afar Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Callum McManaman mentioned this morning. Don't like the individual, also don't rate his ability and think he's not someone that would strengthen us in the PL. Bad move all round. As for Mitro, I wouldn't blame him for wanting a move, he's just not getting the game time with us and probably never will under Rafa. That's no disrespect to either party, just Rafa prefers a one forward set up and his forward he prefers is a much different type to Mitro. Will be sad to see him go but probably better for both parties assuming we have someone lined up to replace him in the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Read on twitter that we are being linked with Fabian Delph by the press in Manchester http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-city-news-delph-newcastle-12338407 Good player yes please.

Hughesy Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Based on nothing more than youtube highlights and reading about him, I'd love to see us make a statement and go out and get a highly rated winger like Leon Bailey at Genk. Been linked to bigger clubs than us and would set us back quite a lot, but one can dream.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Bailey's the cream of the crop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy Chibas Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 We should be looking at players who can improve us once we're in the PL if we go into the market in January. Financially we're in a healthy position and I would have thought we'd be a more attractive proposition for potential signings than a current bottom 8 PL club with the exception of maybe Leicester. Assuming Shelvey gets a ban and Diame is away at the ACON it's clear where we need to be looking at strengthening. Provided Rafa stays and Ashley continues to support him, we will be a FAR more attractive proposition than all PL clubs bar the Top 6....stability will be the key, but if top players are sure that this will continue they will want to play for both NUFC and Rafa..he has won more than any current PL manager and we are capable of filling a 75,000 stadium if we start doing well. Remember how we signed really good players under KK when we had just escaped from relegation to the Third div 2 years previously... we can do that again but ONLY if we show ambition and continuity...we would blow the likes of Leicester and Southamptom away quite frankly. If we have the Sissoko moneyand Rafa as the draw, it wouldn't be deluded to try for someone like Morgan Schneiderlin, who would seem a good foil for Shelvey and a great screen if there is a good chance of Lascelles/Clark being kept next season. Maybe paper talk, but he's being linked with West Brom and Everton. They're fine clubs, but aren't exactly a ticket to Europe or the French national side. When we were in the PL, we had the 8th? highest revenue. We wouldn't be the typical just-promoted club. Which is sweet fuck-all to be honest, given that Spurs (or any potential 3rd party, if he is sold on) are paying the fee in installments over 5 years. The 'Sissoko Money' due to the structure of the deal doesn't provide Rafa with massive punching power in the market at all this Summer - pisstake of a deal, and the fee accrued from the sale doesn't exactly represent a grand pot of gold waiting for Rafa at the end of the rainbow (promotion).

Altamullan Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 From the little I have seen, and from his playing stats and style, can't see this happening. Seems similar in style to Mitro, and not an improvement. Surely if Mitro is offski, then it will be primarily because Rafa doesn't want that style of forward? Unless he does want the option of that kind of forward and doesn't rate Mitro, or I guess young Alek may not be prepared to play second fiddle.

Tubestationatmidnight Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 He isn't mobile either. Rafa likes his lone striker to be mobile. Gestede is a big unit like mitrovic but lean and mobile with it unlike mitrovic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest palnese Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Already got one fairly slow winger in Ritchie. Don't need another one imo. Playing in the same position as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Already got one fairly slow winger in Ritchie. Don't need another one imo. Playing in the same position as well. Agree with this, I like Snodgrass but signing him would mean we'd have 3 left footed players whose best position is on the right wing and we really need a left winger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Aye, I've always like him though. Ran himself into the ground against us too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or how about play one on the left wing in place of gouffran. Bit of an upgrade. Comes across as a cunt but he would be a great signing and we must be the best option he would have Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Mitro has been wank this season, so it's not like he'd be a miss. I can see us selling him for 15 mil and bringing in someone like Gestede for a lot less than that as a stop gap until the end of the season. Murphy has got fuck all to do with any of it, he was signed as a second target man and will probably remain that. He'll never kick a ball for us in the Prem.
