The up and coming Premier League season has the feeling of one of critical importance to Newcastle, in justifying the heights that the club reached last season. With this in mind, the current transfer window could prove vital.
If Mike Ashley handed a £100m cheque to Alan Pardew and told him to go out and buy the best of English (or even British), who would you/he buy? £100m is roughly what Liverpool paid for Carroll, Johnson, Henderson and Downing!
Should Newcastle United sell or keep Williamson, Gosling, Forster, Guthrie, Harper, Ryan Taylor, Obertan, Perch, Simpson, Ranger, Best and Shola, to make space for new talent?
I heard a guy sitting behind me at SJP refer to Obertan as a player that he hates. Why?! This ‘fan’ justified this in conversation to his equally inept mate by saying ‘you have to hate one player and I’ve chosen him’.
