Pilchards Posted 31 January, 2022 Posted 31 January, 2022 I have set this up as many of us would like to know what the latest news is regarding ins and outs around the country. For Saints I suppose it’s about Broja, Dele, Armitage, Long and any others going out on loan.
Pilchards Posted 31 January, 2022 Author Posted 31 January, 2022 You just know Woods, Howe and Burn will be flogged off next season when Newcastle survive. Really starting to dislike them! 1
CB Fry Posted 31 January, 2022 Posted 31 January, 2022 Absolutely no justification for that appalling photoshop. 10

Really starting to dislike them! Not if they're paying them so much that no one will match it. They'll be stuck with them until the end of their contracts, perhaps subsidising the odd loan move etc. 1
Harry_SFC Posted 31 January, 2022 Posted 31 January, 2022 5 minutes ago, SuperSAINT said: Would probably be a good move him. Can't see him playing much here, has looked low on confidence for a while. 2
Dusic Posted 31 January, 2022 Posted 31 January, 2022 Would be good if Newcastle sign the Reims striker as surely no need for them to go after Broja in the summer. Djenepo loan very plausible. Think he started quite a few games at the start of the season, missed big chances vs Newcastle especially and I think Ralph has lost patience with him. Believe in the summer he has one year left on his contract so imagine we will look to recoup anythingnwe can rather than offer an extension. 2
david in sweden Posted 31 January, 2022 Posted 31 January, 2022 Judging by previous seasons Saints will pop-up with a signing that no-one has tipped, and who almost no-one has ever heard of . 1
Saint Garrett Posted 31 January, 2022 Posted 31 January, 2022 (edited) Might as well just call this the Newcastle thread… Ekitike, Burn, Lingard, Targett, Henderson, Carrasco, Diop…anyone I’ve missed? Im expecting us to bring in one late player on loan. As we have done over the last few seasons. Might be why Moussa has been linked away… Edited 31 January, 2022 by Saint Garrett

Sheaf Saint Posted 31 January, 2022 Posted 31 January, 2022 Donny VDB to Everton looks like it is all but confirmed.

Weirdly though, we've not had him for a month and I've not missed him at all. So maybe we do feel as if we can risk it. I think we've got enough depth in that position to see us through the season without him. He showed a bit of early promise but if he hasn't managed to make the adjustment to the PL after 2.5 seasons then he never will IMO. Wouldn't be at all bothered if we let him go.
saintrich Posted 31 January, 2022 Posted 31 January, 2022 Djenepo will have one year left on his contract in the summer and it's likely he would only get a handful of appearances here and there at Saints until then. To maximise his sell price in the summer it makes good sense for him to have a (hopefully) productive loan spell somewhere else. He hasn't been a dreadful signing, glimpses of quality, fun character to have around, put a defensive shift in when asked, but it's clear he is not going to be the player we hoped he could be - certainly not in this league.

Agreed, 3 years here as a bit part player, showed flashes of quality but not really delivered anywhere near consistently. Time to move him on if we can.
EBS1980 Posted 31 January, 2022 Posted 31 January, 2022 If Alli is to go on loan to PL side a few possible clubs about to max out. Everton - if they get VDB then that’s their two filled. Newcastle - likely to use one on Henderson or Lingard. Targett appears to be their second option.

Yup - he's not going to go to the other big 5 clubs. Palace would probably be a good fit for him.

I remember he and Boufal linked up well for a couple of games, shame. He played left back that day too! I liek him, he's got ability for sure, but it's frustrating that he can never get a proper run in the side. One of the few players who can beat people, but seems to have gone backwards this season.
Saint Garrett Posted 31 January, 2022 Posted 31 January, 2022 I'm quite looking forward to playing against them with Targett and Burn playing.
beatlesaint Posted 31 January, 2022 Posted 31 January, 2022 (edited) Targett from Villa, Wood from Burnley and Burn from Brighton…….it’s hardly edge of your seat stuff is it? I have no idea what the foreign guys are like but given one is only 19 and they will need time to adjust and settle it’s not as thrilling as I’m sure the Toon army were expecting Edited 31 January, 2022 by beatlesaint

Billy the Kidd Posted 31 January, 2022 Posted 31 January, 2022 Not sure Burn is any better than what they have. I dont know who plays LB for them, maybe Targett is better - jeez they must be pretty crap if he is better...
whelk Posted 31 January, 2022 Posted 31 January, 2022 Other than the Brazilian midfielder from Lyon who I hadn’t heard of but sounds handy, Newcastle signings been massively underwhelming.
SuperSAINT Posted 31 January, 2022 Posted 31 January, 2022 Re: Alli Are Newcastle in for any Lingard alternatives?
Dr. Kucho Posted 31 January, 2022 Posted 31 January, 2022 Can someone explain Newcastles transfer policy? It seems like it’s just ‘bid for any player in a top league and hope he wants to sign’. 1
Saint_lambden Posted 31 January, 2022 Posted 31 January, 2022 In fairness, all they need to do this window is improve on what they have in a few positions and do enough to stay-up. In summer, they will be attract a higher echelon of player if they're still in the Premier League but the top tier of player won't want to go there yet whilst the threat of relegation is still real. 1
Baird of the land Posted 31 January, 2022 Posted 31 January, 2022 Find the rumoured Cantwell from Norwich to Bournemouth very odd. His stock has really dropped / he must have really burned some bridges at Norwich.

They've shored up their defence, weakened a relegation rival considerably, and invested in a decent midfielder and probably some more to come. Easily enough to progress to phase two after staying up. Eminently sensible to me. Next season will be the one where they invest in a higher grade. Basically early Man City. 1
woodsaint1 Posted 31 January, 2022 Posted 31 January, 2022 Aaron Ramsey linked with Burnley or Rangers....should we not be all over that too 🤷🏼♂️. May be 31 but still a great player

I hope these players realise that all they are doing is potentially stabilising the club, and that after next season, assuming they stay up this time, they will be discarded as their "European challenging team" starts to form. If that comes to pass, in 18 months they will all be on the bench or surplus to requirements. Edited 31 January, 2022 by badgerx16

It seems like it’s just ‘bid for any player in a top league and hope he wants to sign’. Buy some pretty solid premier league options, whilst weakening rivals and who can hit the ground running straight away. Bring in a few top young talents from abroad, for the longer term.

Baird of the land Posted 31 January, 2022 Posted 31 January, 2022 Newcastle transfers are generally sort of calibre you'd expect given their situation. Most good players aren't going to go there while they are stuck in a relegation battle. Massively overpaying for steady players makes some sense. Worse case scenario the likes of Burn/Wood will help them get re-promoted.
Mallagroth Posted 31 January, 2022 Posted 31 January, 2022 Re: Newcastle: be surprised if Any team in the premier league can buy a lot of strangers whack them together with next to no training and expect them to do better than they currently are immediately. Teams in the past that have done this have struggled badly for at least 1/2 season after, i think I remember West Ham and Leicester both being guilty of something like this in the past. 1

Tamesaint Posted 31 January, 2022 Posted 31 January, 2022 Poor old Matty Targett. Looks as if he has failed to impress Gerrard. Actually, I'll rephrase that - Very rich Matty Targett. I hope he screws Newcastle for a very large wedge. Good luck to him.
Mr Saints Posted 31 January, 2022 Posted 31 January, 2022 I think Weghorst is a good signing for Burnley to be fair, although hey will probably need more than that to stay up.
ErwinK1961 Posted 31 January, 2022 Posted 31 January, 2022 Anything from our preferred journo's about potential incomings or it "being a quiet day at Staplewood"? Normally would have had something to suggest either way by now?
