January window….

I have this very odd sensation during a transfer window. Have not had this for well over a decade.

is it actually… enjoyment? This isn’t meant to happen - I’m a Newcastle fan!

 

I can't stop refreshing twitter FFS I chose the wrong month to stay off the beer...

 

I completely hate Villa and always want them to go down, however Gérard is doing a decent job there... one can but hope it all goes to **** though.

 

Howe has come out and said that signings are not being offered relegation release clauses in contracts. He want players to take responsibility for their actions and wants a collective effort to move up the table. Players looking for escape clauses do not demonstrate the correct mentality for the long term ambitions of the club.

 

Howe wants solanke

 

Wow that is a good thing if true.

Saves us from the Kluivert/Owen/Viduka/*insert other mercenary ***** mentality. Tbh I think if we had got Courtinho he would have been like that.

 

I think that's a joke mate. It's what Darren Farley uses to take the piss out of him. Solanke is not better than what we have. No point in signing players unless they are better than our best player in that position.

 

Tell us how you really feel chippy

 

Origi and Solanke are latest gossip. Would snap up either, but don't see them wanted to come tbh, Bournemouth likely to go up, and Origi seemingly happy as back up at Liverpool.

Loan for Origi? Still can't see it sadly.

 

See, I think Origi would crawl over broken glass to come here. He's rejected a contract offer from Liverpool as he doesn't get game time. Wants to stay in the PL and that's why he has delayed decisions on offers from abroad.

 

I’d rather Gayle than Slinky

 

Well if so snap him up in a heartbeat. Would be surprised if he comes but very happy.

 

I think we need to be aiming higher but I won't be complaining whoever they think is going to improve the squad

 

Slinky can at least navigate an escalator, Gayle would have 2 broken legs and be in a coma if he attempted that.

 

Same here, my productivity at work is being impacted ha ha

 

We're in the now, it's about what we can get right now that will do a job for us.

Origi seems to perform whenever he's on the pitch for Liverpool and can clear cut it.

Solanke has a slight question mark over him as he didn't get goals in the Prem, but was very young then and has since done very well, albeit in the Champ.

 

Not to fussed about strikers tbh even though Wilson is out for a while. We are scoring an average of one a game but conceding more than 2 so we really need to stop leaking goals and the defense has to be the priority for me - 2 CB's of a high (like really high standard). Then concentrate on a striker and maybe a LB and then if available a worldly ball playing defensive minded midfielder.

 

We can sing Do The Botman should he arrive.

 

I swear to God if everyone in the stadium turns the bartman into our pozman I'm blaming you.
