I, for one, am pretty damn excited about how large the transfer kitty will be. Some sources say £50-60m but until this season ends, I doubt anyone will know for certain. I also think we'll see an incredible difference in the team thats playing today to the one that'll be assembled in the summer. The difference will be like night and day, like black and white you could say. Yes I used that pun on purpose. I think most of us realise that this season is heading towards a mid-table finish and that we should really focus on what lies ahead because with such a small squad at present, we're never likely to handle sudden surges up the table for long periods. How many players do you see coming in and with a squad so small, is there reason to let any go? So, do you forsee an exciting rollercoaster of a summer?

Shearergol Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Personally, I think we'll (the fans) all get really excited, but in reality we'll (the club) sign about 4 players, none of which we'll (the fans) be that bothered about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Hope we can get a few quality signings in, not expecting a radical Chelski-style overhaul though... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I'm not expecting anything special. And from now on, i'm turning into a pessimiste. I'm sick of being an optimiste with Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnypd Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 if we had Abramovich type money, that is, going for players regardless of their cost, we would've spent money already. i don't think we'll spend huge amounts, probably £30m or so.

Willow Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 My estimate is that we'll spend £40m and get 7 or 8 players in..........that'd be amazing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Forcing optimism, but this is a question that could have been asked last year as well. edit: God damn MC Hammer could dance his ass off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorpinho Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I think the club will TRY to be ambitious but fail and lose out on any quality players to teams offering any sort of European football. We will be lucky to get anyone of any decent quality, despite the best intentions of KK and the depth of Mike Ashley's pockets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjmc Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I assume Kev came with the assumption there was money to spend, he didn't have the time to get in who he wanted already commented on the difficulty of it all. i would like him to assess who he likes and doesn't in the current squad and take it from there. Can see it being a man city type big spend but can see a few leaving so I would imagine we will still be putting up with a relatively small squad still. predicition 50m then minus any out goings.

Shak Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 The half arsed attempt by the club in this window suggests more of the same in the next. How has it been half arsed? We have signed NOBODY!! If we can't sign the players we want we should be signing other players, just for the sheer sake of it. We clearly have the money, may as well just spend it for the laugh if nothing else.

Dokko Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 The half arsed attempt by the club in this window suggests more of the same in the next. How has it been half arsed? I don't see any much needed players through the door, do you? KK restricts himself to UK shores only knowing for a fine fact nee fukers going to sell at a decent rate. We CAN afford to pay over the odds for the right players, we can't afford not too, having no Europe next season will cost the club greatly when again going for transfers in the summer. We also needed some players in to give the club a lift, players, fans, backroom staff alike, and we need to fill some important positions so we can at least push on and possibly get a backdoor passage in to Europe for next season. None of that will happen unless we get a few bodies in. The quality is out there, we should take a chance on some European targets and see what happens, i'm sure there are a lot of people quite happy to see Arshavin in and let him settle in to English football during this write off season, it could of worked well, but now we will never know. Quite disappointed in this transfer window, and it will be the same in the summer due to the club losing even more appeal after another bum year.

As I've said in another thread, people have just built their hopes up and are at the point of wanting to see anyone in just for the sake of it now.

Was just an example, but tbh, if he hasn't seen him play then he has no business in managing a premiership football club. I'm sure he knows who he is, he just doesn't want to take a chance, i think we should, it can't harm us much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If KK hasn't even requested a video of him then he's not the man for the job. We need attacking players, KK wants attacking football, he's one player everyone knows is available, if he hasn't watched him since become NUFC boss then he wants a kick up the arse.

Requested a video of him? How does "everyone" know he's available? I've got news for you: not everyone frequents internet forums where people pretend to be experts about players from all over the world. 99% of Newcastle fans won't have ever heard his name. Keegan's been in the job a week and he's supposed to know enough to be prepared to spunk £10m or whatever on a Russian based on nowt but a video and the Sky Sports website bullshit mill? Seriously, has everyone on this forum lost their mind? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
