The Prophet Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 The current first team is 9th-12th fodder. Replace Shelvey and Fraser with genuine quality and we can talk top seven. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 We need 4 signings to safely push into the top half next year imo: - CB, CM, CF and RW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Home form will be huge for us going forward. Really believe SJP can become a fortress again. Teams will hate coming up to Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 3 hours ago, gdm said: Yes, but all the other clubs around us are likely going to strengthen. Also last seasons form was incredible it’s highly unlikely we have form like that next season. Yep. I think it would be a really big ask to expect us to hit top 6 form without one or two real game changer signings. Teams will adapt and learn to probe our weaker spots better. As it stands, we are still looking like more of a defend and counter attack team, but massively reliant on Wilson staying fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a start to the season where it’s not all over by September would be nice for the first time in God knows how long. Think at minimum we’ll be mid-table within reach of the top 7. I’ll take that for now. Edited June 24, 2022 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 We dont have a squad capable of top 4, despite our 2nd half of the season form. I dont think weve even got a squad capable of 7th yet tbh. We also had a squad that had been fine tuned for PL survival ONLY. The cups were binned off asap. So if we are competing in 3 competitions next season AND pushing for a european place, then we need a MUCH stronger squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully agree but we also need to make sure we don’t hit the top end of ffp just yet as we seriously need to offload and bring more advertising revenue. All things considered I’d be delighted with a top half finish and keep buying sensible players to strengthen but going for top draw players even though for next few seasons they’re going to turn us down most of the time.

Anyone else not convinced? 3 hours ago, ManDoon said: I really think Broja just suffered from a)being young and inconsistent b)Southampton having those weird patches of form. I think he would do well here. The Mitro but mobile comparison is bang on imo Some mint editing here. First, the bloke in the crowd for Albania, then the Albania manager with a solid hands on hip hockle. Broja is better than Mitro with the ball at his feet, can dribble and take on defenders. Mitro is a menace around the box, needs much more service than Broja would. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Mitro Broja at 20 is already better than Mitro ever has been in the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc123 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 We wont go the same run we had after christmas. At the same time we wont have as little as we had before christmas. But the team is not a top 7 team. We are lacking badly up front bar Wilson. And he will be out for some time in a season. We need pace in defence. We need legs in the midfield. We need a wide man capable of more than 1 and 2 goals under their belt. The wide area is shocking. Take away Maximin and its almost not Pl worthy. And we need a backup for Wilson. After that we can be taken seriously in the top 7 race. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
