NUFC transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

"There’s always been a plan in place, always.

 

“Whether I was here or anybody else, there was a plan.

 

“I’ve seen that plan and probably adjusted it a little bit, but more or less stuck to the plan.

 

“We can all sit down and know what the plan is. It’s a good plan. You can’t keep everybody.

 

“I always say ‘we’re in here, and eventually we’ll go out of there’.

 

“But while we’re here, we’ll work damn hard for the football club.

 

“That’s the case with staff, players – everybody.”

Interesting comments. Suggests planning to sell certain players to buy perhaps?

It's not quite "the clause is there" levels of defeatism, but frustrating to read nonetheless.

Only player I'd be bothered about losing is Janmaat, and it doesn't seem like he's going anywhere just yet. Sissoko would be a bit of a blow, but I've resigned myself to him going for quite some time now, and I don't think he'd get in my preferred XI anyway. Obviously we need a squad and I'd rather get rid of a couple of our shit midfielders instead of him like.

If it's true about wanting the signings in prior to letting anyone go that would suggest one of Sissoko, Cisse perhaps tiote out?  Think the likes of Abeid, Marv will be shifted, perhaps one or two more away on loan.

 

Really hope they don't put a dampener on what may well be a decent window with an 11th hour sale of Sissoko for instance.

Perez?  Not that he looks like going anywhere.  But he's the player I'd least like to lose.

With Mike Williamson expected to leave Tyneside this summer, and doubts over the future of Fabricio Coloccini as Steve McClaren ponders whether to strip the Argentinian of the captain’s armband, the Magpies are determined to sign a proven centre-half this summer.

 

NEWCASTLE will make Schalke centre-half Joel Matip their leading defensive target this summer after accepting they will struggle to pull off a deal for Monaco’s Aymen Abdennour.

Joao Carlos Teixeira from Liverpool in the Sun. Looked class for Brighton last season.

 

Was really good in their game against the Thai All Stars. Two assists. Seems quick and clever, with a good pass and dead ball on him. Another rather attacking midfielder though.

Out it on here instead of twitter thread but not sure if he is a real football writer....

Emanuele Giulianelli ‏@EmaGiulianelli

Searching an agreement with Sevilla that asked €13mln to Newcastle for Banega. Offered 4 years at €3mln/y to the player.

Another centre midfielder. So glad we don't need Strikers or Central Defenders or Wingers. Midfield is where it's at.

Unless someone is out of the door.

After watching the game yesterday maybe I am not so surprised we continue to look for midfielders.

 

Yes, we have many, but they are not really that great tbh. Looks like the whole thing might be rebuilt.

 

Colback and Anita look like being part of the reserve unit if we are bringing in another one, and I'm very cool with that.

 

Cathro will know Banega well too, if this is true.
