Hanshithispantz Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 1 hour ago, ponsaelius said: I was in Hull two weeks ago and it has an inaccurate reputation, certainly since the recent city of culture investment. The city centre has some great architecture and the Marina/Humber St area is really nice particularly on a sunny day. I'd also say it is a lot tidier than Newcastle city centre in terms of public realm and general upkeep at the moment. Just a shame it takes places to hit rock bottom in this country before anything gets done about it. Was saying the same to a lad from there a few weeks back, I was massively suprised when working in Hull for a bit, it's genuinely a decent place Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually my neighbour has a palm tree, stunning Spanish lasses in bikinis is a bigger giveaway.

gdm Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 This has been an absolute failure of a window as it stands and in my humble opinion a centre half signing doesn’t drastically change that either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCK Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 So we're net €10m positive? Signed a GK as a trade deal with the Forest, so we could sell Anderson. Signed Lewis Hall because we had to. Hmm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Even if we were/are looking to buy one or two top class players I kind of thought we would be bringing in a couple of “hidden gems” too. We’ve got Osula I guess but yeah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 1 hour ago, Ghandis Flip-Flop said: Now if we are talking about genuinely grim places in that part of the world can I suggest Telford. Basically a few small towns they’ve tried to make a bigger conurbation by putting a shopping centre and retail parks in the middle. Tried to avoid that place like the plague while I lived down there, basically bypassing it and going to Shrewsbury instead, which is another really good night out if you’re ever in that part of the world. Shrewsbury’s great lovely park and river as well, plenty locals with an affinity to NUFC as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcmk Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 If we were to lose today, does everyone think it will accelerate some activity until deadline day? Wondering if the result today influences anything at all. Barring any injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve got Osula I guess but yeah. I know you're talking about players with experience at a decent level (Championship etc), but we've actually signed a few kids of which a few will hopefully come good over the next season or two. Miodrag Pivas, Mo Sedibeh, James Taylor, Rory Finneran, Ezra Tika-Lemba, Kayden Lucas have all come in this window. Last season we brought in Alfie Harrison, Trevan Sanusi, Reece Byrne, Cathal Heffernan, Travis Hernes & Leo Shahar Jamie Miley was already here but looks promising too.

Joelintons leg the 3rd Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 47 minutes ago, Lotus said: I would be puzzled if our team had such a had finely tuned and delicate dynamic that there was only one CB in all of world football that could improve us. That could be a possibility if we were a team of utter galacticos who had won everything and swept all those before them. But, there are better and more productive squads that seem to find themselves in a situation where they have a choice of players to attempt to sign and can make compromises. Given the fact that most people accept Guehi is not even better than Schar (currently) it does seem strange that we are so focused on getting this particular player. This is what pisses me off, loads of teams have made decent signings this season for much cheaper. We could have got Milenkovic who Forest got for 12 Million. You cant complain about not having money then refuse to shop anywhere that isn't Waitrose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

christ Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 I’m still very much of the mindset that we judge at the end of the window. Pointless to get worked up before close of business. However I will say that as a minimum we need to complete the Guehi deal or get a centre back of equivalent quality to avoid looking like total wallies. Mitchell will have lost all credibility if we can’t get that over the line. A right winger would be nice, but I’m not as panicked by our options there as some are.
