Busy summer ahead?
With Arfield and Marney certain outgoers, we look set for a busy summer of recruitment with the like of Wells, Walters, and perhaps Bardsley and Vokes leaving.
I’d be looking at 2 x central
Midfielders.
1 x number 10
2 x Strikers if Vokes
Leaves (which personally I hope he doesn’t)
1 x Center Back (2 if Ben Mee leaves)
1 more winger when GKN goes back to spurs.
Eagerly anticipating what kind of names we can attract, World Cup summer too so many players being showcased aswell. I’d like to think we could attract some fellow Belgian talents throughout any influence Defour May or may not have. More than likely more British based again which Has worked wonders for us admittedly, but can we afford the wages of such players from relegated clubs or struggling clubs from this season such as: Redmond, Ward-Prowse, Rodriguez, Burke or Allen for example.
Exciting summer ahead for all those transfer fans anyway.

Couple of Icelandic players, 2 from the championship and 8 youngsters from places like Gainsborough, Hinckley & Truro for the development squad.

I think I'd be wanting 2 new wide men, to fill the void of GKN & Arfield, Never know how & when Brady will come back, previous players with the same injury have taken a few extra months to get back to where they were and with the excess amount of games before & early in the season this is a position we look light in, along with centre halves.
For me, given no extra outgoings I'd be looking at;-
2x Centre Halfs
1x Central Midfield
2x Wide Midfielders
1x Striker (capable of playing the the 10 role)

Re: Busy summer ahead?
We have already done a deal (a friend in the know at the club told me) for a player from Newcastle he told me nothing else no name, age or what position he plays just said deal is done

Like for like should anyone else leave, and possible upgrades on Wells/Vokes if we are being greedy. Other than that I think if those priorities are of quality I would be happy with our business.

Not according to the chairman on his interview on Clarets mad, he said it won’t be 6 or 7 likely 3 - 4 going for quality over quantity.

You are allowed to have a pre contract deal agreed with players who are out of contract at the end of the season. Danny Ings agreed one with Liverpool a few years ago!MACCA wrote:No we haven't, you can't have a done deal at this stage of the season.

Re: Busy summer ahead?
Remember we can only name 25 players for the Premier league games and as many as we want under ?21yrs, so to sign 7 we would need about 7 out

This is because it’s an international transfer. Domestic transfers can’t be pre-agreed I don’t think.Reecey1987 wrote:Yes you can only if there out of contract . Scotty arfield has agreed a 4 year deal with rangers

Re: Busy summer ahead?
Pope/Heaton
Lowton/Bardsley, Tarkowski/Long, Mee/(Worrall), Ward/Taylor
Lennon/(Burke), Cork/Hendrick, Defour/Westwood, Gudmunsson/Brady
(Allen)/(Rodriguez)
Barnes/Wood/Vokes
Those 4 additions would have me dancing in the streets.

Re: Busy summer ahead?
No you can’t and that is why Ings didn’t sign one with Liverpool. International moves yes, such as Arfield to Rangers. Even though it was common knowledge that Danny would end up at Anfield and they tried to get him in the Jan, there wasnt anything legally binding so if injured, he would have been left in limbo.bfcmik wrote:You are allowed to have a pre contract deal agreed with players who are out of contract at the end of the season.

Re: Busy summer ahead?
Unsurprisingly given our manager and the length of his tenure we have exactly the right number of slots to fill just to freshen it up. A wide player a central defender and a couple of wild cards would do me. Obviously if we sell we will need replacements. But as always it looks thought through and progressive. Many of the championship stalwarts are slowly and respectfully being replaced. SD just does the man management side so well.

But we haven't, so all is irrelivent.bfcmik wrote:You are allowed to have a pre contract deal agreed with players who are out of contract at the end of the season. Danny Ings agreed one with Liverpool a few years ago!
We all knew ings were Liverpool bound from January.
Who's out of contract at Newcastle who we will be signing?
If there was one, more people than agent claret eould be whispering about it. Too many people in the chain these days for it not to be leaked from one end or the other.
Re: Busy summer ahead?
The only out of contract Newcastle player worth having is Kennedy on loan from Chelsea. I would be more than happy with that but think Matt Ritchie is the more likely target.

Just get Mee to stay and sign a deal, that will be singing of the summer! He is Burnley, we can't afford to lose him.

