KaKa Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Much rather we spent that £28m on Austin and a CB. Cough up the £15m QPR wanted, and there's £13m for a quality CB. Instead we get another midfielder to add to the 12+ we already have and an unproven striker who seems like a right t*** Love how there's always something to complain about You guys really need to be more upbeat.

Besides if we are to believe the report, there's more than 30m left to find a CB and whatever else. I don't personally believe a word of it but if you believe the 28m part then you believe the 60m part Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it more as an observation than a complaint I feel you man Those are two really talented players of a pretty high calibre so pretty happy tbh if true. The CB will come along soon also I hope. Really like the look of Matip, so would be chuffed with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 If thats true I would be impressed but I cant see it. This isn't a dig at you personally, but it's really depressing to see what we've been reduced to. It takes one thing and one thing only to sign football players, money. We've got fucking loads of it. I remember when making signings was the bit we took for granted and we waited to be 'impressed' at the weekend by the way the team played. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when making signings was the bit we took for granted and we waited to be 'impressed' at the weekend by the way the team played. Thats how I feel. You never know we might sign them but theres no point getting excited as more than likely well be let down. I used to love transfer windows but Im not arsed anymore, not arsed about much to do with NUFC to be honest. I would get excites if we spent 60 million quid but I doubt itll happen.

TRon Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I doubt any club would pay what we want for Sissoko tbh, especially considering how poor he was this season overall. They might not pay what we want but we'll get decent money for him. He's probably a lot higher regarded outside of Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 How many do we need to sign just to have parity with last season? We've lost seven players since we last signed one (Ben Arfa, Yanga-Mbiwa, Santon, Jonas, Alnwick, R.Taylor & Sammy Ameobi). I'd say only HBA, Mbiwa & Santon going hurts though, and pretty sure Cabella was Ben Arfa's replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 As much as De Jong and Cabella share some skillsets which Cabaye has we never really replaced Cabaye either and Remy obviously. So basically you are looking at Cabaye, Ben Arfa, MYM, Remy and Santon and none of them have been replaced properly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 The emergence of Paul Dummett as a steady and versatile option in the back line makes me think we can get away with just 1 new CB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest antz1uk Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 any ideas how much it would cost for Shawcross? not that he'd want to come here like, but that's what we need, an already established good defender that can slot straight in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Teams aren't selling low, he's English, he's good and we desperately need a centre-back. He'd go for around £15m I'd imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way in hell he'd leave his captaincy and Stoke, a club exhibiting far more ambition than Newcastle at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
