    In fairness, I can see why Phoney and Andy are worried, given our lack of first-team signings over the last three windows and PSR meaning we haven't got any leeway when making signings-we can't afford-literally as well as figuratively-to overpay or make any mistakes.

    That being said, I'm not worried. We'll do some very good business in this window.

    I get it, like I said previously. It's understandable. Us Geordies' are an emotional bunch.

    However, transfer windows non sequitur events.

    In reality, it's not an accumulation. Our frustrations at the lack of incoming signings over the last 3 windows don't have any baring on this window. It has no baring on what the players think or feel.

    If I were to guess, obviously this means nothing and I have Sh!t for brains. The only thing that matters to the players is:

    1. Qualification for the Champions League
    2. Winning a Trophy - being League Cup Champions Olay Olay Olay
    3. Being part of a happy stable winning group
    4. Having a highly motivated & tactically genius level manager who's insane ambition matches their own
    5. Salary not money grabbing but in terms of being paid what they are worth - Value - like 3 ties into being valued and respected

    From what I know of high performing individuals in business and the retired ex-Pro's I've engaged with that is what i came to know about the character. More or less of course, not all are the same.

    I absolutely agree with your points, Raga.


    I do, though, think the players will look at the lack of first-team signings over the past 3 windows and, at the very least, it would give them pause for thought.
