Winter Transfer Window 23/24
- Thread starter Bigpig
- Start date
Plenty of rumours lad with Kelvin Philps to Newcastle being the main one despite all the loan fuss.Gets earlier and earlier every year
Imho tho. Newcastle should go ahead and get a few loans from Saudi since the PL had a nice wee vote to say it’s ok.
Miley probably saved us about 40 odd million lol. Would like to see us improve the right wing. Then a youngish CB and striker.
Newcastle still got money to spend and quite a bit I believe. Just playing the market extremely well. There’s probably a budget of around 40million for this window if need be.
The club top brass has already stated multiple times that there’s money there if the right player pops up they will move or move summer plans forward.
Question is are we still after Philps on loan with option? Finally get that out and out 6 instead of 6/8 hybrids
Looks like we are at the point now that the rebuilding will slow down and players will be rotated in and out with 1 prime target added per season.
We have goone big on players under 25 and aim to progress that way.

Howe was asked about him. Quotes below. I would be very happy if we got him in. We have a few gaps in our squad and an out and out DM is one of them.
"The only thing I can say about him is I am asking for good personalities and characters and he is a perfect example. And after that I have to give him something and I didn't do that."

Man I love transfer windows only 13days, 15hours, 11 mins and 30 secs to go.
1st of January I want to see Philips straight through the door. This will be interesting as loads of clubs seems to be after a proper DM but seem to be focussed on younger foreign players. Newcastle seem to have a March on this one tho with Eddie saying Philips is the type of character he has asked for.
If we really have ****** up Barnes injury diagnoses then we do need cover up top.

What’s the limit for loans
That’s the risk and at 7million doubt it will happen.
If he has at least 75% of his Leeds ability he vastly improves Newcastle. Long range passing. Ability to drop back into a back 3 when ever a fullback plows forward.
Sit at the base of our attack. At the min we expect Bruno to progress the ball out of defence and be the main creative in attack. It has worked up to the point but now we can’t do it because of fitness levels. Same as last season when Longstaff was missing. He had the energy to make recovery runs when we lost the ball. Hence all the missing you memes.
Kev on twitter did a fantastic write up showing no other team as suffered as many counterattacking shots than Newcastle as more teams play lowblock and just hit us on the counter.
We lack the ability to make recovery runs due to fitness. Hence all the goals you see from teams breaking straight up the middle which is the worst type of counter attack as they lead to better goal scoring opportunities. You want the counters to be down the wing.
We can’t control games when we take the lead. We have fantastic energetic 8’s but don’t have that out and out 6. Bruno and Sandro can play there but that’s not their main play style.
Just having an out and out DM that will sit at the base of the midfield 3 will even out team. Bruno goes forward Longstaff or Joelinton have to drop back and cover the gap and makes out attacks very one sided.
We don’t even need a starter. Just have that option on the bench. Throw on a DM when legs gets tired or when the game is tight.
It doesn’t have to be Philps but he’s pretty decent and available this window.
