does anybody actually expect....

.... any signings?

any we do get would be last minute bargain / panic signings.

most of the day will be spent trying to ship out Krul, Colback, Haidara, Saivet, Lazaar etc.

then there could be the added bonus of selling Gayle or Mitro to end another window in profit.

I've remained as positive as possible throughout all the unrest and rumours, but I'm feeling extremely underwhelmed at the moment.

I still fail to see how anybody can blame Rafa. he set out his plans and they have not been executed.

it could be a long long season.

I do expect us to get players in. At least 1 permanent and 1 loanee in, preferably 2 signed permanently but at this stage i'd settle for two.

I don't think Gayle/Mitro will go unless we have a replacement signed.

a squad player on loan,with 2 or 3 going out

the southurn plastic's wall paper at sports(socks to c0cneys) direct HQ will get a few more quid in the coffers!

ashleys skript wrighters are preparing a tearfull sky interview as we speak :D

as I said, panic signings.

Southampton's reserve left back on loan? (latest to be linked)

I still think we are more bothered about who we can get OUT of the door

Dear me!

sky now claiming Lucas Perez is the most likely player to join Newcastle today

If we dont sign players today, it will be a season in the bottom 3.

Lads, what you're forgetting now is we now have an ambitious manager in control who has full responsibility of who he wants to sign...

These last 2 summers have been our most productive yet with Rafa in charge and that's why I'm sure we'll get at least 1 good addition through the door today, ideally 2 or 3.

I think we'll sign a left back and a striker... Maybe 2 if Gayle is sold.

Chin up and have faith, yes they control the money but Rafa does have a budget with players in mind and I'm sure he's gonna help get the job done today and as long as Charnley has the capacity to hold a phone call conversation then we'll get players in and out the door.

Lazaar and Colback will defo go, still surprised Krul hasn't gone but tbh I think Rafa only wanted Reina rather than actually feeling he needed another keeper and the tabloids have gone with it and linked us to every keeper going, so unless Reina is joining us instead of PSG I don't think we'll sign another keeper.

I want to see Woodman given a chance tbh.

Either way there's gonna be positive activity today!

I admire your optimism, but, I don't share it.

I think somewhere in between. A bit of activity, more out than in and a surprise we didn't (or most of us) expect coming in.

To be fair, every time i've seen Targett play he's been decent, wouldn't mind getting him in.
