The January 2018 transfer window thread

He’s worse than what we have.

[Jintsay 2]

Totally agree. But can and will be better than what we have in a year or 2. Hence why I'd take him as one for the future and not one to help keep us up this season.

[beatty 24]

But we need players to guarantee our survival in the next 6 months.

[Jintsay 2]

Yep. This is what I am saying. There is a lot of talk of taking Kenedy on loan. I would take him on a loan deal with an option to buy. I would not take him on a half season then return option as it will do nothing to improve our chances of staying up.

[acrossthepond 877]

I wouldn't spend a penny on him if we had Man City's budget, let alone the £10 asda voucher budget Rafa's going to get this January. 

[ewerk 30633]

Aye, I don’t think he has the discipline to make it.

As I'm sure I've already stated, you're not allowed to complain until 18:00 UTC tomorrow.

8 days in and not even a sniff of a deal.

Panic on the streets of Tyneside

Hang Mike Ashley, Hang Mike Ashley, Hang Mike Ashley

Anyone heard from Trooper?  Hope he's ok.

[TheGingerQuiff 2412]

Wonder when the Luiz deal is going to complete

We're 7 days away from Rafa's first deadline of the 15th. Yet even as late as last friday he was still waiting to see what/if he had a budget. It makes you wonder if Ashley wants Rafa to walk away 

[rogerbarton 24]

Truth is Ashley just doesn't give enough of a shit. He's got more than a full-time job going on elsewhere, and doesn't really want anything to do with NUFC other than completing a satisfactory sale. He definitely won't want Rafa to walk, as it makes us a more saleable asset, but equally he's got no desire to invest.

Thought Rafa said the 20th?

Ideally by the 15th the latest hy the 20th are Rafa's deadlines

[wykikitoon 20200]

What's peoples thoughts then?

For me, I dont see us bringing in anyone.

[Dougle 3338]

My thoughts are the same as yours Wyki.... nowt.... the fat controller is playing his gambling hand to the max.... once again

We all know the way this plays out Ashley will never change man 

[adios 717]

Baffled tbh. I don't understand Mike Ashley; his actions are those of a very silly, very petty man and I find it difficult to imagine such a consistent simpleton.

 

But mostly I'm filled with thoughts of hot pokers and the fat cunt's voluminous anal cavity.

 

We'll likely see a couple of underwhelming loan siignings and barely scrape through the relegation fight.

[trooper 940]

I'm already there i'm a step ahead of Ashley im waitihg for Rafa's reaction when he realises he's been taken for a mug again.

Yeah, I was thinking along the same lines. Particularly with regard to the Edward II method of execution

[Dr Gloom 21941]

it's suicide not to bring in anyone. i'd have us one of the favourites for the third relegation spot if we don't bring anyone. rafa is working miracles as it is, but the teams around us will surely strengthen. stoke may end up with a a new manager bounce

[adios 717]

The Madness of Big Mike the Turd tbh.
