Panic stations almost upon us here like.

I waited for an age outside the Quilted Camel, placard at the ready, on Saturday and not a soul turned up. There were a few furrowed brows around, but possibly just hangover related. Beginning to doubt the whole new panic-stations-protest movement ?‍♂️

I know I just watched highlights, but surely last nights match + injury to Shelvey shows we still have much to do in the market before the window closes to solve both starting and depth issues. 
 

when some of our true rotation players who are pushing to start have durability issues that’s got to be sorted out via signings.

A loan for a out of favor CM who can play as the 6 or 8 would be ideal. 
 

A purchase of a top 8/10 would be ideal who can cover mid and attack would be great. 
 

A purchase or loan of a striker backup to Wilson who could play wide forward too.

I'd be surprised, or even amazed if Fraser has that kind of season again, or even near. I don't think it's possible for him, physically. Not that you said it, i'm just saying.

 

Agree with this. He's been at Newcastle for two years now, and even if you discount the long periods out with injuries, he just doesn't look like a serious footballer these days. Even when he's playing he looks like he's just come back from his summer holidays.

We really do need a striker in who can finish AND stay fit. We don’t have one at the club right now. 
 

But I’m concerned that there isn’t one available who will fit our wage and transfer fee limits and have the right character. 
 

Really can’t predict what the club is going to do here. I hope they surprise us.

Think that's a little harsh. Bad timing with the injury towards the end of the season, but before that he was running himself into the ground every game under Howe. Looked way fitter as well.

I hear there's a lad who plays for Lyon who can cover all three of our problem positions...

Agreed

 

if you watch miggy , he doesn’t play as an out n out RW …he drifts all over 

 

paquetta could do that (but better)

We're not signing Paqueta. I imagine he's never even been seriously considered. It's a link that's been entirely generated online by people who see how close he and Bruno is and assume he must be signing because of that alone. 

Or, yknow, we were interested in him even before signing Bruno and people being aware of their friendship…

But like I said, two years. There's a decent player in there somewhere, but he really needs to prove he can stay fit before anything else. Personally I wouldn't want to be relying on it. Get a RW in. Now.
