Could be something, could be nothing. Private jet from St Gallen to Newcastle due in tomorrow morning. Willem Geubbels, 23 y/o French striker, has been linked to a load of Championship clubs this window. Would tie in with the medical rumours. Like I said, could be something but could be nothing.
Gerrin, love airport watch
 
Interesting to read the comments about the difficulty of breaching the gap to the premier league.

It is clear the value of players and squads are higher, and the talent of individuals is very good. However, the beauty of football is that it is a team game. I think a lot of promoted teams recently have gone down the wrong track. Ipswich for example have bought lots of players, when actually they were on a huge crest of a wave already. The strategy for them should have been tweaking what they had. Luton gave us a clue as to how a championship side can still be problematic for a premier league. Sometimes you need to retain the core of the side that has earned you promotion, or the manner in which you earn it.

I remember when Wilder took Sheff Utd up in 2019. He had developed a relatively unique style of play. Folk said it wouldnt work in the prem, but they survived easily and some of the bigger clubs coulnt figure them out. If memory serves he signed on a couple of big fee players - Berge and McBurnie. Many of his championship side, went and had a good premier league campaign.

For me it is not about buying 10 new players and hoping you can blend a team. It is about taking those players you believe can do it, and then giving them a helping hand here or there. Evolution not revolution.

Personally I think it would be 3 or 4 max new first 11 players is all I would want.
Remember Fulham pissing the league then signing about 12 players and going straight back down. It was stupid when they had the base of a good side.

I’ve been convinced all along media guessing who he’s linked with. I reckon it’s championship clubs and one is us
 
Seargent of Norwich should be a player we could get, Akpom exellent we would need another goalie though if Patto went and a strong no nonsence 6'5" defender. They should be in player's faces at corners and crosses. So a Sunderland vs WBA play off final and Tony i predict.
Monty you little devil, I think the same...if we get play offs then we end up against Tone

I have a proper gut feeling it might be that Guebbels. Very specific to be coming in from at Gallen when champ clubs are linked with him on loan/

maybe KS has swooped in
