Jack27 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Gordon, Ashby in it seems. Dare I say we’re looking at a good window. Go get a midfielder and I’m over the moon. Saw a link in the Mirror to Sander Berge at Sheff Utd. Would love that FM wonder kid of years gone by to be a Newcastle player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Addressed the lack of options and depth with the Gordon and Ashby signings. Still think CM was the area that needed improvement the most. So it would be a bit disappointing if we didn’t get someone in there. But probably done until the summer now. I suppose ASM getting back to form and fitness, plus Gordon coming in. Means Joelinton/Willock can go back into CM. Plus with Shelvey coming back and Anderson as back up. They might think we are covered, for now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Sander Berge would be a nice upgrade on Longstaff I think but he can be a bit too passive in games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad timing with Shelvey as well, I’d say he’d have been a candidate to move on if he was not injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankpingel Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Ritchie still clinging on is unbelievable. Thought he'd definitely go this window. Fraser is ahead of Ritchie and more talk of him and Murphy going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, wouldn’t be able to replace him and they are in a great spot for promotion. Liverpool and Chelsea linked earlier this month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not disagreeing with your overall point but it just adds to my mild frustration that we don’t swap our wingers during the game and not always have them playing inverted.

Fraser is ahead of Ritchie and more talk of him and Murphy going. Ritchie is a huge presence around the club and in the dressing room. When you get down to Ritchie vs Fraser you’re arguing over who is getting the last spot on the bench, so you’re probably looking at other attributes too.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Ritchie will be looking at a big step down the divisions as well, so possibly is in no rush to leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom1988 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I really don't think that Ritchie and Lascelles should be first out the door. Ok so they don't contribute much on the pitch these days but they have been through a lot with the club and carried us through some pretty dark days. I reckon they're pretty influential in setting the tone around the place too, along with Trippier, so when we have so many incomings it's worth having these lads around to lay the ground rules - there are loads of others who probably don't contribute as much that should leave before them.

It’s a nice sentiment but we’re not a charity for footballers who can’t get a game. They’ve both been excellent in terms of attitude at the club and have been a part of our turn-around even if it was more about supporting with the club culture rather than achieving things on the pitch. I can’t really see a reason why Ritchie stays but Lascelles has more of an argument to be around for at least another year, especially if we get into Europe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Apparently because he is a player on the bench, Ritchie is allowed to be in the pitch until moments before KO and leads the last minute press exercises, which we are then actioning from minute one. If true he is invaluable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
