Newcastle United transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

Is it a maximum of 2 loans we're allowed overall or is it a maximum of 2 domestic loans? Can see us using the loan market again like the Merino deal

 

Far as I'm aware you're allowed unlimited international loans, as they're seen as actual transfers.

If Caballero and Abraham were the first choices for those positions (maybe second in Caballero's case) then it gives you an idea of the sort of budget he's operating with and the sort of players we'll be going for.

 

Time to pull a couple of rabbits out of a couple of hats, Rafa.

 

Still hopeful we'll get Reina.  Think he'd be ideal for us.

Not much time for a new keeper to come in before the start of the season and get to know the defenders, work on communication etc.

 

Sels had all pre-season with us and it looked like he'd never seen a football before :lol:

 

Understand your point though

Darlow and Elliott are still here. Rafa doesn't seem to think they are up to Premier class but they are probably good enough to start the season while a new keeper gets up to speed. Elliott's not a bad stand in keeper even if we sell Darlow.

As long as we stay in the league and Rafa is happy then that will do first season back. We haven't go the money to compete but that will change next year and we can build on what we've got. Really we only need to finish above one team we didnt last year, we've got that in us now.

 

I still expect 3 signings of decent quality, 2 if we can't shift some of the deadwood. We'll be fine, the advantage we have over most is our manager, we either put faith in him doing what's needed or stop worrying g he's gonna leave every 5 mins as he doesn't make any difference anyway.

Seen this a lot, i do struggle to understand why people think it will be any different next year. The owner is still Mike Ashley.

How much did he spend the season we went down? Before the money went batshit crazy.

65-70 million

That's because we were going down otherwise, see really no evidence to suggest we'll suddenly start spending cash if i'm honest.

 

about 45million was spent pre-season.

 

Ashley's main issue is suspect/clinically insane managerial appointments.

Aye and without that spending we would have been certainties for the drop, Ashley only spends when he's investment is in danger.

 

I don't see that changing and i really don't see why people think any different.

He tried to be clever by saving money there, and relying on what he thought was a savvy scout instead. That was an expensive lesson in the end. If Rafa does relatively well this season I think he'll have a lot more leeway next year.

I read from those two that were cheap/available and likely to come thus leaving more money to strengthen elsewhere rather than have to pay £15-20m on two positions we'd still need but could have for £0-5m.

No doubt that there is a chance that he could move, but not for what we'd be pondering to pay. Probably better clubs in for him as well (But maybe the Rafa factor would have helped if we were willing to pay for him)
