Jack Flash Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Dropped 5 winnable points out of 6 so far in the window, partly due to the lack of desperately needed players. He's lucky the Villa game isn't for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Seems to be putting the wrongs of the summer in terms of transfer dealings anyway. Top scorer out, replacement for injured player in. Everyone is saying let's see where we are by the end of the window; cuts both ways. Promising recent signs though, of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATB Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 One good window will not make him a hero. If he starts to run it well for 2 years, then maybe I can start to give him credit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Dawg UK Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 don't all shout me down but I know a source very close to both MA and DL and was told they are looking to spend 15 to 20M this window..The source is extremely good but more than the above i cannot give..... i know most on here will shout me down but i just wanted to post what i was told ! i know we still have spent nothing but i think we all probabily agree there is some intent here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATB Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 But just to add. Should we bring in the names we are rumored to have made bids on we would have done a great window. Make that another window in the summer with a new manager coming in. That would be something. Not holding my breath though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 If reports are true, we have bid in excess of £14m for players (Haiadara, Mbiwa, Thauvin, Gouffran, Mbabu) and have paid £5.5 Million for Debuchy, plus there is still talk we are going to bid big for the Plan B striker after losing out on Remy. Big outlay (if everything that is reported is true) by the fat controller. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Did wonder with him being there on saturday if it finally sparked him into action? Might be irrelevant but if we pull off all these targets then he will have redeemed alot of good feeling for the cock up in the summer. Just hope he does the right thing if Pardew continues to be a prick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have mad some great signings if they come off, but will we have enough goals without Ba? That's a good question. Aside from Cisse and the odd spectacular goal from Cisse who else is going to chip in with some goals. Obviously I'd say HBA is a threat when he gets back too but we definitely need another option.

Stu Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 One good window will not make him a hero. If he starts to run it well for 2 years, then maybe I can start to give him credit. With the exception of last summer - where we didn't sign any 'duds' but didn't strengthen the first team enough (i.e. get Debuchy and a centre half in) - we've actually had a run of reasonable transfer windows under the current regime. Championship - signed a couple of players to strengthen our promotion charge (Simpson, Routledge, Williamson, Best) and a couple of loanees to cover injuries. Summer 2010 - kept the majority of the squad together while adding Tiote, Perch and Ben Arfa to improve the quality/size. Also brought in Campbell for 'experienced' CB cover... Jan 2011 - bit of a shocker in terms of keeping the fans happy, the Carroll sale was slated by a fair few (if only because there wasn't a replacement brought over the line) but PL safety was achieved and HBA was made a permanent deal. Summer 2011 - moved on the 'old guard' who had been the mainstays of relegation/promotion (Barton, Nolan, Enrique) and began the 'new look' NUFC with Cabaye, Ba, Marveaux, Santon, Obertan. Fleshed out the academy/reserve team with some 'promising' youngsters. Jan 2012 - added Cisse to 'replace' Carroll, kept the over-performing players at the club Summer 2012 - a few squad players/young players added but the first XI kept in place, presumably the manager opted for this over losing a 'purple' and being able to afford a couple of first-team ready players. Still didn't address the issue at CB which had been rumbling on since we returned to the PL; the overperformance of Williamson for some of 2011/12 and Saylor's absence seemed to have fooled the higher-uppers that we were adequately covered in that position. January 2013 - lost the top scorer due to a contract issue/not wanting to break the wage structure, facing a bizarre situation with the club captain (and best defender). Finally brought in a RB. Still 2 weeks left. People make out like we're shit at transfers or doing deals - never understood this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this, and Stu the problem has always been that we go "one for one". That if we buy one we sell one and that has made our squad so small with no competition. Purple players - ha.
