Transfer rumours

[mrmojorisin75]

Ki, Shelvey, Hayden and Longstaff is a decent four and we can probably cope at left-back for another year. Depends if Bruce sticks to Rafa's system or goes with four at the back.

 

Basically, STRIKERS PLZ

 

if bruce is going to have any hope of success, assuming hayden leaves, he's going to need an athletic type to get up and down the pitch and break things up or we're fucked

 

colback and saivet it is then

I think the key for success is 5 at the back, dicepline, one strong striker that can hold the ball up and two pacey forwards on the counter attack.

 

...and of course Longstaff with a decent partner in the middle!😉

[toon25]

Longstaff and Hayden are quality, they just won't be here come Arsenal.

 

I can’t see them, especially Hayden, as being anywhere near as effective as he was under Rafa. He improved no end under his tutelage.

Colback and Shelvey would be the least mobile if you are judging on athleticism.

 

Been ages since we were talking about the lack of legs in midfield, in a way it will almost seem nostalgic to watch two heavy legged plodders gasping for air after a 10m dash.

I'm assuming every player to be about 25-50% worse next season. Think that's about right.

I thought Hayden wanted to leave? 

 

Id get rid of Shelvey and look for someone more mobile but then then we've got Steve Bruce so it doesn't matter.

i'd say that's about right as an average, there will no doubt be an exception or 2 that like bruce's methods on some level but overall i fully expect them all to get worse

He does but he has for ages. And we're up to 18th July, so the poor lad might still have to wait.

cuts right to the heart of it there hahahaha

[Raconteur]

 

I read recently that Schteeve Mac got a written warning for talking about transfers inappropriately. Looks like Brewcie is going to need one too

There is no hope in having a dynamic midfield with Steve Bruce. 

 

 

[Collage]

There’s only one CM we should sell and it’s not Shelvey.

[mrmojorisin75]

can't sell something no one wants to buy, but you're right

[Shearergol]

Well we should, as he's been shite for ages. But Colback needs shooting too.

[Colos Short and Curlies]

Can't see Austin here at all.

 

It will be one of Carroll, Sturridge or as an outside bet Welbeck who lead the line next season alongside Lipton Tea or Gayle.

 

Also not so sure that Cackback will be playing much, it will be Longstaff + Hayden or Shelvey as a 2 unless we bring another in

[mighty__mag]

Steve Bruce keen on players.

 

Theres no chance in hell Bruce will be choosing or negotiating any incoming player, he's the head coach.

 

The title given to Steve McClaren when he was also the donkey who had to stand by and try to figure out who to play where from Graham Carrs signings, and look what happened there.

What sort of player will Steve Bruce target?

In order to consider a good sample size, it seems wise to look at his two-seasons at Aston Villa prior to his dismissal in October of last season. Bruce signed over 20 players both as permanent transfers and on loan across his four windows in charge.

 

What initially stands out perusing through that group of recruited personal is that Bruce seems to favour experience and short term improvement as opposed to investing in youth and future prospects.

 

His recruitments across his two seasons in charge of Aston Villa had an average age of over 26.

 

This can be looked at in one of two ways. Firstly, on paper at least, these recruitments can be seen as less of a gamble in the sense that the players have already illustrated their qualities in a similar environment and as such will likely perform at the level expected of them.

 

However, on the other side of the coin, it can also prove to be a shortsighted and expensive approach that sees a constant need to rebuild an ageing squad on a yearly basis for large sums of money. This is simply because buying players in their peak often warrants a large transfer fee.

 

As was the case at Villa Park, funds are constricted at St James’ Park therefore it is unlikely Newcastle will be able to recruit players in the pomp of their career.

 

Instead, Bruce will likely target players on the decline who can still provide a service, even if it is no longer to the best of their ability.

 

Another staple of these experienced personal seems to be that they must have experience within England’s top two tiers - again most likely because they have already proven they can perform in a similar environment.

Pure bollocks from so called journalist

 

 

 

That said, I somewhat hope it’s true.

That article means fuck all. It's based on his signings at cash strapped championship clubs where funds were a lot more limited. Ashley's directive will mean Bruce will be looking at player of the diametric opposite suggested there. I mean, it doesn't take a degree in journalism to work that out.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Ooh, players on the decline, where do I get a season ticket again?

Damien Duff is selling them at the ticket office.

Fucking hell :crylaughing:

 

Chronicle repeatedly reports Ashley model is to target under 26 with re-sale value. So Bruce is going to be fighting the system from day one then. Hero!

It's more cutting edge journalism at it's best.
