Guest TyneBridge Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Have heard from a 50/50 reliable source that the Debuchy transfer will be the only incoming transfer of the window, which makes sense that it wasn't completed until the Demba money was in the bank. And also that one more outgoing is expected. If true we're as good as down IMO, 1 in 2 out, great sense that. I'd find that crazy to accept, surely given our form and position come January that selling Ba and bringing in Debuchy will never help save our season from the threat of relegation. We must sign a quality centre back and striker else we risk going down again. Pardew can't be trusted to get us out of it without support and I don't trust our best XI to stay fit and do enough to get us the points as things are. we would all find it crazy.........doesn't mean it won't happen mate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Even Pardew has said we need signings and said the board has been supportive over transfers. I'd be shocked if they don't intend to sign more players. It's whether they can pull it off or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I have any hope we will sign anyone else Debuchy was 'officially' signed 2 days after we could register players and the Flickr pictures were taken the day before. We would have been hard pushed to get the deal through any sooner tbh Ba deal or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Flash Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I won't be surprised at all if we were finished our business now. We don't look to be selling anyone of value so don't get your hopes up, broheims. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd sink like a fucking stone if this were to happen. Morale would dissipate faster than Ashley's wallet at a whip round for drinks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRL Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 All seems rather dramatic to me. I'll wager any one of the doom mongers on here £50 to the SBR foundation we spend several million pounds on a striker this window. For all Ashley's PR disasters we have had 3 successful seasons on the pitch on the trot (defined in the respect that we would taken the outcome had we been offered it before a ball had been kicked on each occasion). This season has gone tits up but there is plenty still to play for, our squad has players coming back and the fixture list is looking kinder. Ashley knows the only way we maintain any value is by maintaining our PL status ahead of the new tv deal and by keeping the gates where they are now. He spent more than most in jan in the championship and again last year. The only time we have been net sellers in jan was the relegation year which would have burned him and the sale of Andy Carroll which was absolutely an exception that he rightly couldn't resist. I dislike him as much as the next fan but my read is that since his initial series of clusterfucks he has irritatingly got things right more often than wrong. I don't think this is entirely down to luck, although admittedly some huge slices fell our way prior to this season. So, money where mouth is, £50 to SBR foundation if you think we won't get a striker this January. Happy to take bet from up to 5 people so will lay £250 that we do. Lets see if you naysayers really believe your negative hype Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ItalianMagpie Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Have heard from a 50/50 reliable source Lad who told me has got things right and things wrong in the past, perhaps I didn't phrase that too well. Well I am a 50/50 reliable source as well: if I take a stab in the dark with no information whatsoever that's the probability I'll guess it right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Flash Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 The ST renewal forms get sent out in February so it's possible that Ash-o might do what he did in the last 2 January windows and sign an assuaging player. Assuming Debuchy isn't it, of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I do think we will replace Ba, we usually do replace a purple for another purple. On top of all that Ashley can't risk his investment by us going down and as a Jack pointed out with ST renewals he will likely want to try and entice people to renew. He's done it before and will probably do it again, my concern is that he ignores the CB issue for the umpteenth time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you can't say that every time we clearly needed some players Ashley took out his wallet. I'm kind of used to read about endless negotiations that inevitably lead to nothing, even when literally everybody knew we desperately needed some signings.

Parky Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I was of the impression we had talks with him more than a week ago. Either the deal is done or it won't happen. The longer it drags the less chance he's coming sad to say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 If he wants money then surely he will want to stay up? Get relegated and he loses millions that makes no sense i would agree otherwise but the massive increase in tv money means he will want to stay up. Going down just makes no sense even on a financial level, this isn't the same as when we went down last time. This time next season teams will be getting 50m for finishing bottom we go down and he loses a slice of that pie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
