NUFC transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

Luke Edwards rated the chances of him signing at 8/10.

 

I suspect we probably are interested - at the right price. But equally I am sure he will just be using us to draw out bigger clubs.

When we finally get around to making a few signings I think enough idiots will be so grateful and excited that they will sign up for season tickets, the club know this and no doubt it's the plan

 

Similar to how enough people thought we spent loads last summer when it was pretty much the Cabaye/Debuchy money

Would Love having him and Sissoko together in midfield. Somehow I fear it's a Sissoko out and Wijnaldum in.

 

assuming we got the guy, and for some reason i think he's going to be our first major signing, i'm interested in how they see him, de jong and cabella all fitting into the team as all three are AM's

 

that doesn't even account for sissoko of course

 

wonder if mclaren will go for a version of 4-5-1 / 4-3-3 utilising only one actually striker because i suspect as ever that a major sticking point for us will be paying the money required to sign a decent forward...

not sure myself, who is going to pay top wedge for sissoko atm?  just not seeing it and cabella's value will have certainly only gone down after a year under our crack fucking coaching team :anguish:

 

sensible option is to keep both and hope mclaren gets a lot out of them (from the club's perspective) and it's why i suspect they'll aim for a system that can be based on having a heavy but mobile, goalscoring midfield with one up top

What kind of midfielder is this lad?

 

Mainly a central playmaker/attacking midfielder, can play on the right as well. Scored 14 goals last season.

 

Blatant Sissoko replacement then.

 

Can't wait til we see Toney in action like! (Doesn't Carr have links with Northampton, making this signing all the more likely?)

Confirm... :lol:

 

If we were serious about this signing there's no way we would be confirming it. So it looks like we are using the Mirror to send people on a wild goose chase while chasing other targets, probably of a cheaper and shiter nature.

Usually when the papers make stuff up, the club gets the lawyers to send out a few legal letters.  But they are happy enough to drop a few rumours out there to try and keep fans onside.

Is that Newcastle specific or for all clubs? Can't be true for all clubs surely?

Newcastle specific, we have had a recent policy of dampening rumours and threatening/banning papers where possible for reasons at a loss to most.

Seen this earlier on, what an absolute joke. The standard of North-East journalism is just f***ing hideous.

 

Until they informed me in the last paragraph, I had no idea what the Tweet said, or the fact that it was in English
