Shearergol Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Doubt we'll sign anyone for more than 4-5m. Can see 1-2 players in that price category, at best. 1 more loan in and 2 loans out imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 One loan and one £6m fifth-choice chap that everyone considers absolute wank by the end of September. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Abraham would be an excellent signing even smashing our record, young and has all the attributes. Rafa has a lot to work with there and again although a top goal scorer would be nice, I can forget that if a striker’s all-round game gives us so much more and helps the team more ala Bellamy when Sir Bobby signed him.

Ikon Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Exciting times lads and lasses. Making sure we have momentum going into the new season :lol: Last season the players had some momentum from winning the Championship, the willingness and hunger to show that they can do reasonably well in our first season back. Now I find it hard to believe that the players feel like we can build on from that. No backing for Rafa, unhappy fans. Why should/will the players show any ambition and desire when the people running the club dont do it. Rafa is an amazing manager and man, but I think even he will struggle really hard to do as well as last season, especially with other teams at least trying. Also, the players probably realize by now that Rafa wont stay after this season. But yeah, if anyone can get something out of the players it's Rafa, but it will be tough..

Ketsbaia Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 That's the thing, this is merely to compete. Our only hope is that we hold off relegation for a few years - write those seasons off - and pray for a hero to eventually buy us off Ashley. Then we can compete again, maybe pull off coups like Seri, Schurrle, Felipe Anderson etc. Just hang on for a while Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Ashley doing his best to get rid of Rafa and get a cheap yes man in. Rafa came in and gave the fans hope and belief that maybe this club can get somewhere under him even with only decent backing. I doubt Mike expected Rafa to become this popular and convince (make us believe) the fans that this club can and should be so much more. The cunt doesn’t like this, as he prefers the fans quiet and in total apathy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John P Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Still can't quite believe this transfer window is happening. Even my pessimistic mind thought we would sign a couple of players on top of Dubravka and Kenedy. It's utter insanity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think so,” said Benitez, who has put forward Fabian Schar and Salomon Rondon as two realistically-priced targets. “It needs additions, that is clear. It is clear what we have to do. “There could be a new signing in time for Portugal (Newcastle leave on Friday), but then I was expecting things before.

Ikon Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Almost hoping we get no one in now, just to add fuel to the fire. Or maybe more than a spark at least. Whatever we might do is going to be far far far from enough anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
