Transfer rumours

[HughieG]

It's January and we're getting nearer the end of the window.

Who are we linked with and who will we sign?

Personally, I'm pretty excited about this rumour.

Yes - if it’s true. A couple of alarm bells from the article if he thinks we’re not a big enough club and comparing himself to former great players.

ooof the latest rumour is that are now actively chasing Clare Balding from Everton and Frazer going as part ex

I don't doubt that he thinks our club is great, I just think he is considering his options. Doesn't mean that if he signs, he doesn't want to be here, won't perform etc. To be fair, most players of his quality will be wondering if NUFC currently is the right move or if they should sign for more established teams that are guaranteed Champions League football etc. That's just the stage we're at.

If we don't sign him, we will sign someone else who will lift the quality of the squad, and in a couple of years (I hope!) most players won't think twice about signing for us.

Milinkovic Savic a class act he would be an amazing signing but i doubt he will join now but maybe in the summer if we are in the champions league.

Don't know about anyone else but i took much more notice of transfer speculation when Ashley owned the club even though he spent bugger all. Probably because we were so desperate for new players all the time. Now we've got very capable people running things who want the best for the club

That's very true Albert. It's a question of wait and see.

Considering that every window up to now has been very positive and top class players brought in that we didn't expect to have makes me think that everthing will be being done and declarations will only be made when evrything is tied up.

In other words prepare to be pleasantly surprised.

Eddie (and his staff) is a tremendous advert for signing for Newcastle. The probability that he will make you a better player should be a real pull for any player with ambition.

That's an interesting perspective Senor Lobavic!

I understand your mindset. Previously we lived in a world of desperate misery, delusional optimistic that some how the fat slug was actually gonna do the right thing and bring in some quality players, clinging to any and every snippet of nonsense.

How foolish we were but like any abused partner in a toxic relationship, we just applied our make-up, told the neighbours we walked into a door and carried on in denial!

Declan Rice was mentioned on talk shiite. Available in the summer being linked with Chelsea and Arsenal.

I'd like players to want to be in on the ground floor now as the future is bright, surely everyone can see that?

These fkers who will only sign when we are in the CL smack of mercenaries.
