gbandit Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Just now, 54 said: I remember when the takeover happened, Amanda said that they'd rarely look to do business in the January window. It makes me wonder that, if injuries not withstanding, we'll go with the same squad for the whole season, especially given we have multiple player that can feel every position now. Guess to the only caveat would be if another opportunity comes along that they want to bring forward, ala Gordon. Yeah, we’ll have no intentions of signing anyone in January unless a perfect situation arises for a player that fits our profile. We might sign a Kuol or Minteh though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viana Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I'm also grading the window against the fact that we've had summers in the last decade that included - just one player, and Jeff Hendrick/Ryan Fraser double. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 If we are still looking for an up and coming CB that won't fill a squad place we might jump on reported long term interest for Edwards: https://www.transfermarkt.us/ronnie-edwards/profil/spieler/732165 Pretty highly rated England U19/U20 CB, played every minute of the u20 World Cup for England. Ashworth known to be an admirer going back a year or so. Lots of over PL also interested including Palace who have had several bids turned down. Lots of noise from the Peteborough high brass talking up clubs like us, Arsenal and Chelsea but likely just trying to smoke out bigger bids from Palace, West Ham or Rangers.

andycap Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I'd just use Alex Murphy burn lascelles as the backup options until next summer. Unless of course we lose botman or schar to a long term injury then we will have to bolster in january Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidAK Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 If we're still looking for a bit of depth at right wing, there is a certain french mercurial winger with history at the club who's currently without a club Spoiler disclaimer: I may have just rewatched "The streets won't forget Ben Arfa at Newcastle" for the 16th time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Most of our most talented young athletes end up playing hurling or GAA, is my theory. Be great if we get a decent generation coming through, moreso if a few of them are at Newcastle too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I'm always encouraging encouraging my Brazilian students to get out there and start shagging and having babies with Irish people, no sign of any results yet in terms of talented football prospects. That said, they're not sending their best and fastest-footed. Went to the park for a kickabout a month or two ago and all the Brazilians were completely shite.

Alberto2005 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Was interesting in the final 2 episodes of the documentary, in one of their meetings showed a diagram of our squad highlighting "primary positions" and "secondary positions" to improve for this transfer window. If I saw it right RB, RCB, LB, CM were the primary positions. Striker was the only secondary position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
