Pardew absolutely wasted some fantastic players. One f them making a point that Carr assembled that squad very cheaply (true) but I just don’t think those deals are available nowadays for internationals, even at the end of their contracts.

Aye, even Remy on loan would cost us £4-5 million now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I don't think Rafa or anybody else could have done any better with that side the season we finished 5th tbf to Pardew. The reality is that Rafa would have had HBA nowhere near the side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13794 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I’m on about when we had Debuchy, Coloccini, Tiote, Cabaye, Remy, Cisse, Ben Arfa and Sissoko in the same side and we could barely string two decent results together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21812 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Some decent footballers in that side, on paper at least. Shame they wereaky spineless fair weather frenchies, coached by a clueless moron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 34835 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 If I wasn’t a Newcastle fan I’d love to see Pardew back here as it’s what some of the alleged followers of this club deserve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 940 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 This from Rafa's press conference Rafa Benitez on transfers. . . When asked if he will speak about transfer at all this month. This might be my position for the whole of January, maybe, & then I might talk on February 1 but we will see Rafa Benitez on his aims When I decided to come it was because of the potential of the club & everything. I like to have a project, be ambitious, & first of all get into the top 10. I understand how they feel, but now I have to do my job to keep us up Rafa Benitez on expectations The problem here is that the expectation is big because of how massive the club is. But we are in a situation we do not deserve to be in because we are such a big club with massive potential, but we have to make sure we stay up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 17079 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 New contract offer! https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/sport/newcastle-offer-rafa-benitez-one-year-contractextension-pp597mbj7 sane as the one in the summer & no writing credit for an article in The Times so very likely to be utter bullshit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30258 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 The article is by Martin Hardy so likely to be on the money. I still don’t see any reason for him to stay on without a guarantee of funds to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13794 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) Why the fuck would he even entertain the idea of another year working with these jokers? Edited January 6, 2019 by Ayatollah Hermione Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 34835 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 It definitely smacks of something Ashley would come up with, ie another 12 month sticking plaster in lieu of anything approaching a strategy. Quite why he thinks Benitez would go for it is another matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper 940 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 If you don't sign there's no transfer funds. Rafa should tell him to go fuck himsel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 6986 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Apparently Rafa sacked his agent for negotiating a contract Rafa couldn't get out of without a financial penalty. No way he's going to tie himself into another deal when he could walk into most other jobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he's being nothing short of blackmailed. I think he'll be now looking for another "project" nobody could/should blame him.
