    Panic over signings

    People worrying we haven?t signed anyone.

    We can?t until July, or it would count on the year 24/25 figures.

    Earliest will be July 1st, calm down, it?s just how it is and not the club being slow.

    We're all aware that Geordies are an emotional bunch. However, I don't think people have a clue of how things work.

    This isn't football manager.

    Plus there are so many agent provocateurs, under cover mackems & the MSM muppets stirring the pot that I don't believe there is a mass collective rage in reality. On Twitter of course but then if twitter was real life the world would be in a far worse place that the dumpster fire we're living through currently.

    Aye, that's a good point, Ian.

    That being said, I don't necessarily blamr folk for being a bit jittery given our last 3 windows.

    I didn't think we'll sign anyone until Jan anyway.

    I'm also thinking that lots of the "we want noise" has been media driven, we have no basis for actually believing that is who Eddie wanted apart from Geuhi.

    IF by end of July we've not signed anyone my concern level will be significantly higher though.

    I reckon we could still make signings and announce them now, just not start the admin/contracts til the1st.

    Still not concerned yet though.

    The word I'm hearing, which is as meaningless as anything you'll read online, hear on TalkSh!te or see on Sky Sports PR, is that people in the club are actually laughing at the fact that the MSM Muppets and rumour morons haven't picked up on any of our actually international targets.

    The Domestic interest is well knows, it's a small pool. Eddie has said himself "there is maybe a dozen players out there that actually make the squad better. We aren't going to just sign anyone."

    Guehi signs or doesn't, I don't care. I'm not bothered by FOMO. We aren't missing out on anything. Jacob Murphy, Joelinton, Gordon, Schar, Tino & Hall have all proven that no matter who we bring in Eddie and the coaches turn potential into real quality.

    Conflicting reports.

    I think Craig Hope and some other geezer have differing reports out.

    Either way the geezer is out the door in 6 days. We're not signing anyone before the end of the month deadline by the look of things as we're waiting for the new financial year to start.

    Not fussed regarding Mitchell's presence or departure. He'll not benefit the club in anyway before he departs.

    Disappointing really.
