When was the last time we had decent enough cover across the whole squad? :lol:

 

How many clubs can ever really say that though? Honest question.

 

I'm saying decent cover, look at the likes of Stoke and West Brom their squads are much deeper in terms of quality and if we can't compete with them in terms of squad size then we really have major issues as a club.

I don't think Stoke or West Brom's squad are any better than ours really, we just don't know how bad their reserves are. The drop in quality might be less, because the first team is worse.

 

Well they have more than 3 CB's and 2 CF's for starters in their 1st team squad.

We have a squad of 49, West Brom 40, Stoke just 36.

 

Ok that's just in terms of numbers, but while I may be underestimating how good some of their players might be, looking through the lists I'm still really struggling to see this  'much deeper in terms of quality' claim. ???

Well we know those two positions are our weaknesses.

 

I'm sure most WBA and Stoke fans are having the same discussions as us, and also that they would swap the majority of their players for ours.

You've just counted the last squad number ffs.  That would mean some teams have 99 as some players carry those numbers. :lol:

This bit in the Journal seems to be a pretty good assessment of where we are at...

 

The latest round of discussions seemed to suggest that the clubs remain apart on a valuation, while Rémy’s representatives play their cards close to their chest.

 

Interest from Germany has been widely touted and The Journal understands an agent has been given a mandate to find the player a Bundesliga move. But Rémy himself seems to favour joining Newcastle’s French legion. One of Newcastle’s alternatives is to move for St Etienne’s highly-rated Gabon striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who is less experienced than Rémy so represents less of a battle-ready solution.

 

No move for Rémy is likely before Saturday, while Marseille continue to play down talk that he will be leaving in this window.

As I said a couple of days ago we aren't offering anywhere near 11m and now everybody is wasting each others time. On top of that it seems there was never a come and get me type scenario reg this player who has been in and out of the team and probably using the move as a bargaining chip. The giveaway is that if WE WERE SERIOUS this would have all been hammered out before the window opened.

/Still got the same or bigger squad than both of them mind. And still struggling to see the extra quality.

You said we had a squad of 49.  We don't.

 

The only department we are healthy in is midfield.  Both Stoke and West Brom have players that can come in after they get 2 injuries or more, we simply don't.

Its not the squad numbers that are the problem we have a big enough squad the problem is quality.

 

Sell all our deadwood for EL level players matter about CL level and no one would complain about the squad.

 

That's what I'm pointing out.

His agent has been told to find him a move to Germany, even though he wants to move to Newcastle?

 

It's obviously the fee which is the sticking point. Again.

 

 

 

How do you know that?

What doesn't? That he isn't overly keen on the move?

You've lost me.

 

The fact is, it's all speculation at this point. There are far too many conflicting reports. However, you've managed to pick the one scenario that hasn't been widely reported. :lol:

I don't know what's been reported and what hasn't tbh, I was just going off Ian's quote that his agent has been told to look for clubs in Germany despite the player wanting to come here. If he would prefer to come here, the only reason I can think of that he won't is because we won't agree a fee.
