    Article from the Chronicle.

    http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-board-warn-fans-chance-6478215

    Why does this not surprise us. We'll get all the normal excuses but the way I see it is we are currently 8th, possibly we may get higher but can't see us going below 10th. The fat one will be more than happy with this and therefore no signings necessary.
    I can see Obertan, Marveaux, Taylor and Jonas going but as these very rarely play for us now not a gap to fill. We'll plod on until the end of the season then start to look around.
    Why do we alert all other clubs to our targets when other clubs just get on with it , then announce their signings?

    Bear in mind though mate, the Chronicle has a big axe to grind now with NUFC.
    NUFC will have been trying to manage expectations that's all.

    Having Campbell and Ferguson back would be like having two new players, but they're out on loan till May.

    So its not actually a statement from the Club, other than minutes taken from the latest fans forum meeting,
    I don't see what's actually changed right player, right price and we might buy.

    The board explained its view was that the current squad is stronger than it has been for some time. It was stated that if the right player became available for the right price, perhaps the club would bring someone into the squad. If not, it would not add to it.

    The squad is stronger?
    who was the centre half we signed in the summer and the back up forward we bought to replace shola etc ?
    If true its a farce

    The squad might not be as strong as we would like, but surely its the strongest its been since we got promoted.

    Strong enough to keep us up and move upward and onward next season.

    Jim Bowen once described Bullseye as "the second-best darts-based game show on television". There was no others.