Re: Busy summer ahead?
If we play 3 of those from the start which we did majority of the first half of the season then that leaves us with one option from the bench, if we get an injury then we are short.jrgbfc wrote:So you want another 2 more central midfielders to go alongside Defour, Cork, Westwood and Hendrick?

Plus I’d look for one of them at least to be on the younger side, to learn from Defour and Cork and eventually take over from them in the future. Aren’t both Cork and Defour 30 now?
I’d look for an upgrade on Bardsley too if possible, I think we struggled down that side when Lowton was out, Who by the way I think it’s so under rated!
Re: Busy summer ahead?
Can see the likes of Anderson, Ginnelly, Agyei and Long leaving as they don't seem to have figured much out on loan.
Re: Busy summer ahead?
Craig Dawson would be an upgrade on Bardsley and an upgrade on Long (though Long as done great). If the £10m is correct that seems reasonable for a player with his experience who can cover multiple positions and genuinely challenge to be a starter.
We will also go for a wide player I reckon and at least one forward....hopefully 2. I’m hoping we spend at least £40m on 3 or 4 players who are good enough to go straight in the team (or be at least players that he has no qualms with putting straight in the first team unlike Wells and Walters)

Re: Busy summer ahead?
From the current squad
Heaton / Pope / Lindegaard
Lowton / Ward / Taylor / Bardsley
Mee / Tarkowski / Long
Cork / Defour / Hendrick / Westwood
Brady / Gudmundsson / Lennon / Walters
Wood / Barnes / Vokes / Wells
which would account for 22 spaces out of 25
Incomings I would like to see
Linus Wahlqvist - Right Back ( U21 Rule ) Free Transfer
Mystery Man - Central Defender
Stuart Armstrong - Attacking Mid / Centre Mid
Steven Zuber - Left Midfield / Right Midfield
Bobby Reid - Attacking Mid / Support Striker
Based on 3 empty slots to fill and one of Vokes / Wells / Walters leaving or going out on loan
Mystery man central defender options would be
Joe Worrall ( U21 Rule ) / Sven van Beek / Liam Moore / Rob Holding
U23 Development Squad Candidates
Georges-Kevin N'Doukou / Marc-Oliver Kempf / Gustav Valsvik / Lewis Baker
It would be nice if we had more quality candidates in the development squad to draw from. This would boost the option of replenishing the squad internally at the mid way point in the season if we should need to. They could also be sent out on loan if we don't. Kempf is a free transfer and Valsvik is left footed defender who has played very well in 2.Bundesliga over the course of this season and shouldnt cost much. I'm guessing that Baker would still cost a bit even though his loan at Middlesborough has done his value and visibility no favours.
I've included Ndoukou because I wouldn't run screaming if we signed him up permanently. He seems to fit in well and he obviously isn't afraid of putting in the hard work it will take to improve. I think his time with us has shown that he has potential, but he isn't ready for a first team slot just yet. If we could get him for a reasonable price it would reflect the time and effort that we would have to contribute to get him to where we would need him to be - and the risk he might not make it.

Sven Van Beek - Feyenoord
He looked very good in his initial matches after his return from the serious foot injury that kept him out of the team for over a year. However, after his well publicised altercation with Steven Burguis, his form has dipped significantly. He really doesn't look happy or comfortable in the team.
I also read this recent interview with him called "No Friends in Football"
https://www.vi.nl/pro/overig/vader-en-z ... tbalwereld" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I think there is a big difference between friendly competition amongst players for first team places, which can bring out the best in everyone involved, and a somewhat aggressive me vs them attitude.
I also got the impression that he wouldn't be happy to sit on the bench as a fourth choice, waiting for an opportunity to play.
Assessment - dropping him from my list of suggestion, because I don't think he would be a good fit for us.
Linus Wahlqvist
I made a mistake, he won't qualify as an U21 squad addition, but I still think he would make an excellent development candidate for the future role of attacking right back.
Steven Zuber
Still happy wth this suggestion, good player from the matches I've watched and a model professional from everything I've read about him, but I would be equally happy with the recently linked Joe Bryan.

So where this lad slotting in to the first team squad then?
As That s what we were talking about, he states in an interview his first aim is to break into the under 23 team.
Ps He was free after being released, no deal done at all.
