The more you think about last summer’s transfer window, the more it has killed Newcastle’s season - and will also hamstring them in future windows. £222m worth of talent signed last summer (4 players) on the bench today, only getting a handful of minutes between them. If even two of them had been an immediate success (like Isak, Bruno G, Trippier, Burn etc were) #NUFC would be in a much stronger position and IMO in European places. In addition to the psychological problems when they go in front (25 point dropped from winning positions), it feels like there’s a real issue with staleness in the team. You can get away with one big-money signing not working out…but not 4 in one window. (NB. I think Ramsey is a player btw, but he’s not played enough due to injury).

🇩🇪 Keith Downie on Nick Woltemade, who he believes may leave in the summer!: "I’m not sure if Nick Woltemade was (good value) at £69m. He looks a good player. Looks like he’s got real assets. Does he have the assets that Newcastle need in the way they play? No. So, I feel.... that signing was probably a mistake as well. “Will Nick Woltemade be a Newcastle player next season? I would suggest there’s a question mark over that. I think if someone came in and offered the club, you know, close to what they paid for him, I think it’s a chance Woltemade could go in the summer.” He is a great player, and I bet he goes off and has a great World Cup too. Personally, I think Eddie needs to set the team up around him to better suit his skill set rather than try him to shoe horn him into the current system which was built for Isak #NUFC #NUFCNews #Newcastle #EPL
