brownie21390 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Interestingly, less than 24 hours after the transfer window had closed, Newcastle’s head of recruitment Steve Nickson and the rest of his scouting team had already started analysing potential summer targets. United’s recruitment team are reviewing the players who they have been scouting across Europe and looking at areas where Newcastle can strengthen in the summer, something which suggests Benitez is still planning for the long term at St James’ Park. “On Thursday, when I was talking with Steve Nickson and the scouting team have been working so hard for all these months,” Benitez said of Newcastle’s potential summer business. “I said: ‘Listen, take some holidays.’ But some of them are already just analysing for the summer. “We are doing a review now of the players that we were following, how they were doing, and all these things. But they are doing that already.” Might as well all have a permanent holiday if Ashley is still here in the summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 The strategy of buying cheap and selling high no longer works because no one is cheap anymore. To Ashley anyway. £14m gets Locadia, £19m for Carillo. That doesn't even get Jorgensen. I could see this loan method being Ashley's 'thing' until it's sold. Spend a few million each for some decent loan players. Kenedy & Slimani would have easily cost £30m minimum to buy outright. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Which, ON (off of NO), makes me a little optimistic. Because now that his basic business model is no longer applicable, emotion aside, given he can see this, has said as much, it is tick-tock until he’s off.

Not that he'll understand that. You'd need to loan plus sign some ooc types, plus pick up the odd Merino bargain for it to work. Plus as we've seen with Slimani you never get the player you need when you need them :/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

morla84 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Salmon Rondon please No thanks imo! Unless you mean as a squad player. He's an upgrade on Joselu imo. Done alright recently despite playing for The King. Thought he'd scored more tbh, but seem to remember hitting the woodwork a couple of times too. Realistic signing, rather than ideal.

Dokko Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Johnny Evans, £3m. Probably go to Chelsea for £150kpw like for that fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Sign the ‘keeper up permanently, Kennedy if we can or back on loan, get a proper 10 and a goal scorer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Bailey Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 The lad Maddison at Norwich looks a cracking player. Would imagine he will move on come the summer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbemba Youre A Womble Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 From the teams looking most likely/gone at the moment - WBA, Southampton/Stoke/Palace - who would people take? WBA - Foster, Evans for me.. Think Rondon's pretty s**** tbh, Not counting Krychowiak, rest of that squad are no better than what we have. Southampton - Happen to think a lot of their players would be quite a bit better than what we have if they we're here under Rafa. So most of their squad really, but Bertrand, Tadic, Lemina, Cedric could all improve us I think Stoke - Shaqiri, Allen, Butland at a push Martins Indi Palace - Zaha, Milovojevic.

summerof69 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Really want Luan now, since we were linked in january so I would like to see us lining up something like this. ----------------------dubz------------------ Yed----------las-------------lej----------dum --------------jj--------------mo------------- Murphy-------------luan--------------kenn ---------------------Slim------------------- With Fabian also coming in if we have enough left Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbemba Youre A Womble Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Slimani Doubt we'll be bothering with him come the summer, unless he really has impressed Rafa or hits a Cisse like start whenever he does get fit. Hopefully we can move onto bigger/better targets. Starting season with Diame still in midfield, and Murphy as first choice would worry me too.

summerof69 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Hmm maybe you're right. Tbh, don't know much about Slimani really haven't sen him play much just put him in because I wasn't sure who else to put there. Maybe worth taking a punt on the other Murphy ?
