MarkyMark Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 You don’t need to put someone on a short term contract if you’re asking them for advice for a few days - you pay them a lump sum or by the hour. Something clearly happened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Consultant.. the length of that is whatever the club wants it to be. Perhaps they spoke with him and then the guy from Brighton and realised quickly not to waste time there. Anyones guess. Not necessarily a bad thing though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggys First Goal Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) So today’s transfer gossip… Newcastle United are expected to resume talks with Sevilla next week over the signing of 28-year-old Brazilian centre-back Diego Carlos. Newcastle have had a bid of more than 40 million euros (£33.4m) for 20-year-old French defender Benoit Badiashile turned down by Monaco. Newcastle are pushing ahead with attempts to sign Napoli's 27-year-old Germany winger Robin Gosens, who has been out injured since September. West Ham face stiff competition from Newcastle for Manchester United's England midfielder Jesse Lingard, who will be out of contract in the summer. Lingard impressed on loan at West Ham last season, but Newcastle are willing to pay £3m to sign the 29-year-old this month. Manchester United value 29-year-old England centre-back Phil Jones at £15m, with Burnley and Newcastle interested in a move.

Howe said young foreign strikers aren't what we need and Wood is. We should get Blas since that agency at least work with us but we'll probably want PL experience again. Did Howe actually say this? Of course not man. People just making their agendas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyc35i Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 It’s so disappointing that we couldn’t hold yesterday. We could have had a week out of the bottom three to maybe convince some of these players that we weren’t going down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Is it too late to hire a decent scouting team? Like we would save a lot of money if we weren't so fixated on a handfull of players we're going to have to throw over £40m each on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing at a team 2nd top of la liga. Comes here trebles his wages for 6 month then we go down. Wheres he going from there ?

In terms of potential trophies he would certainly take a hit but he’d be much richer it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krabbe2 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 This thread suddenly died out a bit. Started well the first week, then came the Cambridge match and the Watford match and now one suddenly became a little more indifferent. Steer clear of wrecks from other PL clubs.

Thumbheed Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Shelvey is not playing bad to be fair but a combative DM who plays his role would make a big difference to our team. He's always there or there abouts when defending that area, and does apply pressure quite well but doesn't have the skillset to dispossess like a true DM can. A CD, followed by a DM should be our absolute priorities, but a RW should be in the mix too to give us a bit of attacking balance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWN Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Cunt of a time for players of genuine quality, we pinned to much on this window and are looking for blame. The blame lies with 1 cunt Ashley , end of . Relegation looks assured and I bet we still have Lascelles and Co here in the Championship as well.

The fact our midfield literally excels at nothing is a disaster. They can’t pass, they can’t dribble, they can’t find good space, they can’t mark. They completely hopeless. We would be better served getting 2-3 midfielders and just 1 cb rather than 2 cb’s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
