Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[PaulWinch again]

We are still and injury away from struggling in the centre of defence and midfield. A loan in those 2 areas would have been ideal, but beyond that we are pretty well set.

Yep that is the worry.

Somewhere between rabid optimism and total depression would be welcome on this thread guys

I'm feeling more confident and assured about something resembling success than I have for several years...credit to Dr Tony for putting the money where his mouth is and being so hands on and RDM/SC/KB for identifying the right sort of players to get us out towards the top of this league... and whoever did the work on shifting out some of the deadwood - a bloody medal.

Now, win lots of games please!

UTV!

Biggest spenders according to the BBC -

Us : £59m
Newcastle : £57m
Norwich : £10.5m

That's quite a jump from second to third.

When things settle down and over a long season you would have to think that the quality we have invested in will start to make a difference. There has been tremendous upheaval at the club and it is showing itself on the pitch through our inconsistency. However we can neither win or lose promotion at this stage, and our competition, Newcastle aside just don't have the capacity or resources much beyond their first XI. It should make a difference later on the season as sides start picking up injuries and suspensions. Still going to be tough and nobody is going to roll over for us, but if we get a bit of momentum as Newcastle have started to do we should be just fine.

Agree very much Frank.  For the first time in nearly ten years I feel we have a plan. We have almost assembled a full team to do a job.  The campaign to climb back to the top flight starts here.

It is quite a lot of faith in RdM by Tony too, considering Newcastle have recouped somewhere near 84m of their spend.

[garyshawsknee]

Im happy with our options, especially upfront, just a tad worried that we are two or so injuries away from Gardener and Baker from starting, think we could do with another centre back.

No idea how they got those numbers. Assuming today was a swap, I think PWS's number yesterday was around £32.5m with ins and outs.

Be interesting to see how that spend compares to our Chinese owned mega club local rivals the Bitters and the Dingles

I'd guess these are best-guess aggregate spend without allowing for sales.

And last I saw, Newcastle were in profit on transfers.

[Matt Collins]

Yes they must be gross spend figures

I think we need to allow a little time for the team to settle down. We've more or less bought a whole new side and that will inevitably lead to inconsistency

But from xmas on we need to be motoring - afcon or no afcon

Add the fees received from Gana, Clark, Sinclair to PWS's net figure from yesterday and today's £7m approx for Adomah and you're pretty much at their figure.

I'm not sure how safe it is to assume that today was a swap either.

If we can get past midnight without Ayew leaving, and him having the right attitude now on in,  that will be the best businees of the window as I was convinced he'd be off. He's the best player in the division when on song.

Watch the bugger leave now....

Best player in the division? He isnt evern the best striker at the club
