James Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 So, heard from a source today that there’s zero budget for Bruce other than from player sales, two players are already linked with other clubs (Hayden being one). Targeting a striker on loan but no idea who it might be (all enquiries unsuccessful so far). This comes from a first teamer. Not surprising really that the club would react this way to the current climate after takeover fell through. The club need to revert to my Football Manager no budget strategy where I: Sell any player who can be suitably replaced by a cheaper player or through academy promotion and then spend the money on improving the weaker areas. In this situation, Dubravka, any two of our centre backs, Ritchie, Atsu, Muto, and Joelinton all have to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we'll all find out soon enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think Bruce or Charnley walking around telling all the players there’s no money for players? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 According to the Chronicle we are working with Lazaar’s agent to find a new left back A Mr Lachraf Azaar has been touted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Bruce wants to buy more goals and most of our goals are by centre backs. Makes sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Sounds about right. I was just thinking what I would do in that situation but I can’t really even think of anyone we could afford to sell to raise funds to spend elsewhere. Only really Lejeune or Schar but there aren’t going to bring much in? Gayle would be best off sold if we could get 10m then put that towards a good striker on loan. Other than that we have very little room to manoeuvre. That boat has sailed, with Gayle injured for 3-4 months (of the 11 remaining on his contract). So it's even worse than you posit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J7 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Doubt you'd get much more then £5-7m for Joelinton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 It would be the most Newcastle/Ashley thing to go and spend on a centre half, when you are in desperate need of a striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
