Not doing any business

[Yellowhammer 86]

Can’t believe we are not doing any business in the transfer window ,if any team needs strengthening surely it’s us 

[NFN FC 1,123]

The club accepted relegation months ago

[Walcombe canary 69]

Correct Yellowhammer - As I have said previously, and i really hope that I am wrong. If NCFC do not buy the required minimum, Centre Midfielder & Forward, then the Board are saying to Season Ticket Holders that is it. Put up or shut up. Oh Dear.

We were relegated on Halloween with our loss to Watford to be fair.

 

But to answer Yellow.. We are doing business. Does letting players go out on loan and letting players go not count?😉

I've never been a fan of January signings - unless you've got 1 or 2 players with season ending injures that you need to replace, it's always a sign that you f*cked up in the summer. It would just be throwing good money after bad - you'll overpay and tbh I've got no confidence we'd get the right players in anyway. Better to extend the allotment at Colney.

Exactly. The January window is always overpriced as clubs tend to panic a bit. Not to mention you've barely any time to get new signings to gel in quickly. If anything, it makes more sense to sell in January and try and take advantage of that premise.

Why can't you believe it?

We spent every penny we had in the summer (to avoid the 'brought in player/s too late' accusation) and now the cupboard's bare unless we sell first.

Additionally, the club have been crystal clear on this for months.

I can't believe you can't believe it!

Be Interesting to see how Newcastle get on from now as they have signed to get themselves out of trouble , guess it’s the difference Between being poor and rich 

[fredherring 136]

Look at it from smiths point of view. 

Panic buy now, or wait. 

If he buys now, he will only get players who are up for a certain relegation. That level of layer won't appease the fans and will be overpriced. 

Or wait until the summer, clear the place out, and use the money when he's had more time.

And £25m on Chris Wood smells like a panic buy.

Total panic buy, definitely, but with Wilson out for two months an experienced, reliable signing like Wood will probably be enough for them in the meantime.

We did **** up in the summer I think that's obvious.

It beggars belief that we still do not have a defensive midfielder.

Why don’t they just go to the magic money tree in Webber’s garden and shake it? Must be at least 50 million on it. It’s obvious, then we can sign Dele Ali and Ross Barkley on 120k a week. Pathetic misuse of the money tree by Webber. He must go.

[komakino 272]

I can only see them spending money if a player is sold and that would be a Championship level player. 

Why are the majority shareholders going to spend money in a league they don't want to stay in?

A Championship level player would be an upgrade on PLM, Sargent and Tzolis.

Think the allotment has extended to the pitch based on how many vegetables there are 

[Disco Dales Jockstrap 1,891]

YES!!! You f*cking beauty! I knew Webber would come through with the goods - looks like we've signed a new striker:

I'm sure he'll hit the bullseye.

None of us know the reality of the club's current financial position but to spend money we do not have would be suicide.

Not sure. Could be a shrewd bit of business with Trippier one side and Saint-Maximan the other pinging crosses in. If Wood's goals keep Newcastle up £25m is a bargain

Always a reason we can’t do what every other club i. The league can do isn’t there. So we go into a bit of short term debt? So what if it enables us to buy the midfielder who might give us a chance of staying up?

there is not a single other club in our position who would not be attempting to do something to try and make a difference snd there is not a single other fanbase who would accept their club giving up like ours appears to be.

A bit of short term debt?

To make a difference we would need to be spending £10-20 million. That's not insignificant to a club run without a supremely wealthy owner ( which is another argument altogether).

Any kind of reasonable defensive mid would make a huge difference. That doesn’t need to cost that sort of money if you have decent scouts.

we will be selling Aaron’s and Todd in the next 12 months. We need to try and do something.

Like hernandez, who would essentially be free and we've let go to another club. If nothing else he loves the city and the club and we're more likely to get a tune out of him than anyone else. 

[Uncle Fred 526]

The lack of sorting out the issues this window is criminally incompetent 

surely that must be the trigger for the fans to finally turn against the stowmarket 2

[norfolkngood 1,086]

if you owned the Club and Webber came to you and said i am going to spend another 20 mil would you let him ? 

The summer was a has turned out to be a terrible window when he looked so good before the season started ! 

 

 

[Chelm Canary 404]

If we spend who are we gonna get? Another couple of discounted unproven players from the continent?
