I think any rational fan expected us to sell at least 1 big hitter this summer to fund more signings but loosing Rudi to another champ club would be a reality check to where we sit in the food chain for some fans. It may come down to how confident the club feel they will get a decent price for...

No excuse not to give Rapha minutes in the league now, been our best player by far

muppet ? Calm down big man it’s only a game

He was sat near Doug today

A new winger is a priority, can’t have BTA & a LB as understudies and Frank clearly doesn’t trust Rapha

It's been said elsewhere but Newcastle are in a mess this window. Listening to Orenstein yesterday and he thinks they are looking at x2 Strikers, defender & goal keeper in the next 3 weeks before they look at a midfielder, and the calibre of player being touted is way above Rudi's current level...

Or we are trying to hold out for 15mill (or as close as possible) which would explain why the rumours haven't gone beyond agreeing terms with the player ?

I read over the summer that Real Madrid do this for all their young players that aren't going into the first team instead of agreeing to loans as it looks their PSR calcs look a lot better

I know it's wishful thinking but if he is till at City by then it wouldn't surprise me if we get Doyle in the final week of the window on loan with a buy option

Puts the reported Milan fee into perspective a bit…

Agree CB is priority and I would hope now Binks has been moved on for a decent fee we have irons in the fire. I think trusting Rapha to be the 3rd/4th choice winger is a massive risk. We need somebody to push Tatts and offer an alternative. We also know he is bound to get a few knocks...

Everton about to spend 25mill+ on Dewsbury-Hall & offering 40 for Dibling, they won't be going for Rudi if they get those over the line

Do you think RW loan and CB permanent ? Appreciate we will need another RB once Milan moves on, but I would guess the bulk of his transfer fee will go on a marquee CB (maybe wishful thinking) and the RB being a loan/cheaper option

Considering what we managed to get for Binks I would be surprised if he goes for less than 10mill (overall package). Hopefully this has a domino effect and we see 2 or 3 more brought in quickly now funds are on the way

Always find it difficult to make predictions whilst the window is still open. If we do the business needed in the next couple of weeks I could see us making a genuine push for automatics, albeit we would probably just fall short and end up finishing 3rd or 4th. I think if things stay as they are...

People forgetting Lampards apparent lack of pull is one of the reasons Rudi has not agitated for a move this summer

Funny to see the people moaning about the lack of signings that are also crying about ticket prices, we can’t have it both ways….

I agree. I have noticed how many of our recent signings have mentioned initial conversations were made months before hand which suggests we have a long term plan

DK playing 4d chess here, leak this out to the press to take the focus off transfers whilst he completes 3 signings under the radar and to be unveiled at kick off Saturday

No coincidence Binks leaves and we are apparently building a new stadium
