Tiresias Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 That's an article that comes from this set of questions: "If Newcastle were not to sign another striker would you be upset" Howe, not wanting to act like he's annoyed at the club and also to make players feel wanted "No, if we can't get another striker in Callum will be brilliant number 9 for us next season" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 The plan was always Wilson the main striker and a younger backup, nothing has changed just the headline seems a bit extreme Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 "Chris Wood is still with us" is a strange comment, almost as though he didn't expect him to be . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I mean I think it was always likely that Wilson would be first choice centre forward - hence why we've been linked to young strikers and those that can also play wide. It definitely doesn't mean we won't sign another forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bompeter Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 If I see these Saudi Golf creeps spunk another £100m on some middle-aged divvy before we splash the cash for an elite striking talent it's PIF out for me like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) Wilson was always going to be first choice, but if we don't bring an attacker or striker in at all (I think we will btw) then this window has been a bit of a failure given how clearly imperative one was when last season ended due to Wilson's injury record and the quality of Wood.

gdm Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Quick someone help me out with something positive to say Nah seriously could just be a case of they’ve decided to use the remaining ‘budget’ on a winger that can also play as a striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They maybe majority owners however the club is operating within its means. Money spent this season is the premier league money. Whether we actually speculate to accumulate remains to be seen. The noise at this moment in time seems to be tempering the expectations of fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

et tu brute Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) Clickbait reporting again based off Howe's interview and of course the usual meltdown results . Just wait until the end of the window and then start questioning if the required players have not been brought in. There's still nearly 6 weeks to go.

Wow, were you asleep during the Ashley years? Get a grip of yourself and give your head a shake, they will spend what they spend, would you prefer we waste 100s of millions like Everton and end up in relegation battles or do things properly and not bent over and taken to town? Some of our fans are fickle imbeciles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nepharite Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Remember when all we ever argued about was whether the PIF were going to buy us and if we could afford Choudhury on loan.

xLiaaamx Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Sekou Mara seems the logical one for me. You don't need to worry about a squad space, there's no way his team can keep him given the double relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
