NUFC/Sportswashing - Summer 2022

[Houghtoner]

"A Premier league classic that they will talk about for years to come" according to Tyne Tees news.

 

[genewolf]

Another meh signing for the mags.

 

[gipetto]

Average. The best they can hope for I guess.

 

[Drexl]

Proper underwhelming for them. Almost as if they haven’t got the money they thought they had.

Doesn't look like his own arm and hand ?

 

[Roker Mackem]

Another meh signing for the mags.

And after all the Adam Johnson stuff..now this

 

[Ghfd]

I’ve no idea where this player operates nor his past form

What happened to the likes of the galactico’s from Real Madrid, PSG etc

Buying forwards from Watford is a bit underwhelming for the richest club in the world.

 

[Skylon]

It's mad, isn't it? Are people still talking about our 3-3 away to man city? Nobody gives a toss really

 

[Bladecat]

It’s ok though because it’s common in the country he hails from ? which means the Adam Johnson song can still continue as his is worse. Utterly vacuous human beings the mags

See also Papa Cisse and his 13 year old pregnant bride who they worshipped as well

 

[Arkle]

He's young and may improve but he's not done too much so far. Am I right in thinking he plays as a wide forward so will be battling with St Max and Pugsley Almiron for a place in the team?

That’s completely different though. Ya divvent understand man!

There'll be reasons (cultural is a good one), to explain why João Pedro is fine. His girlfriend looked quite a bit younger than 15 mind. Very uncomfortable.

 

[RedFlag1308]

A nonce to fit in with the club culture. Good move for him though given the fanbase are lower than a snakes kite and devoid of morals.

 

[Be Here Now]

Depends how you want to spin investment. A successful club that develops a global outreach and a wide fan base does wonders for tourism as one example. Not all 'benefits' have to be direct investment projects.

There's definitely logic in the idea that if PIF have a shareholding in the region, and a large one at that, they're more likely to look at investment opportunities in that area. Ruben brothers already own quite a bit of land in the area and that's probably why they were brought onboard, along with their wealth of course.


As pointed out to you before, the Saudis have/are already investing in the region. You keep saying the same thing and you're just plain wrong.

Surely you've read the articles that were directed your way and found that the investment is very much in Teesside. Which if you didn't already know is very much not Newcastle or Newcastle United.

If you want to be pedantic, an argument could be made that investing in Newcastle United itself is investing in the region and local NE economy in a multitude of ways.

Just because you can't/don't see it doesn't mean it's not there.


It's such a weird hill to die on. Pick the other far easier and far worse wrongs of the Saudi regime and rip them a new one on them. But this investment thing is such a non-starter. Anyone half educated can pick out multiple economic benefits a takeover has for the region if it goes on to be successful.

As I said before

Forward. Two goals since mid Jan, one of those in the Championship.

 

[Thatheaderman]

His partner said she cant wait to come over as think there's a Cbeebies show on soon at the Sage.

 

[Blyth]

Is messi cleaning his boots?

Forward. Two goals since mid Jan, one of those in the Championship.

Excellent, based on this Stewart’s fee is now £30 million
