Mole_Toonfan Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Tomorrow's Journal says "Quality not quantity the target for NUFC". Pardew's been on about "strength in depth" for about a month. No coherence, no plan, no way forward. We only need 3 quality players for said strength in depth tbf, 2 strikers and a winger should cut it if no one major leaves.

Agreed but I don't think two players in is what Pardew meant. Our squad is definately big enough for next season. Need a few out and one striker in if nobody leaves. Perhaps a winger as well.

Dave Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 First line of the article is 'Newcastle United's summer recruitment drive is likely to be limited to a striker and a central defender as the club takes a conscious decision to add quality rather than quantity this close season.'.

toontownman Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Need a minimum of four players. Two Strikers (1 out and out, 1 able to cover the flanks) 1 Winger (possibly someone that can play central too), 1 CB Thats with having Alnwick replace Harper and no departures. Realistically we need at least 5 in. As to his depth comments, that shouldn't be a surprise given this time last year (or was it even the year before?) he was banging on about how a tall, physical, goal scoring central defender was our main priority. Never happened. He will get what Graham Carr suggests and Derek allows him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Also says we've not made any offers for players in or out of contract, that the club believe January has given us the strength in depth we needed earlier in season and that a striker is the top priority.

Yep, Aaron Hughes was a good utility player not anything more. Thats harsh on Perch imo, he shouldn't be starting but he gives us his all and has had more good games than bad, including a plethora of important blocks inside our box. The his worst games have come this season with equally terrible performances if not worse surrounding him, easy scapegoat when "better" players get off lighter.

Gallowgate Toon Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 We need a bloody decent winger in above anything else, it's a gaping first team position. Then a striker, then another winger for the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
