Not going to bother reading that.
It clearly won't be a direct NUFC quote that we want marquee signings.
And if we did, then of course they won't be cheap - otherwise they wouldn't be marquee signings.
It's precisely this type of lazy journalism that I'll be looking to avoid between now and the transfer window closing.

He was directly asked about marquee signings in his press conference. His answer was certainly more ambiguous than the headlines will suggest, but he did give the answer:

"There would be players we’d love to bring in that would be classified in that bracket I’m sure."

"For me, it’s more about the role they can fulfil in the team, whether that’s viewed positively or as a marquee signing then great."

"I’m not in my mind thinking, ‘We have to have one of those players that ticks that box for the supporters’. As much as I’d love to do that, it’s about finding the right player in the right position who I think makes us better."

<cheers>

So basically journos putting words in his mouth so he can give them a headline they already want to write.

What's he supposed to say "no, we don't want big signings"?

This is why I don't read their ****e.

Anyway, as I said the other day, I might just stay off rhis thread until the transfer window closes. I don't want to put a downer on anyone enjoying those kind of headlines and articles. For me it's just cheap tricks to sell stories, but I appreciate for others it's a positive sign. So I'll just not comment. <cheers>
