Newcastle United transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

We should be looking at players who can improve us once we're in the PL if we go into the market in January. Financially we're in a healthy position and I would have thought we'd be a more attractive proposition for potential signings than a current bottom 8 PL club with the exception of maybe Leicester.  Assuming Shelvey gets a ban and Diame is away at the ACON it's clear where we need to be looking at strengthening.

Provided Rafa stays and Ashley continues to support him, we will be a FAR more attractive proposition than all PL clubs bar the Top 6....stability will be the key, but if top players are sure that this will continue they will want to play for both NUFC and Rafa..he has won more than any current PL manager and we are capable of filling a 75,000 stadium if we start doing well.

Remember how we signed really good players under KK when we had just escaped from relegation to the Third div 2 years previously... we can do that again but ONLY if we show ambition and continuity...we would blow the likes of Leicester and Southamptom away quite frankly.

Careful. You will be classed as deluded there even though it is right.

 

We should of blown Southampton away for players 3 years ago instead of Ashley making a total mess of things.

 

Toby Alderweireld was the big one for me, we should of been all over that yet allowed him to go to Southampton on loan.

 

If we had just shown a medium level of ambition and signed the players that our status warranted from 2006-2015 we would never have left the top half.

 

That time when we were on a par with Spurs around 2005 as us and them most likely to break into the top group of clubs on a regular basis.

 

They carried on signing top young talent like Bale, Walker, Modric etc etc and we signed mercenaries or players we thought we could make a quick buck on. There was no reason coming off the back of top 4 finishes and a champions league campaign and a UEFA cup semi final that we couldn't have got players like that. Keegan even said Modric was up for coming here.

 

So frustrating.

 

Hopefully from the summer we sign the calibre of players that we should be

If we have the Sissoko money and Rafa as the draw, it wouldn't be deluded to try for someone like Morgan Schneiderlin, who would seem a good foil for Shelvey and a great screen if there is a good chance of Lascelles/Clark being kept next season. Maybe paper talk, but he's being linked with West Brom and Everton. They're fine clubs, but aren't exactly a ticket to Europe or the French national side. When we were in the PL, we had the 8th? highest revenue. We wouldn't be the typical just-promoted club.
