Chicane Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I guess not signing anyone now at least means that if we get promoted there'll be more money to spend on better players in the summer......right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Typical NUFC to fuck up this window. All the meanwhile our promotion rivals have strengthened. Well fucking done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Better he walks now and we don't get promoted than being promoted and ending with Pards back here and the cycle starts again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 There is definitely enough quality in our squad to get promoted regardless and I'm not too worried if we don't sign anyone. The main issues being the Townsend deal was probably the difference between first and second and if anything was to happen to force Shelvey to miss an extended run of games then I can see us taking a tumble which might see us drop out of the automatic places. Slightly worrying but not the end of the world. The biggest worry for me is how this has affected Rafa and his plans and how he comes out of this, if he's alright with it all then no worries.

Karjala Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 What were people really expecting? Us to go and spend £15m each on 2 players? Our squad should have enough to get up, would rather we kept the cash for the summer ahead of the PL then spunk it on mediocre players again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 The 'Sissoko has left and we have £30m to spend' party still hasn't ended, to be fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 We haven't got enough though, have we? One injury to Shelvey or Gayle and we're fucked. We're also losing too many games in this league to 'guarantee' promotion. I don't know where the confidence has come from tbh. Deficiencies in the squad left over from the summer which still haven't been addressed. Again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy2Sheds Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I think even one player to strengthen would have appeased most fans. I think we're risking it, when everyone else is strengthening Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 We haven't got enough though, have we? One injury to Shelvey or Gayle and we're f***ed. We're also losing too many games in this league to 'guarantee' promotion. I don't know where the confidence has come from tbh. Deficiencies in the squad left over from the summer which still haven't been addressed. Again. Ritchie would be a bigger miss than Gayle imo. Murphy is a more than an able deputy for Gayle. Frustrating that we haven't gone out and got the two players who would have rubber stamped promotion with the chasing pack strengthening, but as we all know Ashley is a risk taker, amongst other things.

relámpago blanco Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 6 points clear of 3rd with a game in hand. Brighton will drop off as well. I love deadline day. We generally sign nowt but maybe Rafa will change that. I think someone will come in but it'll be a youngster on loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 If it stays like this, it's completely unforgivable from the board. Not strengthening is such a needless risk to take. And if it had Rafa consequences.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 We have a really difficult set of fixtures coming up were we basically play all the other top teams. We are an injury or suspension to Shelvey away from a massive struggle to create chances. Our home form is also still a concern and we needed improvements to the squad to overcome this.
