We aren't getting anyone in January. Howe has been mugging us all off. He is the new Steve Bruce. Aye Eddie has said Isak has told him he wants to roll wor sleeves up. It's all downhill from here lads! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougle 3234 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 It’s all media bullshite. Fucking bollocks. What happens happens when it happens. Pisses me off that genuinely intelligent (ish) blokes get titillated by this wank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMXXVIII 1272 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 In a weird turn of events he would be like a new signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamTaylor5 815 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Just to clarify, my last post was a joke. Although I think this is clear, you can never be to sure with some people. What is bizarre is that last year, I wasn't sure about Howe and 'I knew' exactly who we needed and what to do to fix the mess. I wished away Christmas then sat panicking, even after we got Trippier (even I grasped that he was a great signing but not where I would have started). This year is such a treat. We might get the next Bruno, Botman or Isak. I am loving these players arriving a few days after I have heard their name for the first time. Not only are they top players on the up, rather on the way back down but we also don't seem to spend weeks hearing about something that does not happen. The closest that happened was waiting between windows to go back in for Botman. I think what I have enjoyed the most is seeing how Howe has transformed Joelinton, Almiron and to a degree the likes of Willock and Longstaff. My first real manager for Newcastle was Bobby Robson and I never thought I would have the same level of respect or blind sense if loyalty in a manager here again. I genuinely have no feelings as to whether we are/ or should go in big or wait till the summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garang Kuol has a UK work permit I can understand why people thought he wouldn’t qualify but since we agreed to sign him he’s been a regular starter for his club and made two appearances at the World Cup. He mightn’t automatically qualify but you’d imagine there should be no problem getting him a work permit on appeal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be shipping out Murphy or Fraser and getting Kuol on the bench for the 2nd half of the season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 29474 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I certainly wouldn’t be loaning him out if we can avoid it. Even if he’s not ready for the first team it would do no harm to have him work with Eddie Howe and get acclimatised to English football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 16505 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Hugely inexperienced Aussie teenagers aren’t the answer to anything at NUFC in January 2023. I doubt we’ll be signing a back up to Wilson with Isak back on the scene soon either . The “23 WORLD CLASS PLAYERS EDDIE NOW!!!” merchants need to to pipe down, it’s not happening. Wood is limited to say the least but Maddison isn’t a like for like replacement either, then you’ve got folk hollering on about upgrades to Willock and Longstaff, cover at full back etc it’s not all going to be solved in this window, it never is in January, it’s always tricky. We might get Maddison type (agree with ewerk, can’t see them letting him go) a midfielder and a fullback. It might push us over the line into 4th. Which is the best we can hope for this season iyam. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6227 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 If Maddison was involved in that squad yesterday we would have won. I'd seriously spunk a load of cash on him now (providing he fits in with intensity of this team). Tielemans would be good too but think he is seeing his contract out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
