Just now, Dandy Man said: I do agree we need more goals but we also had a lot of positions that needed strengthening and have addressed most/all of those to some extent. Getting a top goalscorer in January was always going to be hard and for better or worse we have got Chris Wood, not overly glamorous but he can still contribute. In my opinion we have strengthened as much as could be realistically expected and would have taken the current state of affairs if had been offered it at start of January. I think we've got the players to provide adequate ammunition for Wood, I don't think he's injury prone but I'd be worried without cover until Wilson returns.

Happinesstan Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 The surprise is how many people are disappointed. Yeah, we still have a weakness or two [in the case of injuries] but we've improved our ability to control every area of the pitch. Yes I include Wood by extension.

ohmelads Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Honestly, with the funds available, if we're going into the last 17 games praying St Max stays fit then I don't think we've maximised our window. Whether we get away with it or not we'll see. I think the likes of Watford, Burnley etc were fearing worse and will be content. Hopefully the remaining hours we can get the creativity we've needed all season so we are not a one-man attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Very disappointed if we don't get a striker in. Suppose that means EH has decided Gayle is adequate back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishMagpie Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 "I can exclusively reveal that steve bruce is currently working furiously on his world-wide address book to bring in much needed quality that matches his brilliance as he tries to save the basket case club in in the armpit of the north from dropping in to the championship which is were I'm sure you'll agree they've always belonged and should have just been grateful to be in the same league as Burnley for this long. All this despite him being 'shafted' by the club hierarchy who promised him a Sports Direct loyalty card with hundreds of points on it which he thought could be redeemed at any football club for an Andy Carroll. What a guy! Lucky to have him so they are!" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc123 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) Any player abroad now seems difficult. Downie or someone said there is a lot of paperwork to be done on those deals.

Nine Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Targett and Burn tied up within the new few hours then. Plenty of time left for Lingard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Unlike for as long as i can remember, if a bid went in from us for a player not yet mentioned you wouldn't be surprised, it's such a weird but good feeling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cranna Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) The lack of signings up front will be a very big problem. Even with Guimarães, I don't think Newcastle is safe without at least a player like Lingard. Edited January 31, 2022 by cranna Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
