I cant understand this thread at all tbh,
nufc are in the top half of the prem (playing , man u/man city/spurs etc with a good manager & a owner who splashes the cash )
we are in the bottom half of the champ (playing boro/pne/burton etc with a shit manager & a owner who wont give any money out & wants nothing at all to do with the club & would sell in a heartbeat)

how is there even a argument ? no matter what happens nufc will be playing superior football until the season closes , you can drag up any old shit from years ago but sorry like, low attendances, shit team,shit manager i would die to be in there position right now, fwiw i think they will win today also, ffs , its embarrassing how you lot (posters) try " hang on to stuff" dragging up shit from the past, its the "here & now" man ffs, every time my mags mates say " not doing well are ya " i just say " aye, absolute shit mate" still, i still think my 1.2 corsa is faster than you're 3.0 jaguar:rolleyes:, have some decorum man & chat about this shit when we are in the same league ffs:rolleyes:

Rafa's signings this summer

Joselu 7m - shit and couldn't have scored if he was still playing now. Equally shit last week. Simply shit.

Lejeune 9m - knackered, in no rush to get back, looked poor anyway.

Manquillo 5m - shit (as we warned) and dropped already for yedlin on one side and a centre back on the other.

Murphy 10m - so shit he can't ever get 5 minutes from the bench when they are one down. They brought a 30 something year old full back on who's played about twice in two years.

And they wonder why nasty Mike won't give Wor Rafa money to spend.

:lol:

You's will struggle Sima lad. Not enough goals in the team.

Undoubtedly. It's our weakest area of the team and is a massive concern, but statements like he's been found out, etc.. Come on, we'd won three in a row before this and we are still 9th after six games which I would have snapped your hand off for at the start of the season.

True. Thing is though you know what it's like, lose 1 game and unrest becomes. What's up with Gayle? Heard John Anderson say he was pissed off cos Joselu signed and took the huff.

You've beaten three of the bottom six and lost to the two sides who came up with you. You've played no one remotely decent other than spurs yet.

Not sure, his head doesn't seem to have been in it all season. It doesn't help that he barely featured in pre-season but if he's got a problem with Joselu signing it just shows him as very weak mentally.

Still three wins which I would have taken. Shocked that you're downplaying it like, especially with your inflating of some of our transfer fees and your suggestion that Manquillo was anything other than a back up.

But yes, losing to both Huddersfield and Brighton is a worry. It was a stupid free kick to give away today but those are the margins.

Apologies, 8.7m for Lejeune. I was 300k out. :lol:

How do you rate your four permanent signings out of ten then? Rafa nailed the transfers again like last summer?

I'm not going to cast judgement so early tbh. Would look a bit daft if I did but spending around £5m on a player these days, you can't expect too much.

Did I say that Rafa nailed the transfers last summer?

I think Gayle is peed off personally, It was clear Rafa would sell him if he could. just my opinion of course

I don't know, did you? Just early impressions will do. Your refusal to offer an opinion on them kind of answers the question at the minute.

You saying 'nailed the transfers again' infers that I said it last summer. Yeah, sorry for not condemning players after half a dozen games, especially one that has been injured since the first game of the season. What an arsehole.

So touchy. :lol:

I'm not asking you to condemn them, just offer an opinion on them so far.

You want me to assess someone that has hasn't even played a half of football and another that has made fleeting appearances.

I knew Manquillo was nowt special but meh, he's just a backup
Joselu will score around half a dozen goals this season but what do you expect for £5m, it's not his fault. He leads the line well and brings others into play but from the limited time I've seen him he is guilty of missing too many chances but those that can lead the line well and score a dozen or more goals are really hard to come by and if you do they are ridiculously expensive and out of our budget.

An overall assessment of your summer's business is all I was after, like I said, something arbitrary like out of ten as a group of four. If they can't get a game that's maybe an indication of how they've done? We can simplify it even more if you like. Do you think Rafa's spending in the summer has been good? A simple yes or no will do if that's what you'd prefer.
