Villarocker Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 My problem with this is why wait until a few days before the season starts to make an offer? It makes me worry that RDM had to sell before he could buy, which doesn't sort of fit in with a wealthy owner image, does it? One other thing, I hope we don't stop at McCormack because we need someone to supply him with chances and that's been a problem of ours for quite some time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This past season gone only Ince and someone else created more goals for team mates. I got to be honest I haven't seen him play that often but those are some impressive stats. Remarkable in fact. If we are going to stand any chance of promotion we are almost certainly going to need one player to bang in 20 goals plus and clearly McCormack is more than capable of that. He will need service though so if we can bring someone in who can provide that we could be well be onto a winner. As others have also stated a player with some movement, a bit of a natural instinct, and clever link up play could well lead to some of our existing players suddenly laying on chances and looking forward instead of the constant sideways and backwards passing due to a lack of movement up top. It is a lot of money but the game has gone mad. Newcastle signed Dwight Gayle a player with 15 goals in the last three seasons for 10 mill. Based on that then 12-15 mill for McCormack looks like very good business. As for his age he isn't a player that relies on pace from what I can gather so he should be good for a few years yet and if we get one great season out of him that gets us up then if we never got a penny back for him he would have been great value.

What a joke those odds are. They need at least another couple of 0s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly wouldn't mind Ikechi Anya, He is used to the league having played 100 games for watford, Very quick, can beat players and crosses well. Stats for goals/assists aren't great but he makes a difference in games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I have said in the Tony Xia thread, I think something is very fishy and I don't believe we are financially much better off than under that **** Lerner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf he said in one of his first interviews that he wasn't looking to do the citeh-like money splashing thing but rather go for a more sustainable business model. Our wages/squad costs have been ridiculous for a long time so it's only sensible. I wouldn't worry too much about things like this unless evidence proves otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted August 2, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 2, 2016 If this signing comes off can we all please just get on the Tony Xia fun wagon please? Yer don't need to like his tweets, or his suits, but signing Mcormack is a big, big deal in this league and really shows intent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly @useless. a part of my thinking is even that, by accounts Mcormack wasn't even at the top of the list, we got an unexpected 12 mill and said sod it let's sign an insurance policy whilst we wait for other targets! RDM has said on more than one occasion we don't need to sell to buy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We signed Bent for much more to be fair, either way I agree with your sentiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
