January Transfer Window Rumours

[123EasyasBFC]

32 is still youngish. Great experience in the league. Good passer of the ball. Not a bad signing this. Think the next signing we make will be a big one if the rumours I’m hearing are true…also will make Alan paces daughter very happy

Hahaha please this thread isn’t ready for another Nathan tella return ITK

[Anonymous Claret]

I would be delighted if we signed Shelvey especially if we can get a few other players off the wage bill.
He has a great range of passing and a decent shot. He has loads of experience at the highest level and he has the ability to provide those defence splitting passes. None of our other central midfielders have that type of ability.

What have you actually been hearing

[blatherwickstattoos]

I’m in no way, shape or form saying it’s true but I’ve heard off 2 different people he’s been seen at gawthorpe today.

That would surely have to be Nathan Tella with the Pace’s daughter reference!?!

Wouldn’t like to say someone is getting mixed up with Shelvey being at the training ground, because that would be quite the mistake to make

Leverkusen put a video of Tella in training today.

[blatherwickstattoos]

Rumour. Not saying I’m in the know or anything. I’ve made that mistake before haha. Imagine the lift it would bring to the turf. Him and Ashley Barnes next home game I don’t think I’d be able to not spontaneously combust

The bell ends who’ve txt are getting it now …..

Yeah I think someone has made a massive mistake there

[Taffy on the wing]

Oh God!.......why do i keep checking this hoping for news?

Maybe someone else can say "Shelvey can make a defense splitting pass"....

UGH!

[Tricky Trevor]

What isn't always evident to us on the outside is the effect certain players have on squad morale and team spirit.

This was SDs strength. He got seasoned, senior, British pros in who knew English football and what it takes. Soon as he got lumbered with foreigners it went tits up and no I’ve nothing against foreign players.

[Tricky Trevor]

Morning papers are saying:
A) Njcassell are looking at Aaron Ramsdale.
B) They want Dubravka to stay.
C) They have sent head of recruitment Steve Nickson to check on Trafford but are not expected to bid this window.

That should cheer up the Trafford fan club.

After reading A, I was about to look up Njcassell in the Scandinavian leagues, then I read B & C

[GetIntoEm]

There's twitter rumours that Trafford to Newcastle is imminent. Hope not.

3 days ago by a fan account making stuff up.

North east journos have said no move expected for him in Jan just yesterday.

It's been said several times, but people choose to ignore it, Newcastle cannot afford him in this window due to ffp

It’s not happening but the way around that is the whole loan with an obligation thing.

[Guller Bull]

Bit out of the loop so quick catch-up needed.


Rumours/live gossip I am seeing is

Redmond to Brum
Traff to Newcastle though more likely summer
Shelvey at Gawthorpe and training prior to signing
Tella (not at training ground ) loan with obligation to purchase at 20mill
Delacroix turned down loan move
Steve to Spurs?
Brownhill to Hammers?

Any bit of truth in any of these and what others are being discussed?

[Row x]

That doesn't suit us at this point, which is why the north east press say it's a difficult deal to do

[GetIntoEm]

Glad about traff

Certainly not at 20m.

If we go up we should ask for 40

[randomclaret2]

We've got 4. We play 2 and a 10 in front. We've plenty of options there - Massengo has played 122 minutes all season in the league.

And why would Shelvey be considered proper backup when he's not been considered good enough to play more than 202 minutes at Eyupspor this season in a league which for the most part is below Championship level?

"When asked if Massengo’s departure leaves the Clarets a little light in central midfield, Parker said: “Yes, we're a little bit short there at the moment and it's probably an area that we'll see if there's anything [in the transfer window..."

SP from yesterdays Press Conference

Missed the presser, did he mention anything about an out and out goal scorer?

Looks like JJS will be Massengo's replacement.

[burnleycclaret]

Don’t do this.

What you think?

[gtclaret]

Very nice,bit we NEED a striker

[ClaretOfMancunia]

Lots of discussion on this already in the January transfer thread. But to answer the question - I thought it was a joke at first, but I've really warmed to the idea after reading some convincing arguments and speaking to a Newcastle supporting friend. His long passes look dangerously good. If he's still got it, he'll do well I think.

[ClaretOfMancunia]

Very nice,bit we NEED a striker

And a winger, unless Benson is due back imminently

[fatboy47]

What you think?
https://search.app/HcuKc4dZFMgsrw4u6

He could get us out of some sticky spots with all his paste experience.

[martin_p]

And a winger, unless Benson is due back imminently

If he was due back imminently it’d only mean he was due to get injured again imminently plus 15 minutes.

[willsclarets]

Big question marks over his effort at Forest. Sounds like he phoned it in, then chose to go out to pasture in Turkey. No thanks, exactly the type of character we don't want.

[burnleycclaret]

I'm willing to give Parker the benefit of the doubt over this one. I was a big fan of Shelvey when he played over here so hope he still has it.

Different players perform better with different managers. Look at Barton under Dyche for example. He's clearly not going to be asked to start every remaining game of this season, but his talent and experience could play an integral part.

I believe two of those are very much fact. The rest ????

While I'd welcome Tella back, I can't see that one happening. Shelvey one seems pretty certain.

[agreenwood]

I read the entire thing imagining Chris narrating it (he’s a Turfcast regular) and it dulled my enthusiasm for the signing.

[Poulton-le-Claret]

And a winger, unless Benson is due back imminently

Apparently he's 'on the grass', so we can probably expect to see him in about 2 years time

[Poulton-le-Claret]

It's not a bad signing, he will be good enough for this level. The only things I worry about now are the finances, as we must be skint with signing him and Barnes. Add to that, all quiet on the contracts of CJ and Brownhill (Roberts seems nailed on to go back to Swansea).

[burnleycclaret]

Not sure I see him as a regular anyway. Surely bench / impact player even when fit.

[TheFamilyCat]

Some folk getting very confused here. Nathan Tella was at Gawthorpe, not Shelvey.

[ClaretLoup]

Big question marks over his effort at Forest. Sounds like he phoned it in, then chose to go out to pasture in Turkey. No thanks, exactly the type of character we don't want.

Allegedly he had a big bust up with Steve Cooper at Forest after being benched.

[MrTopTier]

Jacob Bruun Larsen to Stuttgart 1.3 million.

Would have been a belting signing.

[gandhisflipflop]

I can see why people would mix the two up.

Bloody hell, that's cheap.

Peas in a pod…

[Commy]

Bloody hell, that's cheap.

English tax would have meant £10m to us .

[jrgbfc]

No Tresor rumours yet? Can see that dragging on right till the end of the month.

[blatherwickstattoos]

Had 2 more screenshot conversations sent about tella this morning. Being announced next week according to these. Might the Chinese whispers affect where people are just lying about the same rumour they’ve already heard.

Possibly people might be seeing you post on here and might think can we get him with another screenshot
