SUPERTOON Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Wasn't Rafa quoted as saying he on,y wants proven pre ire ship quality this window, which would rule out both Higan and Wilson. Think we need to sort out the midfield first anyway, absolutely no creativity for whichever striker we want to sign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 It's something I've never gotten like, the argument that basically every signing you make has to be some up and coming wonderkid or someone who instantly walks into your side and improves you ten-fold. You can be pretty certain that any signing we make now in their mid 20s and beyond is made for an actual reason. Ie Rafa has identified them as being necessary. Whether that's for the dressing room, as back-up, or to slot right in. We're not just randomly signing people for no apparent reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keggy_Keagal Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I think this may well be a case of an agent touting around his client as Scott Hogan has been heavily linked to West Ham and Reading in recent days . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Just about all of our signings this season have been made with one priority in mind and that's promotion. There'll probably be a complete overhaul if we go up. but Rafa won't care, his objective will have been achieved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seymour Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 We love to waste money mind What? You don't believe we've wasted money? When? And who cares? Well we've spent like 130m in the last 2 seasons Well I care, we aren't made of money man and unlike last season we don't necessarily have as many saleable assets Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Scott Hogan: I hope not. I must admit I haven't seen Hogan much at all but i'd still hope we'd be aiming for a bit higher level of quality than him and Wilson. How do you know his 'level of quality' if you haven't seen him?

Hanshithispantz Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 We have 1 chance to get out of this league if we don't want to lose Rafa and end up with more British cloggers for eternity. We can waste as much as we want as long as we go up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Hogan's been linked with West Ham as well. I don't think a striker is our priority unless Mitrovic is off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit I haven't seen Hogan much at all but i'd still hope we'd be aiming for a bit higher level of quality than him and Wilson. How do you know his 'level of quality' if you haven't seen him? I said I hadn't seen him much, not that I hadn't seen him at all and when I have, he's not stood out as someone who would come in and make a massive improvement to what we've got now. It's all well and good claiming that we 'need to build a squad' but we've already got Gayle, Mitro, Murphy, Perez and Armstrong, who's loan ends in January, who can all play the lone striker role that Rafa wants.

Bimpy474 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Strikers are kind of the last thing we need to worry about, ok if Gayle gets injured but i would have thought CM was the most pressing position to sort first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we've spent like 130m in the last 2 seasons Well I care, we aren't made of money man and unlike last season we don't necessarily have as many saleable assets There's so much money floating around the Premier League (way too much tbh) that it literally doesn't matter any more. But even ignoring that, after years and years of underinvestment in the management and squad and consistently selling our best players, I'm staggered that any NUFC fan gives a fuck about how much we spend and particularly about having 'saleable assets'.

You should still be prudent in how you spend your money, otherwise you'll get a reputation for just throwing money at players. Otherwise known as the freddy shepherd method of transfers.

Ofcourse it still matters man, how much money do you think Ashley is willing to invest? And I care about us having 'saleable assets' as that's a big reason we've able to invest heavily in the second division Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I don't want Ashley to invest anything and he doesn't need to. If our players are assets then we should be keeping them and getting the benefit. Can't believe we're still having this discussion after everything we've been through in the last decade.
