Grumpy 122 Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) It would be nice to actually have confirmation of a signing as I am getting very frustrated looking on the EDP every 5minutes since the transfer window opened for any good news Edited January 18, 2021 by Grumpy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pete 318 Posted January 18, 2021 After a succesful medical Giannis will have to isolate for 10days so will not be in Fa Cup team. Provided not positive in the interim. Sure medical doesn't count to isolation period.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It says that he can join the team for training if he returns a negative test on the fifth day after arrival. No doubt he would have been tested on arrival which was Friday, medical was said to have taken place on Saturday. He hasn't signed yet and wouldn't be able to train until Weds at the very earliest if they include Friday, if not it would be Thursday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can’t be good for Jamal’s confidence I'm not that surprised. It wasn't a good move for Lewis - I think he jumped too soon after all the Liverpool speculation, and I said at the time that we had ripped Newcastle off again, as we did with Murphy. Very difficult to fit in at Newcastle, as shown by dozens of others and he is nowhere near the complete answer that you would expect to get for £15m - he should either have stayed with us or gone to a less chaotic place, but I guess money and agents talk. Godfrey has made a better move, to a more stable team with a good, solid management structure and should get the time he needs to grow and develop into the player he can be. It also shows just how difficult it is to buy the right players, even for decent money, and to integrate them into that crucial local culture. Newcastle is a micro-environment of unjustified expectation and pressure - a bit like that small town down the road - and consequently a complete basket case. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ekoku: The Ambassador Of The People 122 Posted January 21, 2021 Too be honest i’m not surprised either. I agree we say Newcastle coming and they paid well over his value.  Plus for me, a player so young and his career just kick-starting was prepared to go sit on the bench and play the odd cup tie and lesser games in the CL tells you a lot. Ok he would have had a World Class Manager and coaches and players but their LB they signed afterwards has hardly featured which goes to show what his position would have been there. Plus with Jamal he was always the one player i wasn’t fussed about leaving. I felt his position could have been filled more easily than if we were to replace Buendia, Cantwell and Aarons Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I felt his position could have been filled more easily than if we were to replace Buendia, Cantwell and Aarons We could well be replacing those players in the summer judging by Farke’s comments. But the good thing is that we’ll get some serious wonga for them, we’ll already have talents lined up that I’m sure we’re watching closely perhaps down in South America etc right now. And we will certainly have the cash to spend a few quid on those replacements (I’m thinking around the Gianni fee bracket). And though we’ll have some money to spend, I honestly can’t think of even a single other club in the last 2 or 3 years that has signed the level of players we have for such minimal outlay. It’s nothing short of remarkable really - Webber, Farke, and the recruitment team have got a ridiculous amount of talent for mere pennies, it’s not far off daylight robbery in some cases.

Canary Wundaboy 1,359 Posted January 21, 2021 Feel sorry for Jamal, this period at Newcastle is really going to dent his confidence and possibly his career. Don't feel sorry for Newcastle, saw them coming and ripped them off again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ekoku: The Ambassador Of The People 122 Posted January 21, 2021 Its stange for Jamal as when he came on the scene he was brilliant. Just seems to have stagnated. I’m just glad the fans aren’t in the stadium for him at the mo as going through some of their game posts he gets a fair amount of stick.  But i never thought Steve Bruce was going to push him onto the next level either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well done.  And, truly, that's no disrespect to Lewis. A great lad a solid footballer. But we robbed them at £15m. And it wasn't a great move for him. And we now have better options. It happens.
