Guest HTT II Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 If we stay up and spend really really well and big next season, we should be aiming to finish in the top 6 IMO! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I think aiming is fine but I don’t expect us to be ready for top six next season if we stay up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would even go as far to say competing for the top 4. Aside from the top 3, the league is fairly open and we could easily go on a run like West Ham with 3 or 4 top players added in the summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I don't see Targett being here next season. We'll get a new LB in for certain and perhaps Lewis will stay but I can see him leaving for more game time. Targett is a solid player but I hope we're aiming to get someone better than him in.

I think so too if the season started now with the new signings and everyone fit and Howe getting a full pre season we would finish top half I think. So with new signings on top of that top 6 is definatley achievable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aim for top 6 next season, if we achieve that, consolidate but still aim for top 4 the following season, the season after aim for a CL place and if we get that aim for the title and after that keep aiming for the title and CL.

I’d rather we signed him, but still get someone better in than him so we have a very strong squad member and sack off Lewis who will never be good enough even as a squad player. Targett is the current standard and he’s way behind him. Again I’d be happy starting next season with Targett as our LB.

toontownman Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Depending on if targett stays or we look elsewhere 8 or more in the summer would be minimum we been to get up to top 6. GK, 2x CB's, LB, DM/CM, top quality Winger to balance ASM, top quality number 10, top quality striker, maybe 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Target will be a canny squad player if we can get him on the cheap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Don't think Targett will sign as cover, didn't he ask to be loaned out the minute Digne signed? Kid wants first team football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 A couple of quality additions in the summer and we should be in with a chance of beating pretty much anybody at home. We still have a pretty crappy squad and need some actual depth. Would love a cup run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 According to the Sun, we're preparing a £45m bid for Eberechi Eze. Yes please. One very good player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Newcastle are lining up a fresh £45m summer bid for Crystal Palace's 23-year-old English playmaker Eberechi Eze. (Mirror) Newcastle are facing a fight to retain 30-year-old Swiss defender Fabian Schar as his contract enters its final few months, with AC Milan, Sevilla and Valencia interested. (Mail) If the rumour about Eze is true it would imply that we have already tried to sign him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 On 10/02/2022 at 12:59, Consortium of one said: I'd already like Targett to be a permanent move in the summer. Ideally Lewis would be his deputy and learn a thing or two along the way. Then I'd like to see someone brought in to be Trips understudy. I know it might spell the end of Manq but this should be the way forward: established starter> younger guy that is established with room to grow>youth players. For next year I'd love to see two viable players for each position so we can fight for a top 7 (maybe? too ambitious?) AND make a couple of cup runs. I think we need a pacy, mobile striker and still more depth in the midfield and at CB. Plus the second 11 will have a lot of turnover and those players will need replacement. It will certainly be interesting to see how Ashworth and Howe start to remake the squad I want Lewis gone after he chose to sit on his arse rather than get a club elsewhere.

Mazzy Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) Its not like Eze has been their star player, doesnt start every game and sometimes doesnt even get off the bench. I know he's been inured alot this season but this rumour surprises me. Hardly pulled up any trees there. Edited February 17, 2022 by Mazzy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another quality CB and think we’d be fine with Lascelles, Burn & Fernandez as back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronson333 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Rueben has tweeted praise about Eze before, so not surprised by this. Eze and ASM together would be lethal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc35i Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 £45m is overpaying for Eze. There’s clearly talent there and I wanted us to get him before he joined Palace, but I think we could do better than him for that amount of money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
