NUFC transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

I met Dyer as I was coming out of the cinema once, stopped to shake my hand, seemed to be willing to meet with supporters despite him just wanting a night out.

 

He may have been young and stupid, but I don't think he was ever malice.

 

I saw him do this at the Silverlink pictures when he played for us. He was wearing a "The Rock" t-shirt, happily signed stuff and shook hands with anyone who approached him. I cant remember if this was before or after Dyer v Bowyer though.

Aye, it was Silverlink where I met him, think he was a regular there, heard a few people who met him there. I think he was going to see 'Goal', I met him on the way out after seeing it.

Been told we've agreed a fee for Townsend who'll be off in January but if a London club comes in he'd rather stay down there. I guess it's easy enough to agree a fee. I'm not sure why we believe that's where we need to strengthen but it does suggest that Thauvin's days are probably numbered.

Useless wankers. They'll 'go English' now and buy all the shit that can't get games elsewhere for fees we shouldn't be paying. Townsend will do fuck all with us, if he even deigned to join us of course.

If it's ~£5 million, then fine. Unless we're selling someone, I don't think he's be tahat useful, though. He'd play the same positions as Thauvin who's barely getting a game as it is and still deserves a chance.

 

I'd rather us strengthen in other positions.

I find the faith in Sissoko as a CM hilarious. 3 managers have been here, he's started as CM..... has he ever? It's not going to happen.

 

Says more about the managers tbh, the fact his international manager has more faith in him as a CM says it all. Not to mention he was a CM before he came here.

Never seen him play in a midfield 2 for France. I've seen him on the right hand side of a midfield 3.... a shuttler... but not in a two.

Everything I've read and heard in the press has suggested it'd be a loan with a potential permanent deal in the summer.

TBF He may have thought he was doing his bit for charity.

Whatever happens at Spurs, McClaren could do with his squad being strengthened next month but he said he had still to discuss potential activity with Newcastle’s board. “We haven’t spoken about January, absolutely not,” he said. “Things are going on in the background but our sole focus has been results – one game at a time. We have four games before January and after that we’ll see where we are.”

 

:thup:

 

The two things aren't linked in any way, of course.

They were talking about it back in fucking September or October, but not now? Is that cause we won a game for a change or what? :lol:

Carr pretty much has the final say on who to go for, they have a bloke called Steve Nickson who is supposedly very good at identifying talent (Perez for example) however, it is Carr who is the go/ no go bloke. Carr has been a manager and a scout for a long long time; you therefore have to seriously question some of our summer transfers, especially the Thauvin deal. We know the model but the model also has to fit the team needs. Carr needs to get more criticism and you would be forgiven for asking what's in it for him.

We go round in circles with Carr and the 'failed' transfers and no one, either those who blame him or those who don't, really know the full extent of what goes on and just how highly he rates the players we end up buying. Nor, I suppose, how heavily weighted the 'potential' factor is these days, I suspect very personally.

 

I'm inclined to believe a lot of the issues will lie at Charnley's door because he seems like he's incapable of reconciling the reality of what's going on on the pitch with his balance sheets.  Sticking with Pardew and Carver prove this beyond doubt. 

 

Also it wasn't Carr who extended Colo's contract, supposedly against the wishes of the head coach who asked for an upgrade at CB, for example.

I'm told that Carr has more influence than Charnley, Colo's contract was extended due to inability to bring in another CB. I've no doubt that McClaren would love to bring his own players in but that's not the case.

 

You have to wonder what Agents do with all the money they receive from a transfer and where it all ends up. You have Agents agitating for moves where their own player doesn't want to move and where clubs don't actually need the player. Yet these transfers still happen.
