sempuki Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Spurs forums linking us with Lennon. BBC saying we are trying to swap Cisse plus cash for Austin. Latter deal too good to be true. I would be happy with that but nowt will happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 "Any news from St James' Park?" "Yes! It's looking increasingly unlikely that there will be any more signings for Newcastle" That's not news, that's the opposite of news, that's just saying the transfer window is nearly closed and f*** all is happening! Boring as fuck being a Newcastle fan on deadline day. When was the last time we signed someone on deadline day? Lovenkrands? Van Aanholt? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxfree Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Graeme Bailey Newcastle will be doing some (quite a few ) loans when that window re-opens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 A loan or two would have done me but it's feck all again. Happy with the four main signings but we are still light in several areas. Have to hope we avoid the usual injury and suspension plague which hits us every season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Shame we can't offload some of our dross like. Inevitable really as Williamson, Obertan and Gouffran are so shit. No one wants them, and for good reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shush Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Transfer window feels at best 70% of what it should have been. We have signed some cracking players, but we still have dross on our books. It's harsh, but we needed to do more and we had plenty of time to do it. What's the point in saying we want top 8 and we want to play attacking football if we do not strengthen the side enough to do that. Fact is players like Obertan, Williamson and Gouffran will find game time this year - they shouldn't find any as there should be better players here fighting for their places. Credit for the type of signings we have made, just not enough in and not enough dross out. Is it too harsh to think this and perhaps view the window as a failure?

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I'm pretty happy with it TBH, I would've wanted more but I expected a lot less. The signings we have brought in look very promising. Possibly because of reduced expectations TBF, can't deny that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Think they've bought themselves a bit of time without achieving much yet. It really needs to be followed up and maintained in the coming transfer windows for the squad to improve as much as it needs to. All we've done so far is go through the pile of cash that was sat there for absolutely no reason but I do like the look of the new lads and am pleased we haven't wasted the summer squabbling over fees and settling for 2nd best again.

I think we may have moved again if we had managed to peddle some of the dross; next summer the likes of Gouffran, Williamson, Elliot, Marveaux etc will be off the books and shite as they are, they'll need replacing.

number9shirt Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 It's been a great window for us, can't go signing 10 players at once it would just make things worse. We got high quality in, nice work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Bailey Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I'm pretty happy with it TBH, I would've wanted more but I expected a lot less. The signings we have brought in look very promising. Possibly because of reduced expectations TBF, can't deny that. Certainly the signings so far look of a good quality (harder to tell with Mitrovic, but he has had some nice touches and when he settles in I think he can be a hit). Disappointing things for me is some of the s**** that still stinks the place out, Elliot, Williamson, Obertan et al. Moving this s*** out and replacing with better in the next 2 windows is the next phase, if they do that I will say well done (will be better late than never mind). Plus we seem to do some very odd things with our young players... Don't get the Abeid or Kemen things at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
