Never ever gonna have this, sorry. He didn’t even play them.
He said it himself that he did.

My understanding is he was presented with options during his final interview (Jan 29/30th) and gave them the go ahead. I'm not suggesting he scouted them or demanded them or anything. They were options on the table and he gave the nod.

And even if we're just going in terms of did we have a manager here when those players were signed, then yes, we did. Lampard was officially appointed Jan 31st, with those two players signed later that day too.

Lampard supposedly has had a lot to do with Danjuma coming here, as he would do given that's been the way they've done things, with Thelwell negotiating the deal.

I think we really should stop letting managers decide who we buy and start operating like a 21st century football club.

Keep saying it but 11 months in and our DoF hasn't yet hired a head of recruitment (officially appointed anyway) and the one it supposedly is is an internal appointment.

It's crazy.

Manager tells HoR type of player(s) he wants > HoR oversees options, comes back with list > DoF signs off.

With loan deals, in fairness, then the manager does come into play more. It's only the same as us loaning a young player out - they need to go somewhere where they're going to play etc or the manager wants them (why El Ghazi was such a mad move last year since Benitez didn't even want him).
 
Amazing everyone believing a jouno about danjuma not wanting Moyes in.

Journos like Alex crock are so well connected and never make stuff up for the sake of it do they?

Give your head a wobble it’s prob bs
 

I know it doesn't take being nostradamus to absolutely predict the current events in motion happening , but absolutely knew this was going to occur after bournemouth did the double on us and it was going to mirror last season with Benitez being sacked at the last minute after bringing players in and only a very sparse amount of time left to sort out transfers and a managerial replacement. They had all of world cup to sound out a replacement even if they didn't sack Frank then an immediate contingency should of been considered. Bunch of inept cretins never learn
 

I get that, and I said at the time we couldn't afford Trippier on £130k a week, like how we can't afford Ings on £100k a week - even though really he's the type of forward we'd need, and KT is the type of RB we needed.

But he's been an absolute gamechanger for Newcastle.
Oh I know, he is a good player.

He would be crap for us though because Everton.
 
Being reported that Gordon is going for around £40m, can never trust what some people are saying though.

Repeating myself from the summer and Chelsea but if Newcastle are willing to pay that we HAVE to sell him. The squad needs re-investment and funds aren't coming from almost anywhere else. At least in this window. Factor minimal drop off in relation to current output and any sensible club with a competent sell on strategy in our situation wouldn't think twice.
 
The kind of signings we would make if we were a competent club. For a manager I wish we could hire. Alas.
