Don't forget Hope was completely blindsided by Isak. All of the info he has might not be all of what's going on. 

 

Not saying we're defo gonna pull something out of the hat, but I'm saying if we are he likely has as much idea as we do.

Aye, as Howay was saying, Ashworth seems to keeps his cards very close to his chest regarding transfers. Most of the rumours seem to be originating with selling clubs. I don't think we'll see any panic buying today but as we've seen before, one transfer can start the merry go round and one of our targets could become available, at least on loan.

When you're actually interested in buying there's nothing to gain and plenty to lose by leaking any information early doors. Ashley era Newcastle they may have seen it as placating the supporters (despite it likely doing the opposite for many) but these days a deal that's wrapped up without the early knowledge of the media is where it's at. That's not to say that I'm expecting anyone, but if won't come as a big surprise if more business is done. As has been inferred it will just be moving the planned signings a little forward. I am hopeful that we can clear out some more bench warmers, though there's a school of thought that says they could be gaining in value as our club collectively improves. Somewhat optimistic.

Given that there's a World Cup and a mid season break we're a lot closer to January than it appears.

 

Id like one or two in but it's not the end of the world if we can't get them. We've had two transfer windows.....a year ago we couldn't afford a loan.

Saw something on twitter suggesting that Howe has money available to him if he wants it, but frankly I can't see us getting involved in the chaos of transfer deadline day unless, as has been said, one of our long-term targets suddenly becomes available at the price we're happy with.

 

Wouldn't be shocked to see some kids brought into our youth team, wouldn't be shocked to see a loan deal struck for a fringe/squad player, but can't imagine us buying someone for the first team now.
