Newcastle United transfer rumours in the press

[Varadi]

Not buying McCormack because of his age is exactly the kind of thing that has seen us relegated in the first place.

 

Not really,no evidence of that. All this prolific crap in the championship means nothing. You could argue Shola was prolific in the championship, when we were down there wasn't it a three horse race who would finish top scorer for us? Between Carroll Nolan and Shola, Shola played the least games through injury so who knows if he would have out scored the other two. It was Nolan in the end who scored the most.

We will walk the division if we keep 60% of the team we have now.

I would love McCormack to sign if it was 3-4m but the reports of a 30yr old at 10-12 are stupid.

 

Not if his goals take us back up straight away, which they probably would

 

Especially if you consider there would also probably be a queue of other Championship teams willing to give us a good chunk of that money back.

Ideally I'd like someone who is cast iron to score goals in the championship but useful enough to be a squad member post (assumed) promotion. I wonder if the lure of Rafa could get us a Deeney or similar

[triggs]

Players who start every week in the Premier League aren't going to go to us in the Championship

That's pretty short sighted in my view. Sommat special brewing under Rafa

Did his goals take Fulham up then?

[joeyt]

He was 2nd top goalscorer overall in the league with 21 goals in a really terrible team. He's an excellent Championship player

If he's contracted some arm disease we should definitely let him go.

LOL

 

I'd take a guaranteed Championship goalscorer

[Guest antz1uk]

crouch? if his legs haven't fallen off yet, wouldn't mind a bit of Clancy she can replace thauvin's bird

[Stal]

I really don't want crouch here, id find it too hard to cheer for him. Reasons etc

[Tubestationatmidnight]

Ings and gayle would be some partnership but I know it's unlikely they would come. Would score a load each in the championship!

[NG32]

Crouch?  :lol:

 

We already have a none moving forward in Mitro.  Keep mitro. 

[Mole_Toonfan]

Their record in the PL is hardly great, yet you seem convinced they'd score loads in the championship yet for the same reason you think Mitrovic and Perez won't score because of their PL record. ( Armstrong too as the difference between League 1 and Championship isn't that big)

 

I wonder why that is.

Ings scored 20 in 40 in the Championship when Burnley came up last time.

He also managed 11 goals in the PL for a side which only managed 28 all season and finished 18th. Ings is a good player; he'd doubtless be a massive success in the Championship but he's PL quality and will have a number of PL suitors to choose from I would've thought.

Ayoze for £15m. They can both feck off.

[Chris Banaloona]

I'd snap there hands off. He's fucking overrated.

[sbnufc]

Everton dont even have a manager? that's obviously BS

[xLiaaamx]

I said Wells previously, but I'd really like Vydra if avaliable

[afar]

I'm still to be convinced we need another striker, despite the ronny gill's clamour for it. Shola, a young Carrol, Harewood (briefly), Lovenkrands an a non scoring Leon Best,  were our attacking options last time and we did perfectly well. We have right now Mitrovic, Perez, Armstrong, Tony, Riviere and Cisse, in a system which will only probably feature one forward. If Cisse and/or Mitrovic were to leave then yes we do need to replace but honestly don't think we are bad off in the striking department for the level we'll be playing at next year. Want to see what we have in Mitro, Perez and Armstrong too, bringing in a veteran (who may not be any better than what we have) may stall their development. 

 

Maybe though the bean collectors feel that they can't take a chance on what we have and feel we need the "proven" Championship player, perhaps that's the sensible approach but I was hoping that something good to come out of this relegation was the chance to develop those youngsters that have been on the fringes, it certainly helped Carroll the last time we went down.
