreements)...Many a top player would still love Kante's CV. Even if only one season, for us & splintered seasons with Chelsea,he's done his job... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've put up with his "learning" and given him a platform now he acts like this because he feels he is better off sitting on the bench of a bigger club. So, Tielemans ?

The only people that belong in the latter category are the ones that down tools which, for my money, is just Fofana. I disagree with anyone that says Mahrez stopped trying and those levelling the accusation at Tielemans can definitely get in the bin. Otherwise none of them owe us anything. They aren't fans. They're contracted employees and their careers are insanely short. The older I get the more tolerance I have for players wanting to move on to better prospects. I don't consider myself old, I think I've got the vast majority of my working life still ahead of me. But I'm older than our entire squad. Blows my mind the idea of being past your best at 30. Crazy. Let them make hay while they can and stop being so fvcking precious about it. You don't want to end up looking like entitled Scousers still crying at Sterling 5738374 years later because he dared go somewhere to win things.

It is a short career, and can be cut short by injuries. But even at our club, the top earners can bring in more in a week than many of us can earn in two years. There is a limit to what behaviour is deemed acceptable. Luckily most players know this. If they can't behave in a professional manner then they should forfeit certain privileges.

It's about winning trophies and having an opportunity to play in the Champions League, the glory of which has been packaged and sold to these kids all their lives and they want the glitz of going out there and being a part of it.

taupe Posted 13 January 2023 Share Posted 13 January 2023 From the BBC Villa v Leeds match thread.... Quote Unai Emery hopes to add to new signing Alex Moreno but says players will need to leave first, with Ludwig Augustinsson expected to exit. Aston Villa have completed the £13.2m signing of Moreno from Real Betis and now have the Spanish left-back, Augustinsson and Lucas Digne as options in that position. "We have more players with the possibility to leave and if we can do it we can add more players," Emery said. "We want to improve and have better balance in the squad with different profiles.
