After Arsenal there are 9 points and a place in the fourth round of the FA Cup up for grabs in January.

 

Wonder how many we'll toss away before we make any meaningful changes to the squad.

 

From the BBC interview with McClaren:

 

Q. It is of course only the second of January, is there anything imminent that you need to tell us?

A. Absolutely not, no! It's only the first day in and there are a few weeks to go, we're doing our business nice and quietly behind the scenes. If anything happens I suppose you'll be the last to know.

 

Sky interview:

 

Q. The window's obviously open, do you have money to bring a bit more quality into the squad?

A. That's something that during January we'll be discussing, obviously in private.

 

(Then the same gag about them being the last to know).

1. CF

2. CM

3. CB

4. LB

 

f***ing hell.

Yep, but I would prioritise in this order: CB,CF,CM,LB. Can't help thinking I'm in LA-LA land for continuing with this trian of thought as if it were a serious option, but I suspect with the contractual status of CBs, and visibility of our frailities (though not so much in last couple of matches) this would be the strongest probability. Who though? Fuck knows. Gutted at time, and not changed my mind, re Van Dijk; agree re common take on Shawcross, but don't know enough to spot more available play-alike-ees. At CF, Austin seems a safe bet, enough self-belief to be confident he can continue on the big stage, enough of a track record to make this seem plausible/rather than delusional. I would be delighted to tempt Shelvey from Swans; not arsed what some of their fans say, he has all the attributes to be sensational. He needs to have a team built around him, his ego stroked, and he can give us the drive, steel,  and range of passing to make the most of our other decent midfielders. The Russian guy (who looks like Shane MacGowan...Dzagev?) seems like a Cabaye-mould player; which, as for most, is a major compliment. Would, on this Dennis (not at all) Wise, basis settle for him instead. Suspect we have enough cover at LB (Haidara, Mbabu, Colback & Dummet) to let this be for now. However, personally I would love to see Enrique play there (apparently available) with Janmaat on other side.

With the January window now officially open, the rumour mill is well and truly in full swing.

 

A report by Luke Edwards of the Telegraph has emerged, and it lists Newcastle’s main January targets, as well as the players that may leave the club this month.

 

It is believed that stubborn owner Mike Ashley has provided the club with £15m to spend, and that he wants several unwanted players to be sold before any reinforcements are brought in.

 

The Telegraph say that the Magpies are targeting a number of British players, such as Charlie Austin, Andros Townsend and Patrick Bamford.

 

Experienced Hull City captain Michael Dawson could also be on his way to Tyneside, in what would be shock move considering United’s transfer policy.

 

It is also stated by Edwards that Moussa Sissoko could leave for a Champions League club, and also that Ayoze Perez is attracting interest from all across England.

 

The likes of Mike Williamson, Yoan Gouffran and Sylvain Marveaux are all deemed surplus to requirements at the club.

 

Newcastle currently sit in a dangerous 18th position, with the gap between them and survival increasing each week that goes by.

 

If the Toon are to maintain their Premier League status, then they’ll need to spend serious money in this window.

Carrying out a squad overhaul in January when you sit on 17 pts and half the season completed.  This overhaul is next summers moves brought forward.

 

When will Fatman learn anything.

If we let Ayoze and Sissoko go for those then we're as good as down.

Why haven't we signed a goalkeeper on loan?  Rumour was that since Krul was injured on international duty the Dutch FA would pick up the tab for a replacement, if that's true then not having someone in place to join on day 1 of the transfer window is rank incompetence.  Even if they're not picking up the tab, not arranging for a backup keeper to come in on loan on day 1 of the transfer window is rank incompetence.

Elliot being much better than anticipated has killed that off.

Why? Elliot is playing well and we have probably at least 5 positions who are more important to stenghten than a new keeper.
