Yorkie Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 That's one of the things that keep me, not optimistic, but not panicing eather.. The club doesn't talk to press, so IF something actually is on - they wouldn't say. A very small part of me is predicting a string of announcements in early July to encourage a huge wave of ST sales. Monday - assistant manager, Tuesday - rest of the staff, Wednesday - this signing, Thursday - that signing, Friday - the sheep return. Probably unlikely but we are going to sign players at some point. Might as well milk it for all they can especially given the murmurs of poor sales.

Guest Alexinho Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Players will be signed for sure! The quality of them on the other hand... But not even Newcastle can do nothing, almost relegated last year... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Unfortunately the list of players who have signed for NUFC recently and seen their International careers suffer drastically must be putting a lot of potential players off with the Euros coming up. Krul, Anita, Cabella, MYM, HBA, Cisse, Tiote, Colo, all used to regularly start for their countries, most of them don't even make the squads now. We are a graveyard for players with International aspirations, no wonder a lot of players are apparently thinking twice about joining us, or in the case of some of the above, want to leave or already have done so.

Optimistic Nut Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 On the other hand, Cabaye established himself as a first-choice starter, Debuchy was a regular, Jonas got a World Cup call-up while in the Championship, Janmaat still gets picked, Sissoko features, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Toon Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Krul, Anita, Cabella, HBA and Mbiwa and were not starting regularly, at all. They might not have been starting regularly but they all looked like they were going places and were all highly rated in their own countries. Krul has not developed at all as a keeper, he's worse now than he was two or three years ago and his international career is suffering. Anita had 3 caps before he joined us none since. MYM was capped before he joined us and after he left, not during, no surprise there. HBA already had 8 caps before he joined us. Santon had 6 now he's probably off to Watford. Cabella now doesn't make the squad. What's happened to the above and to a lesser extent Cisse and Tiote who are no longer automatic starters for their countries is not necessarily the fault of the players but it's certainly the fault of idiots like Pardew and Carver. Cabaye and Debuchy certainly used us as a stepping stone and it worked for both of them, but more recently as things got worse at the club this is no longer happening. So if we are no longer a stepping stone to a big club, don't pay high wages compared with many of our immediate rivals, don't appear to have any ambition above making money, why would good players come to us? It appears many don't. I hope I'm wrong as the current squad we have will get us relegated next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Need Cabaye back to "sell" the club to those they want to sign. He was always cited as a major influence in persuading others to sign during that period. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I'd be happy with him if he was one of two coming in, pushing Coloccini down to third choice and Lascelles fourth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Vlaar is a bit of a leader as well though isn't he? Could definitely do with a bit of that at the back. Doesn't address the glaring issue of lack of pace mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Vlaar would be a good signing as long as he's one of two to come in at CB. Disappointed we haven't gone for Mings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
