January transfer window

So that's that according to Edwards and hope now

 

Chronicle now reporting Shelvey to Forrest. They really are a **** show these days for local news, reporting everything miles behind everyone else.

 

Newcastle are done for incoming players

 

What?? He doesn’t want the asphalt now??

 

WHO THE **** STARTED REUBEN LOFTUS CHEEK RUMOUR?

Whoever it was is a twat, that's now Give Me Sport reporting it

 

We don’t need a replacement for him

 

What's that about a delivery to Ashington?

 

Absolutely this. Mind blown.

 

But, but, he's an England international and has experience of winning the league cup...

 

That's the safest thing you could have said.......Afghanistan about to get new road surfaces

 

Do you have to post pictures of your players ****ing themselves

 

So........How many more before Tuesday night?

I'll go 3 including Ashby

 

I think 1 more in - most likely a midfielder (so that's Kuol, Karius, Gordon, Ashby, +1 altogether this window).

With Shelvey departing (as well as Wood & Darlow).

I'd be happy with that

 

Edited

 

I honestly cannot fathom why we would ever need to replace Shelvey.

Might be Howe trying to squeeze another signing out of the owners.

 

I'll explain it simply.

Despite one or two halfwits on here, Bruno is actually a deep lying playmaker that roams around in front of the defence and slightly deeper of the midfield. His major asset is spotting runs from the wingers and pinging a ball into the space their running into or switching play from the centre to either flank with a sweeping ball out to the full backs.

He is also happy to press the opponents and tackle opponents (Shelvey never did this) and occasionally carry the ball (Shelvey never did this either). What he isn't, is an attacking midfielder that's going to go on mazy driving runs and dribble past a group of centre backs and stick the ball in the back of the net.

He's ****ing mint where he is, lets let him get on with it. Therefor Shelvey is his backup and if he goes we need another body in there, or an alternative would be a combative ball winning defensive midfielder as an extra option.

Yes he's capable of making late runs into the box and getting a shot off but the majority of his shots come from deeper and the edge of the area.

Here ends today's lesson

 

That's all well and good but it's like saying you have a bicycle available to replace a jumbo jet.
