nemtizz Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 1 hour ago, ElDiablo said: We lack athleticism at the back and creativity going forward. We rely on the system to get us in good positions which is fine, but there's a distinct lack of quality in the final decision, pass or shot. The lack of pace and athleticism stops us from being truly able to push up the pitch and pin teams back too. Too many times recently we're caught in two minds and make it easy for the opposition to counter us. CB, DM and RW pls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the paper is called Record and they are looking for £52m. http://sportwitness.co.uk/newcastle-united-best-positioned-club-get-signing-done-magpies-serious-big-deal/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show some respect like, most of the players have played very well for two years or the period they’ve been here since Howe came in. Yes, it was very poor today and it’s been poor for several games but players don’t turn to shit in the space of 4-6 weeks. Also, they’ve mostly been run into the ground or are recovering from injury Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Let’s be honest, Maxi would’ve had his leg snapped clean in two had he been a part of this cursed squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Feels like a big transfer window all of a sudden with season unraveling quickly. I think they’ll back EH all they can, but just hope we don’t try some short term quick fix like Phillips. After watching last few games it’s hard to know where to prioritise at the minute, be interesting to see how they approach it with so many upgrades now seemingly required.

Would have taken a remote controlled traffic cone with wheels a few weeks ago for CM. Quite like the idea of Neves on loan, but that seems to have cooled. LB seems a priority as the moment, so can at least rotate Tripper and Livra for RB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSG Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 No way will we sign a LB with Burn, Tino, Hall, Targett and Livramento on the books. Priority positions are: CM, RW, Striker, CB and keeper. Need to resolve at least a couple of them if we’re to have a chance of top 7 finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronson333 Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 We probably need to sell a CM if we are to get one in. At the moment, we have Bruno, Willock, Longstaff, Joelinton, Anderson, Miley and Tonali on our books. That’s seven for three positions. If we had to sell one who would it be? Carrying eight centre mids is a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Think GK is now a major issue but to be honest I think a wide forward might have the biggest impact, if we could bring somebody top drawer in on the right that might be the route I’d go if funds limited us to one signing.

Carrying eight centre mids is a lot. Given Tonali isn’t likely to have suitors at present, it would be Joelinton - if only for the fact that he’d be likely to bring in the most money, and he’s free of amortisation at this point. Longstaff, Miles and Anderson are HG, you don’t want to be shifting those players. NB I don’t want us to sell Joelinton at the moment. Just answering the hypothetical.
