Monroe Transfer 0 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Wonder if the policy is 1-2 new players a year, but every sold player to be replaced (within reason). I don't get why they'd put a limit on it at all though. Managers should simply bring in who they need, if the club can afford it. With that said - I could live with 1-2 players a window (not a year) if I felt the squad was deep enough. A club like Chelsea don't need to go out and get loads of new players because their squad is so deep as it is. They can pick and choose 1-2 new players who will really add something, whereas a club like Man Utd needs several changes and will probably get them within the next window or 2. To be honest I don't think Kinnear has any integrity so I don't really trust a word the man says, even if it's via official club publications.

acrossthepond 699 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Aye if it really was around £9m we should snap their hands off. If and only if we have any plans to get a replacement, since selling Cisse will leave us with exactly one senior striker we actually own. I don't understand how our attackers have been so neglected for so long. We've needed reinforcements up front ever since Best and Lovenkrands went and we've never got them or even looked close to getting them. Cisse came in, aye, but then his form went to shit and Ba was sold, and since then we've never looked convincing up top. 2 goals in his last 10 for Remy as well, and both of them against a side reduced to 9 men. He looks like he could not be bothered whatsoever - no surprise, since he surely won't be wearing black and white next season, thank God. We need replacements and we need them badly.

Howay 12449 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Aye of course, I'd expect two strikers to be brought in if we sold Cisse tbh. It is odd tbh, as having a good strike force is one of the best ways to ensure you do well in the league. You'd think that would be something that interests Ashley.

They also tend to cost more versus other positions though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8951 Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Continued contact between Montpellier and Newcastle for Remy CabellaGet French Football News understands that Newcastle United have remained on contact with Ligue 1 side Montpellier over the possible transfer of attacking midfielder and talisman Remy Cabella and that the Premier League side are closer than ever to making a bid for the player. Talks have continued over the past days with Montpellier making it abundantly clear that only an offer of at least €20m (including bonuses) will allow Newcastle to prise the player away from them this January. We await to see if Newcastle actually make that step to put a formal offer together or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4949 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I'm sceptical about this because he plays in a position that no one has identified as one we really need to strengthen. Unless our policy is to buy any and all good players if we can get them cheaply, regardless of whether or not they're needed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Closer than ever to bidding. On the verge. Considering. I'm deffo missing some but I've never seen so many roundabout ways to conjure up transfers in a single window. We aren't going to sign anyone ffs.

Howay 12449 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Ohhhh boy I'm so excited about the prospect of us edging towards this bid. Just hope we can get this one across that line, it fucked us over too many times last window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4949 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 So the general consensus then is that the club can fuck off until it actually signs someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12449 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 So you aren't grateful to have a club that's willing to possibly entertain the idea of making a bid for someone? Halfway through the window and we're almost going to make a bid, guess that's not enough for some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inochi 0 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 To be fair, the reporting is nothing to do with the club. We do seem to keep our business largely under the radar, so it's left to these kind of outlets to be as non-committal with their bullshit as possible.
