Wallsendmag Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Expect a few more of these stories throughout the month claiming we've bid huge sums for players who've no interest in joining us so that come the end of the transfer window they can come out and say they did their best to sign a top quality forward but just couldn't get one over the line. A far more sensible strategy would be to sign Austin and get Remy in on loan, bring in a central midfielder and see what happens. Why you think Austin would want to come? Its not certain like.. Nothing's certain but we'd stand a better chance of getting him than Lacazette I know that much. As hopeless a club as we are these days we're still a better proposition than QPR.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 French reports suggest #nufc bid €25million for Lyon star Alexandre Lacazette but the player turned down the move - Lee Ryder It could be that Chelsea will offer us Remy if they get Lacazette as they are also reportedly interested. Problem is I don't think Remy will want to come here either. Maybe if Austin goes to Palace and no one else comes in. I think Remy would come on loan if he's not going to play at Chelsea. So many possible snags though, not sure we're even interested in loans like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll be getting pretty desperate considering we are in a relegation position and Cisse is out for the rest of the season effectively. Be pretty daft not to consider a loan unless we land Austin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_69 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/football/newcastle/14182970.Why_Mike_Ashley_s_transfer_policy_means_Newcastle_United_will_not_be_re_signing_Loic_Remy/? This article is saying that Ashley won't sanction loan deals unless there is the option to buy because it is wasted money. I think that is rather short-sighted - surely if there is an option to sign a good player on loan - maybe one who needs game time ahead of the Euros, it would potentially save the club millions in the long run. This club never seems to look at the bigger picture. So is getting relegated from the Premier League Ashley, you enormous dickhead Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Thing is I think that the money may well be available (likely a mediocre amount) but Charnley's desperation to please and look effective will result in the cost saving approach that's got him the gig in the first place.

mozy Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 The club's trasfer policy is so fucking flawed it makes me angry. Not angry in a sense of loving the club, but angry in the sense it's just so stupid and makes absolutely no business sense. Inside Charnley's head it must just be thousands of flies buzzing around his fucking pile of shit for a brain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charnley's just a gimp who's been put in charge of transfers despite having no football background. If it wasn't him it would probably be Joe Kinnear or some other drunk cast off from the 90's.

FustinoSolano Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 The scary yet unsurprising thing is we have been awful all this season and rightly find ourselves in the bottom three, so you would have thought any club in this situation would be working on identifying targets ready to come in early this month, if we wait another 3 weeks until the window closes we will find ourselves even further adrift of safety. It's as if they think that this manager and bunch of players are capable of getting us out of it! Staggering approach when you consider how much the club will lose if they are relegated.

Lush Vlad Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Our approach appear to be. Wait until the window is open, to pretend to get some deals done. It needs to be like the January window when we got Debuchy, Gouffran, Sissoko and I think Haidara? But with more quality/money spent this time.
