Now That's What I Call Transfer Rumours! 7

[Yorkie]

Yeah Fraser has had it, like. Seems a good lad and he made a decent contribution for a spell last season, particularly given the weight Howe puts into his Bournemouth lads helping to set the tone. But it's very clear that he's run his race here. Hope he gets a good move; I wonder if one of Celtic or Rangers would go for him? 

 

It's good news for us too because it leaves a gap for that new winger. Marcus Thuram? Pulisic? Back in for Harrison? Someone equally adept on either side would be ideal tbh.

[Super Duper Branko Strupar]

Shame in a way because from Jan to end of last season he was our best option out of him, Almiron and Murphy. That was the more counter attacking team where he had the legs for it, he clearly doesnt have them for this high press, high tempo attack from the front side. Which is a shame because the change in him early 2022 was great to see. Wont ever forget that "Play the same? Play better" comment in an interview after I cant remember which game. Maybe Leeds? Was really the moment I saw the new Newcastle mentality after all those years of "...meh".

Harrison has become the Leeds boo boy this season. My mate still rates him but says the crowd just groan whenever the ball goes near him. He's horrendous at taking corners too.

 

I'm a big fan of Pulisic but I reckon as I'm a Dortmund fan I tend to overrate all of their former players (apart from Haaland of course ). I still reckon Sancho will come good

I’d be good with Lewis, Manquillo, Fraser  and Ritchie off the books for us to bring in long term youth replacements at full back and a competitive winger and attacking mid. 

[Shak]

Yeah reckon the idea will be to replace our poorer squad players with talented youngsters who won't necessarily represent a massive immediate upgrade but will have time to bed in as fringe players and push for starts next year and beyond.

 

Would hope we sign at least one player for the front three, even with everyone back fit and Joelinton showing he can play well on the left I think we're thin there. 

 

Aside from that, I'm very much all-in on the signing a bunch of teenagers 10 or 15 million camp.

[Dokko]

Darlow

Manquillo 

Lascelles 

Dummett

Lewis

Ritchie

Fraser 

 

If teams are interested then we let them go and replace 1 or 2 of them with some decent prospects. 

[Menace]

I honestly forget how much dross we still have in our squad

I'd keep Lascelles for another season, but the rest can sling their hook.

I'll raise you all a Gillespie.

He's on the list simply as he deserves to play somewhere. We'd miss his leadership off the pitch but I think we know a man who is ready to step up. 

 

[TRC]

I think its more so not wanting a massive overhaul at once. I was expecting Fraser to have a bit more about him this seasona and there was hope Lewis could show us at least something but just hasnt worked out.

We need a decent reserve keeper.

In terms of PL minutes so far this season:

Darlow (0')

Gillespie (0')

Karius (0')

Krafth (0')

Dummett (0')

Ritchie (0')
Lewis (7')

Manquillo (10')
Shelvey (34')
Anderson (96')

Lascelles (104')
Isak (244')
Wood (264')
Fraser (311')
Saint-Maximin (378')
Targett (421')

Murphy (484')

 

One of Darlow/Gillespie/Karius surely has to leave in January, even just on loan if it's Darlow/Gillespie, with Dummett and Ritchie in the same boat.

 

Lewis and Manquillo have contributed next to nothing this season and aren't good enough anyway, so I'd hope they could be sold if we manage to sign a young RB.

 

Anderson probably needs another loan, assuming Isak and ASM won't be so crocked for the rest of the season and with the hope we might sign another midfielder and/or forward player. If we get two in, then Fraser could definitely go as well.

 

Wouldn't be comfortable losing anyone else, really, but when we get to summer then Lascelles, Shelvey, Wood, ASM, Targett, and Murphy are probably going to be fair game for a move.

Based on minutes, our first XI this season has been:

 

Pope

 

Trippier Schär Botman Burn

Longstaff Guimarães Willock

Almirón Wilson Joelinton

 

Howe the fuck are we third?

Because of Eddie Howe.

[TheInfiniteOdyssey]

Would rather prioritise getting Anderson a good loan move, than letting Fraser go at this stage.

[Rich]

Do both.

I think it’s also worth remembering, that the current ownership like to consistently play things down to the media. Anything can happen in January. 

Aye.

 

MD21 ends on 21st January. If we are still in the top 4. IMO we'll get a purple to try and secure European football.

Imagine if we’d pushed the boat out for that additional marquee signing midfielder… . Might have held on to win that City game, may have seen out the draw at Anfield, almost certainly would have beaten Palace, perhaps Bournemouth as well, at home. Additional 5-7 points would have been (even more) mind-blowingly nice! 

[mighty__mag]

My opinion is we need another fullback, or/and Centre Back, we can't rely on Dan burn at LB and Trippier to not get burnt out or injured, currently if we lost Botman and Trippier at the same time to injury, then Burn would go into Botmans spot Targett would come in his trademark role, then we are weak at Right Back which then effects Miggy who's form I personally believe is dependent on Trippier, and also leaves us with no decent replacement at right back or cover in both positions I mentioned. 

 

You'd be left with Manquilo and Lascelles. Not good enough. 

 

I'd also consider one proper holding midfielder, because I think Bruno can go to another level and push on a bit.

Wonder how much they would be willing to pay for him?

Got to be 25m he is the backup striker to a top 4 side.

[The Butcher]

Wouldn't even pay 2.5m for him.

[Ronaldo]

What rubbish. No one from the PL will touch him.
