I think Ruud van Nistelrooy would have kept us up, and if we'd acted faster than Leicester, we could have got him here. We have better players in the squad, like Amo-Ameyaw and Taylor, but Martin has hardly ever played them. We all know we should have bought a goalscorer in the summer and Ayoub El Kaabi would have been a realistic target well within our price range. Sometimes, you just want to grab whoever's in charge of our player and manager recruitment now and ask, "Why can't you see these things?" It will be interesting to see who Newcastle's new DOF, Paul Mitchell, signs in next year's transfer windows, as he was the best head of recruitment we ever had. [Post edited 9 Dec 2024 11:31]
