Armchair Pundit Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 The amount of stories on the news sites being posted with titles like "Newcastle to sign £50m monster", etc, it's laughable, especially when the same news sites were also reporting about out FFP issues days previously.

STM Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 IF we sell someone, we will absolutely be trying to sign someone. I don't see a scenario where we sell a player and dont sign someone. That would be weakening our squad, during an injury crisis, and I've seen nothing from our owners to suggest that they would ever consider doing that. The only justification, would be a potential summer rebuild, where we went a signed 6/7 players and therefore the FFP benefit for selling Miggy would be worth it.

gdm Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Going by Howe's comments he seems far more concerned about players leaving than optimistic of anyone coming in. I’ll be amazed if we sign anyone now. Unbelievable really Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that last paragraph is the case, then we may as well wait until the summer to sell Miggy instead of leaving ourselves short for the remainder of the season. (Unless it’s a ridiculous fee thats being offered). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I think some activity is more likely than no activity. We've bleated on about our difficulties every single transfer window and ultimately done something in the end. I get FFP is more of a restriction now than when we've publicly bemoaned it previously, but I still wouldn't be surprised if it was none out one in. Plus Almiron and Lascelles not featuring yesterday just feels a bit writing-on-the-wall-y. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1892 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I wouldn’t be surprised if Miggy or Wilson goes, with the money freeing up two or three permanent transfers in the late teens/early twenties category to boost the squad. I don’t think the club thinks no new players in and no player sales is the desired outcome by the time the window closes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 What? He’s basically the best possible signing we could make. Don’t even think it’s possible in all honesty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
janpawel Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Yeah think he'd have way better offers than us, plus he is LW which if we did get him would make the Barnes and Gordon deals a bit of a waste ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Eale’s has used the word ‘transformative’ so I’m looking forward to it too. I would imagine Miggy, Wilson, Lascelles out plus contracts of others winding up. Sponsorship coming into play. Proper squad overhaul. Edited January 28 by ExiledGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Felt clear as day again last night that we can't persist with the midfield 3 of Longstaff, Bruno, Miley. It just doesn't really work. Obviously we can hope to get Willock back fit and even Anderson would maybe suit that left mid role better than Miley and Longy but it's a big risk to the end of the season, especially as Bruno will miss 2 possibly 5 games depending on cards he picks up.

Stottie Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Jan 28th, so getting close to the window slamming shut and "Harvey Barnes is like a new signing!" type clutching of straws. All this talk of FFP and balance sheets can't be good for the Premier League's "product". Its like watching the business news or shite like The Apprentice.

You’ve got exactly the same issue with Anderson. No real athleticism or creativity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Disagree on creativity, I think he’s a creative player and very good at finding a yard. Athleticism isn’t great though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Anderson is a different player to Longstaff altogether, like. Very good at taking the ball on the turn in half spaces and I think getting him back will be a big plus for us. Will not improve us defensively but I think he's much more suited to that more advanced LCM role we play than Longstaff or Miley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
