r0cafella Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I struggle to see who we could realistically get (Austin aside). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Austin for starters, Callum Wilson. Pretty sure we were sniffing around Wilson when he was at Coventry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Based of nowt more than - his face, his twat of a Dad, and that whole contract holdout sitch he had, I believe Tom Ince to be the exact opposite of what we need at NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 If we are going to sign British, it absolutely has to be a dominating centre back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 We won't pay the fees for Premiership players so we'd be looking at the Championship if we changed policy - Keane from Burnley, Gray from Birmingham, Austin etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 If we are going to sign British, it absolutely has to be a dominating centre back. Villa signed two who would have been ideal ahead of Coloccini. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 1 transfer window out of 15(?) where MA has pulled out his wallet purely on the basis that the intense media coverage generated is seriously impacting his brand (this has nothing to do with our almost-relegation as nothing was done after Pardew's near-miss). This 1 transfer window does not make up for constant neglect from the FCB, the rotten attitude has always came from the top and has seeped down through to everybody, especially the players. New players are not going to be painted a pretty picture by the players when they first come into the club, which will be a huge influence on them more than what the management could do - they've all been here long enough to know exactly what the craic is with this club so it's no surprise we have a 'toxic' dressing room. We know the players we've got are good on paper, if unproven - with the exception of maybe Thauvin who came off the back of a poor season and is a risk - but the likes of Wijnaldum, Mitro and Mbemba have lit up their divisions before coming here. The fans needs stop directing flak to individual Ashley pawns and every fan needs to direct it straight to him and keep making serious waves to get him out of OUR f***ing club. all due respect but Ashley certainly hasn't pulled out his wallet. this comes from the profits the clubs already made.

Wallace Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 They will struggle to find any decent players wanting to join us in January if continue playing as we are at the moment. Austin might have been keen in the Summer but if we are bottom of the league in January, there is no way he will want to come and be relegated again. He may as well stay at QPR. If they are looking at Premier League players, they will be looking at players who are out of favour at their clubs or loans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Austin, Ings, Mings & Shawcross were all attainable this summer had we put the right money in for them. I'd have taken Townsend as well, even James Tomkins would improve us massively. Fuck, Johnny Evans would have been a decent signing for us. These are much more like SMC players, but the players we bought were more suitable for a continental manager. None of it makes any sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I'm sorry I forgot we had superstars in our star studded squad Not the point, i don't want to see us sign crap just because they are English. Also signing crap players because the current ones are just as bad doesn't do anyone any favors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Don't understand why people are scapegoating Carr. I think we've bought well this summer regardless of the start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Don't understand why people are scapegoating Carr. I think we've bought well this summer regardless of the start. None of them have lifted us or played well. Neither has anyone else but you're looking for a lift. At this point i'd have Townsend over Thauvin. I hope this looks like a stupid comment in 12 months but i've seen nothing from the lad. This damage has happened from more than 1 window. We desperately need experience and PL know-how. SDJ & Gini are massive in terms of leadership and it's unfair. They have to adapt to the league/get over injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Don't understand why people are scapegoating Carr. I think we've bought well this summer regardless of the start. going to happen when he's the guy in charge of identifying players and it turns out we have a team who look very rubbish and have looked rubbish more or less since Cabaye left. Part of it is down to the transfer policy obviously, but he has to take at least some blame since we know the manager has next to no input in who gets signed or even what positions get filled (maybe) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Carr has to shoulder his portion of blame if he's been identifying areas where he thought we needed to strengthen. If he's doing what he's been told he's complicit. Either way, I can't understand the signing of Thauvin. In all likelihood he's probably a little bit more than complicit; he's a senior figure in the set up, he's a football man and he should know the likely consequences on the pitch following his choice of targets.

KaKa Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Victor Moses another one not considered. This guy is seemingly always available and we never show interest. Even Zaha would add a lot more to our team and he was available this summer for £5 million for goodness sake. Criminal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Zaha would add a lot more to our team and he was available this summer for £5 million for goodness sake. Criminal. Big wages/loan fee for Moses but he's exactly what we needed. He's a solid lad as well from what I hear. N'Zonzi for £7m. Last season we seriously under invested and where lucky to get away with it. This year, we needed solid transfers man. Every single one was a risk. In fact, the least risky was Gini and he 's been as bad as the biggest risk (Thauvin). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
