NUFC Transfer Rumours

I wonder what would happen if you start getting Saudi Pro League players on loan

The more I see Mbuemo the more clearly suited he is to our style. He’d be a monster here. Have him over Cunha every single time.

Bloody use the loan market if needed too 

 

villa smashed it by doing so in jan 

By paying out about half a mill a week to do so. 
 

Gamble hasn’t worked if they don’t make CL.

 

*I will say that in the position they found themselves come January, it was probably a ‘sensible’ gamble, but doesn’t necessarily equate that we would be in a similar position.

 

*And I’d also say that Emery’s coaching methods lend themselves much better to loaning players than Howe’s does. Emery tends to do a lot more trading of players, and swapping players in and out to suit particular games. Howe is more about coaching players to be able to do what he wants (probably generalising significantly in relation to both of them like).

An emergency PL meeting followed by a new rule banning the loan of players from the Saudi Pro League.

Surely we have to strike a balance between getting in quality and quantity. If we sign a current premier league baller for 50-60m, and that potentially leaves us with pennies, we're back to having a shit squad the next year.

Howe himself has confirmed we’ve bid big money for Guehi and Khusanov since the Anderson thing so there’s either money there to spend (and presumably more now since those bids) or the club genuinely don’t know what they’re doing. Based on the below quotes from the Summer, it sounds like we’re just being careful and waiting for the right deals/players.

 

 

“Without going into the individual situation here, we've tried to sign several players,” Howe admitted when asked about putting sole focus on signing one player in Guehi. “It's never been about one player. It can never be about one player, because as soon as you're in that position, then your negotiation strength is over.

 

"So, no, we've tried for several targets, but it still has to be the right player though. And there isn't an unlimited number of players. It's not like you can, well, we'll just go on to the next one, the next one, the next one. Because then the quality dilutes and then you have to question whether you're doing the right thing for the long-term future of the club. "There isn't a bottomless pit of money. We're not able to spend that way. Everything that we do has a long-term consequence. So you've got to be very sure whatever you do is right for the long-term future and short-term future of the club.”

 

When asked what the ‘right player’ is for Newcastle, Howe added: “The right player is multi-factored, really. 

“It's the right age, the right deal as in transfer fee, the right wages, then the right player to actually come into your squad, the right positional need. 

“There's loads of things. If one of those things is not right, especially financially for us, it puts us in a difficult situation."

We’re never signing anyone again then
