We have been told that?s this is going to be a big window with a number of new signings and as per the last 3 we continue to be let down and all the names we were linked with going elsewhere
We?re told that the new stadium would be revealed in the spring it?s now June and nothing
This has been a great year to support Newcastle but come on owners and bosses PULL YOUR FINGERS OUT and do something
I would recommend a bit of perspective on the situation.Quote:

So the competition no one is interested in can try and leech more talent to make it slightly more interesting.
City - Poor season for them, a rebuild was always on the cards, Plus they're too in the World club Cup. Yet they pulled out of the Wirtz deal due to the insane price tag. City, walk away from a transfer because it's too rich for their blood? That should be seen as far more significant that NEWCASTLE AINT SIGNED ANYONE, WE'RE A JOKE.
Liverpool - League winners, pots of cash, the swagger of champions and that new title smell wafting in the nostrils of potential targets. Needed to replace TAA desperately. Doing that. Looks like they're getting their pants pulled right down and romanced without lube by Bayer 04 Leverkusen. Ze former Nazi chemical warfare and human torture agency turned pharmacy's football club are insisting on 150m Euros. They've rejected 125m Euros.
We are not in this kind of conversation and nor should we be.
The Filth - Like a drunken uncle clutching the winnings of a 5 horse acca, these clowns have staggered into the transfer market in usual fashion and throwing the winnings on the floor as they trip up the step.
Eddie Howe - "We are have to act quickly and decisively"
What does he mean?
He doens't mean we do like the filth are doing. Go out and sign players well above their value and throw insane salaries at them. That's not what he meant at all.
Let's take Joao Pedro as an example. We had him signed from Watford. It was done. He was waiting to travel to do his medical at NUFC.
Why we didn't sign him? What happened?
NUFC decided against the transfer due to a better option becoming available.
In short Sociedad changed their mind and decided half way through the window to accept the Isak bid.
What did NUFC do? They acted quickly and decisively to get their 1st choice target that summer.
What's going on in the world of football right now?
Aside from the club involved in this World Club Cup & A few desperate clubs - the filth.
Most of the clubs our targets are at are on holiday or are doing their end of season audits. When the window opens again on the 16th is when all the clubs across Europe will begin their work on transfers.
We all want to sign players and we've all got favourites. We've got wrapped up in the hype which is addictive. Bryan Bummo would have been great to Newcastle United, don't get me wrong but the 65-70m quid doesnt at all represent value. The quarter of a million quid a week wage is frankly insane.
I think we all need to take a leaf from Eddie Howe's book and not get too high when things are good and too low when things don't go our way.
It's day 4. I don't doubt we'll get players in soon.
Keep calm and trust in Eddie.Quote:

Chillin like a villian. The transfer guru Leopards are waiting in the trees to pounce on the best targets. I'm convinced.
If this was 3 days to the window closure I'd still be chilled. They haven't put a foot wrong in the transfer market yet.
Keep the faith.
I would say this short term window will have inflated prices due to the reason of the window - the FIFA club cup, meaning these teams want their squads sorted? quickly, hence 10m for the last month of Trent?s contract.
We may also need to wait until the end of this accounting period ourselves due to PSR drop offs.
And all these links are media links, not anyone the club has said we?re in for. Chances are, they were never under consideration whether we as fans think they should be or not.
trust the process man. Dont listen to the media. Not a single person outside of our club knows who we are after.Quote:

This is something quite unique about us as a club these days. No leaks. Shows what a content camp we are. Everyone has each others backs. Wonderful to see.Quote:

Further back, we knew there was no hope of us signing anyone at all. Should there be players coming in they weren't anyone we had any excitement about. The one window, the French revolution was a stunning surprise yet only happen to avoid another relegation.
We've gone from Penfold, no clue, no news.
To leaking like a Sieve due to the hatred and toxicity of the club, last days of Rome and all that.
To this Newcastle United where everyone is 100% professional and totally committed to ensuring the club achieves greatness.
Superb to see!
Over-riding message.
It's gonna be a summer window of exciting signing, twist & turns and a whole hell of a lot of Media BS.
Don't let the actions of other clubs make you covetous or anxious.
We'll get what we need and more or less what we want.
Keep the faith!
This is why they have got such fine players in at reasonable prices under the radar, look at the current values of the likes of Gordon, Tonali, Bruno and the rest of the snips.Quote:
