We want to sign good players not just bodies. Expectations are irrelevant to whether competency. No surgeon expects their patient to die in surgery but they sometimes do and it isn’t always a result of incompetence.

You have no idea who we have tried to sign.

You’re so right. All of our competitors are just signing 20 goal a season attackers for buttons whereas we just sit on our hands because we love not scoring.

Don’t think we are purposefully waiting to the end of the window mate, but players are waiting for what they perceive as better deals. Take Fofana, he may come - but he might also end up at say Chelsea of Bayern. If the three possibilities are...

Newcastle are owned by the biggest sovereign wealth fund in the world. We are owned by a bunch of car salesman. There is a bit of a difference.

We don’t score a lot of goals either. Is that a deliberate strategy or just the way stuff goes?

What if none of the other options are available at the moment either? It’s Catch 22. We want be buy good players now, but good players don’t want to move to us now, they want to assess all of their options, we therefore either have to be patient...

We aren't waiting until the end of the window, though- we are actively trying, very hard it seems, to sign players. The issue is, convincing them to come. People would moan if we signed average players but moan also when we try to sign quality...

I know nothing of the sort. Time also will not tell. It’s quite possible for us to have a window which doesn’t meet our expectations without anyone being incompetent.

Waiting until the end of the window isn't out strategy. It's just the way things have turned out because the players we want aren't available yet. Are you happy for us to get our 20th target for every position for the sake of a few weeks and not...

The only way to attract these better players is to give them more money, a lot more sigh. I feel sorry for the manager.

People need to get away from the idea that just because things don't work out exactly the way we want it is evidence of incompetence. The transfer market is competitive, selling clubs and the players targeted all have their own set of interests...

Carsley or Neville played there.

Yep, he knocks it and runs in behind. Doesn’t look scared to take a shot from distance either. I like the look of him.

Again very small sample size but I like the way he wants to play a first time pass and instantly try to get in behind Will speed up our attacks and help us break teams down
