mrmojorisin75 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Aye, David Prutton. But I don't remember Jenas the same, £5m was a lot to pay for an 18 year old with less than 30 appearances under his belt in that case. It was a totally out of the blue transfer, no one expected it and it certainly wasn't talked about in advance. He was the exact opposite of this kid Hughes at Derby really.

A fortnight ago Newcastle had a £4m offer for the 18-year-old midfielder rejected by Forest, who have serious financial problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 We need tall players, a captain, a vice captain and less of these tippy-tappy players that teams are easily dealing with. The transfer policy must also come under scrutiny now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 TOON FEAR INGS REJECTION Newcastle United fear long-term target Danny Ings will snub them in favour of a move to a 'bigger' Premier League club, report the Chronicle. The 22-year-old Burnley striker has been heavily linked with a move to St James' Park, but Manchester United and Liverpool are also thought to be interested in the England U21 frontman. David Moyes' Real Sociedad have also expressed an interest in Ings, but Burnley are thought to prefer a move to an English club in order to claim compensation from an enforced sale.

Mole_Toonfan Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Even if he does stay in England i'm pretty damn certain if not bigger clubs will be in for him, then more ambitious clubs with more willingness to spend will be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 He could probably go to a top 4 club purely based upon the fact he's English. Then spend the next 4 years making huge amounts of money and playing 0 games of football. It's just what you dream of as a lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Unfortunately the new TV deal pushed up his wages to beyond what we could afford as a financially prudent club. It'd have been irresponsible for us to push this over the line with light of what has happened to clubs previously. Magic weekend tickets are still on sale from the box office.

Wallace Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I think they may have a harder time attracting those players who want to use us as a platform to prove themselves before moving on to bigger clubs. To do that you need a decent team to play in not one that is going to constantly struggle against relegation. We had a good reputation when Cabaye was here because of his success - I think that is in tatters now and that has been the club's own doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the players we get are under the radar of most Premier League clubs or are deemed not good enough for the top 4 to take a risk on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just have to look at the likes of Remy, Bony, Gomis, to see there's a few we probably thought we'd get easily, only to go to clubs around or beneath us as well.
