Newcastle United transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

Gibbs £12m to West Brom according to Jim White

 

Now this is completely unacceptable.

 

That is a transfer we absolutely have to be all over. Arsenal are always so reasonable with their prices man. For goodness sake.

 

Why on earth he would go to cruddy West Brom is beyond me. We all know by September Pulis will be playing centre backs at full back as he has always done.

How the f*** can you justify a £25m price tag for someone who clearly isn't first choice, having played 12 games last season. Bloody mental.

 

Because he's under contract, they can justify what ever they like.

 

They can ask, even demand, whatever they like for a contracted player but justify it ?

 

Surely it's the team spending it that need to justify it.

I wouldnt walk just because im struggling to sign average underrated players for 25m. Its a joke, I dont see the point in signing players for the sake of it. Obviously we need players, but if you get priced out of the market you just dig in together and do what other sides have had to do before us, Burnley, Bournemouth, Leicester. Think we need to move away from the english market its ridiculous. PSV managed to land Hirving Lozano for 8m beating off competition.

McCarthy for £25m(not that he'll go for that) is worse value than Sissoko for £30m

 

Is he not that good then? Never really took much notice of him, just wondering why we seem to be pursuing him for a while now.

Yup, surprised we haven't had more links with the Spain and beyond under Rafa.

 

I know the vast majority of links are the press making shit up, but was hoping he'd be using his contacts with Real etc. to get us some quality possibly overlooked by the rest of the league. As it stands, our buys have been underwhelming, and the players we've been linked with have been equally uninspiring or just Prem kids on loan. It's ummm, all a bit weird.

Ok so CM, GK, Striker all in the exact same priority.

 

Would you not go LB over striker? I think Gayle will do better up front than Dummett at left back.

Strikers are more important though

Good question Nut, my take is we're betting a ton on Gayle to do the business as our lead man in the step-up to the PL (currently) and keep fit. If he's out we're left with Mitro, Murphy and Perez. So my hope would be to add a good striker in as we'll need goals no matter what.

 

While I'd rather we sign a LB who could help on both ends of the pitch, Dummett as a pure defender isn't the worst thing in the world. I'd love if someone came in who could push to be the starter there but I'd much rather we sign a Striker over a LB at this point.
