Dele Alli makes sense tbh, if we are not going to get Lingard, then at least Alli is along those lines in that you know he can actually put the ball in the net.
-
Well, here's hoping. I must admit I am not getting too caught up about any potential signing until we see some solid momentum building after all the Cantwell, Ekiteke and the rest of them have come and gone. I'm gonna wait for a thread to go up before I get too excited.
-
What I meant was that they won't sell because we probably aren't in for those players. I haven't heard on serious football journalist suggest any of them as genuine targets, in the same way we've been hearing about Botman, Carlos or Lingard.
-
I feel Wood would end up being isolated again, just the same as happened against Watford.
-
You believe these links are genuine then?
-
I have a horrible feeling some might be saying this about our squad when this window closes.
-
Time for Jeffy Hendrick then, obvs.
-
Mate they aren't going to sell us one of those players, let alone all three. These all feel like really random links which are being chucked out there on twitter with no genuine source to verify.
-
I'd absolutely love it. In the unlikely event we can buy 3 top class players from one club ( )I'll take it every day of the week, we'd be helping them enormously in their fight to balance the books.
-
I was talking about the journalist, not Pep, obviously he wouldn't give a fuck.
-
We were under less pressure at the start of the season though, far harder once we are already fighting relegation. The mood and momentum was set by Bruce in those early fixtures.
-
We won't pass our way there for sure. Get the ball up there to Wood, and then have another forward sniffing close by to pick up the knockdowns or lay-offs. The only one capable of doing it for me is Willock. Not ASM Not Fraser Not Miggy Just Willock.
-
I get the feeling it's one of those made up rumours though, nothing at all to suggest there's been serious feelers put out.
-
I just saw Pep's press conference where a journalist announced that Newcastle are going to Saudi Arabia, and would he be doing the same, and he said no. To me the question reeked of jealousy and resentment constant with the general disillusionment that we are challenging the big boys now. But I must stress, this is just my interpretation.
-
He'll be 31 in April, that would mean 3 strikers at the club around 30yrs in age, for a combined fee of about £70m. Actually it doesn't sound that bad when you look at it like that.
-
It's also showing little connection with our fans, who have been incredibly supportive of Howe to this point. Only the social media incel types are talking in such weird terms.
-
Which is why I think we should just bypass the midfield, and go 5-2-3 or 3-5-1-1 or some shit like that. The midfielders we've got are non-existent anyway to all extents and purposes.
-
He talks such a good game it's impossible to not be impressed.
-
Maybe Shelvey will go through a purple patch and score 7 goals in the remainder of the season. Here's hoping.
-
Don't remember the exact specifics (as usual) but I do recall backing KK publicly, but in private getting more and more worried as the games ran down. But what will always stick in my mind is Keegan telling the players to keep passing, to keep playing and not worry about results, he would take complete responsibility for them. That was him to a tee though, he always knew how to get the best out of even the shittest bunch of players.
-
I mean it's just a dumb comment, we saw from last season Willock can score goals, he knows how to find space in the area. What he can't do is play a CM role where's doing the dirty work. Neither can Shelvey, and I'm not sure what else he offers.
-
He might score a goal, Shelvey won't. If you are playing a 3 man midfield, I'd go with Longstaff and Joelinton to provide the backbone, and let Willock have a bit of freedom as an attacking midfielder.
-
No you couldn't, it was absolutely horrific for the first 8 games, and there were plenty of knee jerk wankers saying we should never have brought him back, bring back Allardyce etc.
-
We don't actually know that though. Could be Fernandez himself has been crying off for a lot of games. It's all speculation at this point one way or the other.
