The Butcher Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 We've a much better squad than the rest of the dross down there. Howe wants shooting if he takes us down now imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

God help out board That’s because we should have the resources and time to ensure we’re not relegated. “Not as bad as Ashley” isn’t exactly a huge positive is it.

Yorkie Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 It was absolutely critical that we signed a FB, a CB, a CM and a CF and we've done all of that. We're a good attacking player away from being nearly certain of survival so it's pretty good going. Hopefully the gaps left by failing to sign Lingard/Ekitike will be filled by good coaching and positive tactical choices. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they've exhausted the list of players they think will improve us. There has to be some players out there that will improve us. We can’t rely on injury prone Wilson, ASM and Wood to fire the goals in that are needed. Hopefully the new defenders can help us let in less than we score then.

Paullow Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Certainly a disappointing day if that is indeed us done. Woke up with 2 fresh signings looking likely, ended up with one of those falling through, and nothing additional. I was WFH today (and had SSN in the background pretty much all day), but feel sorry for anyone who specifically took the day off work for 'Deadline Day' Overall I'd say a 6 or 7 out of 10. 2 signings that should really have been signing for clubs further forward at the moment, and 3 others with vast PL experience, mostly covering positions we needed, and probably all improvements on what we have, if not spectacular. One more attacking signing and it would have been a solid 8, but I guess you can't fault the effort of the owners, and they have invested ca. £90m.

For what we’ve spent, I only see Trippier and Bruno as improvements. Everyone we've signed is an improvement on our squad like, some massively some by a small amount, but we're in a much better position to where we we're a month ago.

Neil Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Be shocked if you go down now. 4 very solid signings and an utterly absurd one. Might not score loads but you'll have plenty enough to steer clear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfectly put, I really don't get some of the negativity, its been a good window, especially by Newcastle standard, if we'd got Lingard in it'd have been excellent.

I reckon it’s the knowledge that we have one creative player capable of scoring and he seems to get injured every single game. That’s the reason for the negativity I reckon.

Targett improves nothing, we have options just as good as him already at the club. Burn may be an improvement on Clark, but won’t improve the starting 11. He’d be possibly 4th choice for me behind Lascelles, Schar and Fernandez. I won’t go into Wood discussion again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
