NUFC Transfer Rumours


Optimistic Nut

Recommended Posts

From Douglas:

 

It will get lost in the debate about his future but Howe told reporters here the club are not close on new signings and there is less than a month until the Premier League kicks off.

 

Internally there is no panic. The market, insiders have noted, has been slower than usual and in the likes of Sandro Tonali, Joelinton and a fully fit Harvey Barnes they have players returning in peak condition who can impact games.

 

But Newcastle need to get the right signings, trade well and bring in serious quality to shift the dial. It is understood recruitment meetings have been held here in Herzogenaurach but dominoes need to fall around Europe for things to start moving.

Remember Eddie Howe on Harvey Barnes when on tour in the States ?

1. The window closes in 10 weeks, not the start of the season. That’s loads of time. 

2. Eddie lies 

 

Edit: my mistake the window actually closes in 6 weeks. We’re fucked.

3. Other than a few front runners, no one has done much business due to the Euros and Copa.

4. I don't think anyone has moved yet that I hoped/expected us to target

The best players don’t usually go early in the window unless the club they really want to join wants to sign them.

 

We haven’t got that pull yet so take it as a good sign we are looking at quality players hoping that they look at us favourably as one of the best of the rest as preferred doors close on them.

Starting to look like our transfer window has been compromised by the PSR debacle, then maybe the ownership and staff changes as well.

 

Not saying the window can't still be a good one, but the fact we haven't signed or sold anyone of note most of the way through July is telling.

:lol:Fucking hell this place

Closing in on Miggy/Murphy starting the first few games of the season.

 

I think that could well happen anyway, even if we do sign a new RW before the start of the season. Howe rarely throws newbies in from the start immediately.

A lot of players will be on there holidays anyway. After the euros and copa America so we could be waiting for them to return before getting deals done.

Aye, I’ve been telling myself that our priority targets all went deep in either competition.


Your dreams: “we’re getting Alvarez from City.”

 

Reality: “NUFC proudly welcomes Franco Armani.”

There should be no panic 

Isak signed 26th August 

Barnes signed 24th July

Livramento signed on 8th August

hall signed on 22nd August 

 

How long before those players settled and were regular starters? Barnes and Isak got major injuries early on. It took half a season before Tino was trusted with regular starts and nearly a full season for Hall.

 

I imagine the big signing (if we make one...) will be a right winger and we need him to be ready to make an impact early. To do that, his chances are far higher if we get him in for pre-season.

We're absolutely fucked. Should be some kind of inquest.

Much prefer players to be signed before most of the pre-season games, just seems to make way more sense and was the way it was until we made a window out of what was naturaly the highest trading time of the year anyway.

Cant say as its been an improvement.
