Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [15th - 19th September 2017]

I said in another thread Benitez will probably get Newcastle in Europe, it's a long season but 3 wins a row in the Premier League is good by any teams standards.

It might annoy the fans, but it's about protecting the players. He doesn't want to through them under the bus/crush their confidence/make them feel like they're on borrowed time/etc. It's like when people focus on how he said he was happy with the defence during the transfer window... that doesn't mean he's happy with it... it means he doesn't want to alienate his current players and explicitly tell other clubs he's desperate so they jack up prices even more.

Don't take what he says literally.

That's a fair point but he has had two transfer windows to improve it and hasn't done both times so he clearly is happy with it imo
 
I can't find anything on this bonus other than he's offered 20m to win the fa cup. I offer 50m, my money is also safe. As for them getting European football next year, no chance, unless by fair play.

Except for signing Robertson and obviously chasing Van Dijk*?

*I know Soton were saying they weren't going to sell etc, but in the history of transfer business how often has a club actually turned down £60/70m? You can see why they might have thought it was going to happen.

You shouldnt just chase one player and give up, there is many more centre backs out there that could improve us, I should have been clearer when I say defence I mean just centre back specifically
