gbandit Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Just now, The College Dropout said: Based on what? Good question, I think based on his performances last season. It takes a lot of mental strength to come into a team that’s failing and be a big part of why they stayed up. Personally think that reflects very well on him but his performances this season and going in for needless tackles suggests he’s trying too hard to make an impact Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abacus Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 In the Times match report today, the reporter picks out that Howe referred to incoming transfers in the singular - "Were keen to bring a player in that can help us...there's no guarantee..." Admittedly that might be a reach from the writer, and Howe is always cagey with this type of thing. He also said he had "no issue" with the size or strength of his current squad - though that slightly contradicts how he came across on selling Wood. So what would I guess? Maybe one first team forward / attacking mid like e.g. Maddison, maybe a couple of youth prospects. And possibly an opportunistic buy if someone becomes available late on, with more serious rebuilding in summer, depending on where we land up. Clearly, we all want everything tomorrow, but January is always a weird one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krabbe2 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 ManU are not going to sell Mctominay in January and Everton will probably let the new manager get up to speed on Gordon. Think we can relax around these players for now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memphis Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Just keep in mind - Whenever a rumour comes out, think to yourself - 'Why did this source have this information?' Assuming it isn't just made up completely, the journalist had to get it from the selling team, the buying team, or the player. Sometimes there are logical reasons why one or more of these parties would give up information to be publicised, but more often than not in our case, there aren't any reasons to do so. That's why we're often dragged into other transfers, we're perceived as a rich club and we've always got money to spend, a very convenient rival for an agent or a selling team to throw out there. That makes sense as a motivator to get other teams to negotiate. Our targets tend to be players that the selling team doesn't want to sell, and we don't want people to know about our targets. So there's little incentive for anyone to reveal anything about our possible deals until they're almost done. Whatever happens, the journalists will probably know at the same time we do.

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Might come across a bit harsh, but I feel like the regional journalists who cover Newcastle are largely poor when it comes to any sort of transfer news. They don’t really tend to have first sight on any developing or breaking story. In contrast, you’ve obviously got Ornstein who is very good at breaking news on transfers involving Arsenal / other London-based teams. John Percy covering the Midlands, Matt Law on Chelsea, Phil Hay for Leeds, James Pearce at Liverpool etc. Don’t really think our lot offer much insight, or have any sources at the club to offer insight into recruitment. Which is probably a good thing for the club really, not so great for fans who would like updates on activity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) I think we’ll sign a versatile forward and maybe a younger prospect. But I also won’t be surprised if we don’t get anything done until summer, if we were to make a major signing this window I think it would have been done by now. The longer it goes on the less confident I’m feeling and it’s not necessarily a negative if we don’t make a move this window, I understand why people clamour for new players but under current circumstances the squad is healthy besides some looking a bit drained over the last couple of fixtures. Summer will be big though. Edited January 23, 2023 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 The main reason I want signings is because it'll be so difficult to make the volume of changes we'll need for Europe in one summer window. Rather do a couple now and have them bedded in. Hard to get in January etc etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t feel it’s this managements style to get drastic and change the initial layout for transfer windows on current position though. Perhaps we might move for one more than planned in summer or something but Howe has been meticulously building this squad ability and personality wise.. just can’t see the plans being changed far enough to have to bed in 2/3 potential starters this window. Imo that’s a big risk and could harm as much as help in the short term, this squad are where they are on merit and I’d like to let them carry on. Summer is different, much more time on our hands to ease new players in and shift players out. Edited January 23, 2023 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emotic Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 If Tory Frank gets the sack, it may well be that Gordon might stay to impress a new manager. Which may or may not be good news for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
