Transfer deadline day

[Geordie_Jacko]

Should be a very interesting one for us Toon fans (should). With the likes of Riviere, De Jong, Hanley all being sold and with Lazaar and Colback looking to follow suit, it looks like we are finally able to bring a couple new additions to the squad. I'm hoping for 3 new faces in and would personally like a new LB a holding midfielder and a Striker. All outfield players for me please . Don't think we need a new GK and would like to see Krul back between the sticks at some point. (Don't no what's gone on there with him)
So how many faces would others like? A few or maybe just 1 marquee signing? Either way I'm actuall really excited for tomorrow. Just hope it doesn't go to **** like the majority of this window 🤞

I can't get excited about the final days of transfer windows any more, because time and again we've expected big things and in the end we've made last minute sales but not signings.

I'd like to see 3 in, and feel we need a new number 9 and 10, but realistically I expect 1 new permanent signing, then perhaps 1 or 2 loans.

Worst case scenario? I honestly would not be surprised if we sold Gayle at the 11th hour and didn't buy a replacement, then got someone like Remy in on loan to 'replace' him.

I'm quite optimistic, as it goes.

I'd like to see a LB who would go straight into the team. I'd love to see a striker but I suspect Zoggs is right and that Joselu is Gayle's replacement as the main man...although I do think we'll get someone else in if we do sell him. I'd like either another creative midfielder or a holding player allowing either Shelvey or merino to get forward.

I know exactly what you mean and yet at the same time, i'll be keeping a check on the sites etc. just on the chance.

We've been told we needed to offload players and we've done that, with more to go as said.

I'm hopefully of getting at least 2 in hopefully 3. I'd take 3 even if it meant one was a loan - which i think will be Kennedy or Remy personally.

If we can get a number 10 in and another striker (i think we will if Gayle goes) it'll have been an ok end to the window.

krul, Haidara and saivet need to be gone too... but hopefully the wages freed off will mean we can bring some reinforcements in.

I have a feeling that we will get 2 or 3 in. I definitely think we'll get in a keeper and also see Darlow leave as a latter hours transfer out, along with the others mentioned.
I reckon we'll bring in a striker and a left back to finish it all off.
2,678 players out and 3 in.

Something like that.

I'd be interested to see how Mbemba would fare for us as a holding mid - he's played there at international level, and was used as a DM by Anderlecht. We're doing OK for centre backs and I really hope we get a proper LB in so he doesn't have to keep filling in there in Dummett's absence!

That post alone has made me less excited lol. I just hope with everyone at the club bleating on about needing to sell in order to buy surely we are going to buy a couple now. Hopefully one might even be a first choice Rafa target 😂 Who am I kidding .

Perez and Townsend would do nicely but palace are dreaming if they think he is worth 27m

[ashingtoon62]

Townsend isn worth £27 even, please no!!! One trick pony who's ship has sailed...
