cambridgeshire canary 4,714 Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) So according to all current reports two players they are trying to bid for and are very interested in are Aubameyang and Ousmane Dembélé.. Them two and Saint-Maximin will be very interesting to see playing in the Championship that's for sure Edited December 23, 2021 by cambridgeshire canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
birchfest 389 Posted December 23, 2021 HAHAHAHAHAH Sorry. They will be linked with everyone and anyone, especially the journey men of the upper levels. Its not going to work out like that for them, and much like Man City they will have to build a foundation and show some upward mobility before they can convince big hitters to turn up. What any player arriving will know is, yes they will be on a huge wage but they won't be playing European football next season (or this) in the lead up to a world cup, and could potentially even end up spending a season in the Championship. You wait, they will be linked with many top top players, but the reality will be people like Barkley etc, those mid tier players who will fill the void of the next 2-3 years before they really lift off. Personally I hope they fall flat on their faces haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remember when they were the richest club in the world for a while? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midlands Yellow 2,727 Posted December 23, 2021 Would be just our luck if Hugill and Idah are poached by them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
duke63 344 Posted December 23, 2021 The only reason quality players will move there in January is to fill their pockets. Any player who wants to play in the World Cup next year would be well advised to stay away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dean Coneys boots 925 Posted December 23, 2021 Chances are they will spend their way to survival though. Which makes our task that bit harder…only 3 sides bottom at Xmas ever pulled it off. Personally I can’t see where the necessary goals will come from Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact it very regularly fails when teams try to spend their way to survival in the summer, let alone half way through a season.

Indy 2,469 Posted December 23, 2021 The money Newcastle will throw at it will see them claw back the four points needed to get bone 17th. If they get two decent players more will follow, getting the first to sign will be the key. Might nudge Leeds down with us! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 2,561 Posted December 23, 2021 I can't imagine many Premier League teams will want to sell to them, although if they offer £30m for Aarons it might be hard to resist. Actually I think there will be very little player movement in January. Already clubs have been hit financially by Covid and I can see more behind closed doors football coming up. I expect most clubs will go with what they have got including us, and I see we have already decided to keep Williams and Gilmour, so that's loans ruled out.
