Peter Griffin Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Sky saying that Newcastle are competing with one other PL club for CB Carlos. It would be funny if Villa signed him and he said he took less money at Villa than signing for Toon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be a late bloomer but wouldn’t surprise me if he’s playing in the championship next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't actually like to sign him. I quite fancy Webster from Brighton. I wanted us to push the signing through when we were interested in him when he was at Bristol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that’s annoying me is that I keep seeing fans talking about “next season”, this season is by no means over and we can still achieve something and need to form some kind of momentum heading into the next. I want us to win as many games as possible and finish as high as we can, to make the most out of the remaining games. It’s all well and good signing players and the excitement it brings but we need to WIN GAMES!! And to go on some kind of run. We should (and I believe we are) be aiming to try to finish somewhere in the top half of the table or get close. Losing games and finishing in a low position makes us less attractive to players we’re looking to sign and will upset or place doubts in the minds of our better players too… If we keep losing, we keep sliding and we could get stuck in a rut. Defensively, we need to be much better. I expect us to improve in attack anyway, with the recent acquisitions, and certain players form should hopefully improve. Drop a CF from the side and…. SIGN A DM!!! Edited January 19, 2022 by Jas10 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIGN A DM!!! Also there are always plenty of posts in the summer about not signing too many players at the same time because it will take them three months to gel. Usually from the same people who moan about signings in January being too expensive. So let's just sign a ****ing DM now and be done with it!

It never got to the contract stage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some people joke about that too but it’s a point worth considering… I love small, diminutive, skilful players but it goes back to balance yet again. The only physically imposing player/starter we have is Mings… we’re often outmuscled or overpowered (particularly in midfield) against many teams. We could do with a bit more help. Tbf, we have a leader and organiser in goal (Martinez), and in defence (Mings)… we could really do with the same in midfield… Even Barca had the likes of Busquets, Puyol and Pique to go along with the skill and trickery of Messi, Villa, Xavi and Iniesta. Prime Arsenal had Petit and Vieira… You have to compete and fight to win games, skill can be the deciding factor but you also have to be prepared for the physical battle and scrap at times. We need a bit more help and the balance just isn’t right. A player who has strength and can hold off players while being composed on the ball, as well as provide a screen for our defence, would give us a huge boost.

He can’t play CDM and SG is against buying ‘names’ to sit on the bench. Given that Gerrard wants 2 quality players for every position then I would fully expect "9 Names' to sit on the bench.
