rynny Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Looking at who each team has bought is there anyone that I would have liked us to sign? Matt Ritchie? Think that is about it, but even then I wouldn't want to spend the amount Newcastle have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopRam Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 A Right Back for completion is all we need, just looking at the team today it's aleady got very good championship players on the bench, why get more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampage Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Pearson is giving everyone a chance. if you do not take it, what can you say to him? Mardiness will be banished and hard work will take its place. Pearson's Plan A - Win it by passing, Plan B - Win it by effort. Plan C - get some more players.

Carl Sagan Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Slightly disappointed by Pearson's quoted comments in the DET where he says: "We have interest in a number of players we think would possibly strengthen our squad" I am only interested in us buying players who demonstrably strengthen the first team. Our recruitment policy of squad fillers really hasn't worked. Any incomings need to take the first team to a higher level and if they cannot be found I'm happy not to bring anyone in for the sake of it and have a summer without buying anybody.

In fairness, it wouldn't do much for squad morale if he said we've got eyes on a number of players who are miles better than what we've got.

Might also be that we decided keeping Hendrick was better than selling him and getting the players we're interested in. Or to put it another way, to say "we have enough, we're going with the squad we got" is a hell of a big statement to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squad bloating is to my mind one of the reasons we haven't won promotion as a club. Instead of paying a truly exceptional player £40k a week to help lead us into the top flight, inspiring those around him and lifting the whole club, we've wanted to bring in four players all much of a muchness on £15k a week who may or may not make the squad on matchday. If we continue that recruitment policy I shall continue to be disappointed. It has a negative effect on the overall squad morale because a lot of the senior players aren't getting a chance because we have too many senior players.
