    Would anyone be surprised? We’ve massively struggled to close deals this summer.

    I agree he would be targeted but he won't be left there thats for sure. For now though he will do a job and he will be happy to be playing

    That may be all good for u23 football but getting roasted fir 45 mins on Saturday can't be good for him. If there's no one else to play he can't be taken out of firing line. A lb I'd a priority anyone who can't see that needs a trip to specsavers

    the poster is Sundered Land. Does anyone know if he hears good stuff?

    So hard to tell who is a WUM. He doesn’t seem to be

    If he's not left he'll be supported by a senior player who isn't in their proper position. Either way gaps appear and we're in trouble.

    Sadly for whatever reason this appears to be the truth. Time for a change of strategy or we'll have a big problem moving forward.

    If this is the case then I’m sorry but this does not look good on the recruitment team, especially with the rumours (whether true or false) about trying for players and failing

    The full backs are supported no matter who they are mate, it's a team game.

    You're like a dog with a bone on this.

    The club are actively bidding for players including full backs ....

    ... you are aware surely.

    Their goal did come down our left, but there were more people than just Neil at fault. We let runners go, onien watched as both Tarikwa and Keane went passed him. Both played a part in the goal. He was clearly targeted though and the sooner we sign a lb the better

    Football Insider will surely know if there’s a hitch and be shouting about it. Not going to throw my toys out from one guy on RTG who won’t elaborate

    Everyone's aware but if they aren't signing (fir whatever reason we aren't aware) we're left weaker. People have agreed full backs are increasingly important in the mode game. We're left doubling up covering for players out of position. It's not a good positon everyone can see that. We can bid all we want we need to sign players.

    Just had a read of RTG there, and if anything is taken seriously off that board, from a group of people upset that people refer to Newcastle United as "The Toon" or "Toon Army" (I call them the Cartoon Army to be fair). Then I think we all need to reassess what we do in life.

    But...if there is a hitch in the Cirkin deal, I hope we've got other plates spinning.

    True others at fault but if decent lb in the cross doesn't happen. For my entire life the mantra is stop the cross strop the goal. Other plate pulled out of positon helping fullbacks too. We'll be so much better off with a settled defence. 3 starters needed imo. All great teams built with good defences.

    OK mate, point taken and understood.

    Can I put it to you this way.

    The better the player the harder it is to sign them ...

    ... does that make any sense to you.

    We did. We then ditched the signing after the medical by all accounts.

    Fingers crossed we get the right players before the weekend so it doesn't cost us. I'd kill for a Joe Bolton and John kay right about now :)
