If a young player loses the motivation to keep improving then they're inclined to go backwards. They don't stay on the same level, like they hope. If he can get his ambition back, he'd be a good buy. He is on the outside of one of the most talented England squads, that has a chance at going the distance in Qatar. Got to think he wants to get back and be involved. That said, if he wants and England call up would mean not moving to Newcastle obviously lol Also just realised if we get Bakker, at 21 years old he shouldn't count towards PL squad limits should he? Another bonus. Edited January 24, 2022 by toontownman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I’m surprised Kessie isn’t aiming higher than Spurs. That being said I read he’s asking for 10mil per year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 So what's the deal with this Bakker? He only went to Leverkusen in the summer. Seems to have started around half of their league games, so not sure if he's been injured a bit, or more of a squad player for them, and if he sees this as a step up being in a better league for a club with big potential (and wages), or to possibly kick start a career?

SUPERTOON Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Really good article that. Key points for anyone who doesn’t have access: - Still want 2 CB - Still want 1 LB - Still want 1 holding midfielder - Still want attacking midfielder - Still want another striker Usual names being mentioned, Gueye and Bissouma (he would be considered a marquee signing) are the names mentioned for DM alongside Kamara and Haidara. Says now AFCON players will also be considered as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamjk007 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Bissouma would be the signing of the window if we got him, would be perfect for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack j Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) Week today til the window is done Sweepstake on what we'll get 1 Centre back 1 left back 1 midfielder 1 loan deal nee idea where they'll play Edited January 24, 2022 by jack j Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMark Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Bissouma seems like a potential wrong 'un to me. Character as well as talent should be involved in who you try to sign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clockwork Cheese Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) 'Outgoings' Jeff Hendrick, Gillespie, Gayle if we get another forward in I'd be guessing. Our squad is paying the costly price of our academy being an absolute shamble for the past 15 years. This window has become the breaking point of years of neglect - academy wise, and squad balance/development to the fact we now need to offload before we can PL register, or have players kicking around being paid not to play again ala. Saivet/Atsu/Lazaar. \ Fortunatly we're in a position were we can take the financial hit of paying players not to even be able to play, but if we're in for two centre backs you'd be thinking that Ciaran Clark will be told he can get to fuck. That'll mean a big pay-up on his contract likely if he wants to find a club to play; even it can be afforded, doubt heiracy will want to just be bleeding money on someone like Clark - not being able to find an exit for him could potentially stop a 2nd new CB being signed. Every other club in the league has a handful of U21 players - thus no need for PL registration - from their academies that they can rely on for 10 or so appearances a season. We haven't a single player in that regard, just seemingly a few names that fill up space on a match day bench.
