Guest neesy111 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Selling players isn't the issue, it was the fact the money the club generated wasn't being used along with the proceeds from transfers. All clubs buy and sell players including assets, a few clubs have done it more than us in recent years and are still competing. It was just the way we dangled them in public and sold them at the worst possible moments as a club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 We surely have already reached our quota of shite players from the provinces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Don't think we need Loftus-Cheek as well as Delph. A winger for one of them would be more useful IMO: http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/football/newcastle/14990923.Newcastle_targeting_three_Premier_League_players_ahead_of_transfer_window_reopening/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 If we get those two in then it pushes Colback further out of the picture. I'm all for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Both are quality. Yes please. Lofus-Cheek has all the attributes to be a 9 or 10. Rafa could really help the lad develop and fulfill his huge potential. That said, I really think Hayden has the potential to be a full international also and wouldn't want him benched (as long as he keeps performing). Sometimes you need to take a leap of faith and rely on young players in order to push them to the next level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Jordan Rhodes worth a look? Rafa said the other day he wants proven prem quality, or words,to that affect, not sure Rhodes comes into that category, however at this level it would surely be a no brainer.

STM Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Most of the names we have been linked with are decent. Wilson, Snodgrass, Loftus-Cheek, Delph. All good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seymour Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Would love to see a midfield partnership of Shelvey and Delph. Definitely, not sure how fit Delph is currently mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Where exactly does Loftus-Cheek play? I always see him referenced as an attacking CM, he's more of a #10? Or just an attack minded box to box type guy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Where exactly does Loftus-Cheek play? I always see him referenced as an attacking CM, he's more of a #10? Or just an attack minded box to box type guy? He's built like a defensive midfielder but lacks any of the basics you'd associate with such a role. He's not particularly attacking either, more of an all rounder that will tick over. For me personally you'd want some like Hayden and shelvey alongside him, then his passing and recovery of the ball isn't being relied on. TBH he's a confusing player but there certainly talent there. Closest I can currently think of is Jenas in a bigger body, and like jenas he really needs to define a role soon or risk becoming an all rounder never mastering a specific part of the game.

triggs Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Loftus Cheek has started 7 games in his career. Impossible to know if he's actually any good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Loftus-Cheek looked his best when he started being used as an attcking midfielder playing behind the striker. I think Rafa sees him as a stand in for Diame, while he is at the ACON. Athletic, tall attacking midfielder to play off Gayle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Loftus Cheek has started 7 games in his career. Impossible to know if he's actually any good Agree, certainly has a lot of potential though. With Delph you get the feeling City have probably killed him Rodwell style. Would prefer to avoid.
