NUFC Sportswashing 2022

[KGC83]

It's the other stuff! e.g.

"Even if Wood loses his starting place on Wilson’s return, he will be deemed money well spent if he helps Newcastle avoid the fate they suffered in 2009 and 2016.

Should the worst happen, Trippier and Wood are players who would be expected to excel in the second tier, helping help secure promotion at the first attempt, but no one at St James’ Park wants to contemplate that possibility. When, last October, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund purchased a majority 80% stake in a club co-owned with the minority shareholders Amanda Staveley and Reuben Brothers, it certainly did not envisage suffering the spectacular loss of face across the Middle East which would accompany relegation."

Trippier to play in the championship? Not sure about that either.

Newcastle are adding
Burnley are taking away and then quickly looking to replace
Massive difference

What Burnley we’re doing wasn’t working though. They were going down with Wood in the side.

They have rolled the dice.

Imagine the reaction if Bruce had signed Wood

Spending 25 million on a backup striker to cover 8 weeks says to me that money is absolutely no object.

Why aren’t they offering 100m for Botman then?

 

[hodge1973]

Love how they are trying to spin the narative that this signing is exactly the same as when City signed Bellamy, the media are again proving embarrassing in their bias towards them.

 

[Deleted member 41188]

On the day of the Takeover if some one had suggested to the mags that their first striker signed would be 30 year old Chris Wood for 25m they would have told you where to go.

 

[Gene Hunt]

Seems like they are building their own version of Dad’s Army. They’ll be signing 39 year old Defoe next and hailing it as a brilliant signing.

£25m

It's like one of those crazy release clauses you put in for your players on Football Manager, knowing it will never be hit

Burnley look absolutely fucked anyway, but how funny would it be if they signed a replacement for a fraction of that fee who ended up firing them to survival

Cornet was £13m and he is their top scorer (albeit with 6, admittedly). No reason they can’t do it again and they probably have someone lined up anyway

 

[Squat]

They’ve signed the wrong player

nice try, but those 4 players have barely played half a season. subs or injured. wood has played almost every minute.

I prefer Wood scoring plenty mags hailing as the new Zealand shearer then in their must win game he misses a sitter which sends them down.

 

[Mowgli]

The mags would rather pay 25m for wood than 2.5m. Spending money makes them feel relevant.

Ashley would never have paid 25 million for a 31 year old backup striker, if a better backup striker was available we would have bought him so not worried about who Burnley spend the money on.

no, he paid £40m foe Jur Linturn

 

[Mackem2017]

Yea being ‘skint and irrelevant’ is worse than being owned by rapists and murderers

[ned_werby]

Newcastle are adding panic-buying
Burnley are taking away and then quickly looking to replace considering their options
Massive difference

compared to Wood, it would be.

 

[Bear]

Good signing, shows money is no object when you can afford to pay £25 million for a backup striker to cover your main striker who is out for 8 weeks, not many teams could do that.

A fair few clubs can tbf not as if it’s £80m for a back up striker you utter prat

£25m for Chris Wood

 

[Mackem2017]

Nat Phillips now this takeover is not what they imagined is it
