January Transfer Window 2023

[DanB90]

Honestly think we should be in for wingbacks because I think frank will stick with 5 at the back but atm we absolutely cannot have mykolenko and Coleman in those spots, won't end well

I reckon McNeil could work well as a wingback.

I base this on nothing other than pure hope that we haven’t flushed £15m down the drain.

He'd have more chance of getting a decent cross into the box than Mykolenko. He's fairly solid defensively as well.

Him and bring Spence in on loan, start using Garner too

He is injured.

A bit of a Marcos Alonso-lite? Unlikely, but could be worth a try.

 

[Goodisongang]

Not sure how true this is

Sure frank said the other day there is a budget,

 

[Ivo]

Newcastles 3 strikers cost £62m, £25m and £20m. Over 100m on strikers. They have a 211m net spend since the takeover with less turnover than us in past few years (from what I could see on Google). That’s more than our net spend over last 5 years.

Yet we can’t spend. FFP does not work.

Or am I missing something?

Never mind them strikers, wish we'd have gone for trippier and guimeres. Would be our best two players by a mile.

 

[blueloon]

I watched Coventry v Wrexham game , our supposed target Viktor Gyökeres came on in the first half, he took his goal well and looked sharp and lively . A different striker, more in the Maupay mould, than DCL/ Simms , not sure he’s what we need but of course the questions are is he better than what we got…and can we afford him.
The best Coventry player was Casey Palmer , I haven’t seen much of him since his Chelsea youth days, quite a decent player , not likely to set the PL on fire, more of a Iwobi replacement if he’s out long term.

 

[Verbal Kint]

Apparently as part of the Patterson payments I’m told. Not trying to be itk, just info I’ve been told today

Sounds feasible, I'd love it personally. He's poor and I can't think of anybody else I'd rather give him too ?

 

[billyblue80]

I'm not sure I would fancy a player who agreed to join us back in September.

Not only would he be a bit disloyal to his present club but he would also be incredibly thick.

The big problem right now is we are a really hard sell.

A club at civil war, a manager who may not be here by the end of the month, players who are deemed crap after 2 months and the prospect of relegation looming. Where do I sign?

On the flip side say you are a good player and aren't playing at another club and it's a loan deal, you would fancy yourself to get regular first team football and a platform in this league

He isn't quick enough maybe as an eight? I can see it

 

[Pat Butcher]

He is injured.

Hope he get paid SSP, too many players we have are on the sick

 

[MikeH72]

We aint going down

Are you basing this on any evidence at all or are you just saying it and presenting it as fact for a laugh?

They make more money than us through sponsors and gate receipts for a start. Their wage bill has probably been a quarter of ours over that period too. We don’t make any money as a business, we lose £100m+ every single year, that’s why we’re in breach of P&L and they’re not.

He is a grade 1 turnip him.
