Newcastle United transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

Jovetic is class but during the Man City era he failed to adapt to EPL and thus flopped back to Series A.  I hope this gamble pays off.

 

Didn't he get injured straight away?

Not really, I think we really want to sign him due to following reasons:

 

1.  We are able to clear out Rivière and de Jong and that should allow us to sign one more 1xM range player, and

 

2.  The rumour circulated in media for this summer is surprisingly accurate.  The likes of Abraham Caballero etc all turns out to be correct. 

 

The major stumbling block now, imo,  is whether we can offer attractive enough salaries to get him here.

If we sign one genuinely significant upgrade like Jovetic then, imo, all of a sudden it becomes a not-bad window. It's still not ideal, and it'll have been reached via the most torturous (and potentially catastrophic) of means - but we'd look in a lot better shape. We'd have an upgrade at CB (Lejeune), an upgrade at CM (Merino) and an upgrade at CF (Jovetic). Would still need that goalie though.

Agree.

 

We can still salvage the shitfest of this seasons transfer window with 1 real upgrade of striker.

 

In an ideal world I would love a keeper and LB but that ain't gonna happen, barring Ashley undergoing biblical proportions of a conversion in the next day or so.

 

If we can also offload Siem and even 1 or 2 others then, whilst being far from ideal, there will be some minor merit in it all.

 

Of course we don't get nice things so it's all moot probably.

I would agree, but the problem is, I find it difficult to believe we'll get someone like that here, and from Rafa's quotes he seems to have very little faith in our board either.
