Newcastle United transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

I'm a fan of Shelvey, but as i think someone mentioned earlier he doesn't really fit into Rafa's preferred style of playing, so if we could replace him with more of a destroyer type to play in a 2 alongside Hayden/Merino then I would be OK with it.

 

Need a replacement before selling though - pretty sure Rafa knows this, and makes any move this window very unlikely.

A few mentions of Sandro on loan from Everton.

 

The £20m striker mystery solved.

 

Not really considering the narrative from the Chronicle and Sky Sports has been that we would break our transfer record. We're not going to pay £20m to take someone on loan for 4 months.

It's all a pisstake IMO. Ashley and his mates at Sky leading us a merry dance again.

 

The only possible way we bring in someone in the region of 20m is if Mitrovic goes and brings in over half of it. It’s fucking pathetic.

We know how it goes.

 

We will be pressing on, then frustrated, making progress. Then told the other team is wanting to bring a replacement in before selling. Then moving on to other targets, fake sensational last minute bids, go back in for previous player with more derisory bids then the window shuts with deafening silence from the club for the last 12 hours.

 

Next day late on messages of how we tried hard, manager seething, board frustrated they couldn't get targets. Markets is bad and too expensive which makes things hard yada yada.  Then a week or two later identifying then monitoring targets for the summer, scouting games for unknown players that never come to light or fruition. Drawing up two lists for stay up or go down. Both lists will then be on hold while contract talks with the manager hang over the clubs head, back to square one as window approaches.

Probably a couple of new takeover rumours leaked too depending on whether it looks like we're staying up or not.

Regarding Shelvey I may as well just repeat what I said about Mitro, because the point stands for both.

 

Selling any player, when we’re low on quality/options would be ridiculous. Selling the player(s) to a relegation rival would be utterly fucking stupid.

 

Throw into that the obvious fact that these players clearly wont be replaced and it makes it even worse.
