AshVilla Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 No players in and no players out till Bruce goes. Unless a club comes in for Richards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 What's the point of Colback coming in? we already have jedinak, whelan, lansbury, hourihane, lyden et al who compete for the two spots we need attacking midfield options - would rather we go for Snodgrass on loan.

Might be worth a shout on loan for the season Bruce has to try get him on loan. Its as simple as that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I see absolutely nothing Colback can do that someone like Lyden can't do. Lyden actually will have a desire to break through and play with heart. I'd much rather see us give Lyden a try than sign another midfielder who is presumably on much much higher wages than Lyden.

Chicken Field Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) I cannot stand Jack Colback, he has been pants for years. He will be the next player stuck in our "bomb squad" next season. Do we really need to sign more central midfielders ? Bruce has already bought Whelan, Onomah, Lansbury, Hourihane, whilst Bjarnason has played a lot as central midfielder too. This is just ridicules, the man is clueless. To anyone who dares, I recommend you go to newcastle forums and read what they think of him, they hate him.

The Fun Factory Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 We need a target man and a winger. No more central midfielders please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 We do need to make signings now, regardless of who the manager is. This is where we have to rely on the football board to ensure that the incoming players are beneficial to the club regardless of who the manager is. That said we definitely should not sign any more central midfield players. We need some attacking midfield players, who can attack with pace and guile. We also need a number 9 who can play with his back to goal and bring the others into play. Sign these 2/3 players and we are set for the season if Bruce stays or goes. No matter what happens we must win our next two league games. We need to get together and support the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colback isn't exactly rated highly at any of the clubs he has played for. I still think I'd rather take a risk with Lyden instead of signing yet another midfielder when we have pressing needs such as a back up target man when Kodjia gets hurt/needs resting, and a back up left back for Taylor since he has played every minute so far.

jacketspuds Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I just don't see where Colback would fit in with Jedinak, Whelan, and Lansbury as CM options. I literally have zero idea what Bruce is trying to do in this transfer window. You need to be able to defend in this league but if you struggle to create chances you're buggered. Don't remember Newcastle, Brighton or Huddersfield trying to sneak a goal then cling on for dear life last season. Teams don't fear us and signing Colback will not change that.
