People said the same about Coutinho and he’d have instantly been the best player we’ve had for about 15 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have thought seeing Coutinho single handed my turn around a 2-0 deficit on his debut might have made people see we need quality. Hazard has tons. Hazard can't be arsed to get in shape for Real Madrid, what would motivate him to do it for Newcastle? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't alter the fact he's a great player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxst Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Hazard has got 5 goals in the last three seasons combined. I’d take Wood over that return. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 1 hour ago, Yorkie said: Absolutely. And that's just in terms of the players. Clubs know that we're - not just loaded - but loaded and desperate. Of course they're going to take the piss. The two signings we've made were both sure things. Trippier, due to him wanting to return to the north of England and his existing relationship with the manager; Wood, cos there was a release clause and because it's a step up for him. I hope we don't live to regret not seeking more attainable targets of their ilk. I can't blame them for finding it a challenge to secure their targets, but I will blame them if they haven't had the sense to chase the right players. Still, there's a long way to go yet. Wood was all but sorted in a matter of hours so if we need to just press the panic button again, I'm sure we will do, and that will be better than nothing. People of the stature of Wood, or just above, were really the targets I was expecting. Was quite surprised when they started being linked with actually top European CBs and all that. I admire the ambition of trying to make a big leap forward, and of course they don't want to sign too many people that will be surplus to requirements at the end of the season. But we also can't afford to miss out on people who are an upgrade on Shelvey, Lascelles et al. Which is really almost anybody with any kind of quality. Tricky situation all round.

morpeth mag Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 If we are targeting six players that may be four buys and two loans. The loans are likely to come in the last few days of the window. So we are just past half way through the window and have made two of our four buys. I know we are al keen to see reinforcements but we also need to accept that progress has been made and the real negotiations are still ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 16 minutes ago, Disco said: Fire up the old thread! Transfers: Newcastle probe French international Alassane Pléa (Mönchengladbach) The French striker from Borussia Mönchengladbach (28 years old, 1 selection), under contract until 2023, is of interest to the English club. It could be sold this winter or next summer. Very active on dozens of tracks since its takeover by a Saudi consortium in October , Newcastle has just probed Alassane Pléa. The French international striker (1 selection in November 2018), under contract until June 2023 with Borussia Mönchengladbach, could be sold by his club this winter or next summer, when he will probably not extend. The current staff of the Magpies, whose team is struggling in the penultimate place in the Premier League , is interested in the profile of the player trained at OL (28 years old) and has even taken information from Allan Saint- Maximin, friend with Pléa since their joint season in Nice in 2017-2018.

Yeah that's been quite noticeable, he's definitely trying to mend fences. Don't think it can be done though, he nailed his colours to the wrong mast, no coming back from that if you ask me.
