TRon Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Very hard to keep players now if they want to leave - it happens but 9 times out of 10 they are usually sold. When clubs like West Brom can keep hold of contract running down cunts like Berahino I wouldn't be so sure of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Still think it's too early to be judging people, especially Rafa but I am worried about confidence. Remember last season, it took time for the confidence to come and Benitez mentioned it as an issue after almost every game. We've now got loads of new players, most of which never played regularly in front of fans like ours, and the added dynamic of us being strong favourites for the title. Benitez himself has only been in charge of the club for a dozen competitive games. It's going to take a while to find a rhythm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benitez will get it right, but he'll need some more options in this squad. Lacking in pace and goals at the moment. Ashley needs to make sure he gets whoever he wants one way or another. It's not like we're short of cash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely feels like we've bulked out our squad with squad players for sure we need some real first team options to make a difference. Without the right players were always going to be short in areas and lop-sided. Trouble is this has been a pattern for far too long at NUFC and it needs to change. Just give him the money and let him get on with it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knockaert and the lad from Shef Wednesday are our reported targets but they don't want to sell. We might just have to blow them out of the water with an offer they can't refuse. Everyone has their price and we can afford to pay it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 We need a bully of a striker to play next to Gayle / Perez or with Mitrovic. We need a LW to provide similar quality that Ritchie plays with on our right and someone who Aarons can rotate in with. We need a CM to play with Diame, and that means placing Hayden, Shelvey etc on the bench. We need a LB who offers us something going forward. We need to keep Sissoko until January and play him wherever we can because we need him more right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Toon Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Saivet linked with St. Etienne for a seasons loan with an obligation to buy. They would pay half his salary. Would Gibbs consider dropping down a division? Doesn't get to start for Arsenal anymore, only 26 and a serious upgrade on our hopeless options.
