Hola all! dont know if i missed something but in todays chron it says a couple of times weve alredy agreed to buy a player in the summer? http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newc...an-pardew-says-derek-llambias-72703-30493670/ "plans going forward and confirmed that a deal for one cash signing next summer has already been sanctioned by Toon tycoon Mike Ashley. theres also another mention in a diff article but i cant find it!
It'll either be a lb (Pieters/cissokho?) or a cm replacement for Guthrie if he doesn't get a new contract. Also, it just says sanctioned, so Ashley has said we can sign him, not that we have.
Almost all the kids are getting released this summer so I think thats where most of the focus is going to be, but it has to be recognised by now that we need a centre back as a priority. Hopefully a dedicated CB at that but I could see a utility CB/LB coming in.
