timeEd32 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Standing between us and the type of transfer window we all thought was impossible under this ownership is the need for a club to spend real money on Mike Williamson. We're fucked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I can't imagine he'd be on a massive wage so if we cant get shot of him surely we can afford to pay his wages as well as any new defenders wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 That article is guess work from start to finish. The jist of it is basically "Newcastle obviously don't want Williamson, so maybe they won't buy Abdennour until he's sold?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprising if this is the case but a guaranteed bottom half of the table and relegation fight with that defence - just don't understand how supposed professional footballing people can't see that these players concede by the bucketful and then do nothing about - totally crazy and stinks of amateur running f the team from all levels and it's so easy to see which makes the decision even more bewildering.

sempuki Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I think McClaren is a bit like Hughton was in that he is cagey with what he gives the press. He didn't sound confident about getting more last week and hey ho we sign Thauvin. Still might be a chance I would say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Players like Aarons, Perez and De Jong on the bench and we still start with players like Colo, Haidara and Colback :lol: I'm happy with the signings made i must say, but not at the cost of a shit defence as we haven't solved these positions... A shitty defence will mean that our attacking players wont be able to perform to their best (attacking as a team in general) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shitty defence will mean that our attacking players wont be able to perform to their best (attacking as a team in general) That almost sounds like you are advocating playing Aarons, De Jong or Perez at centre half, left back or as a holding midfileder.

Ikon Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 The lack of signings for our defence makes it hard to be excited about our other signings, which i think have been good. Once again not doing enough, which is disappointing but not very unexpected tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yaron Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 With all the 50M spent. the squad had to have an overhaul. the deadwood is still here and i fear the 4 new signings won't be enough.its no relgation squad,but not a 8th place squad.another medicore 11-14 season imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
