Gus targets Premiership signing before loan window closes

[clippedgull]

Argus:

Poyet: "I'm trying really hard to get one player if possible. If we are going to get a player he has to be really class, probably a Premiership player. We have got practically everybody back now (from injury) which means in terms of quantity we are perfect. I prefer not to say the position because of speculation, but i'm working very hard on it"

The financial implications of a further loan signing is thought to have played a part in goalkeeper Steve Harpers return to Newcastle.

Poyet: "It was a difficult call because he has been a great professional, but you have to take everything into consideration when you have got a budget"

Is it in goal where the problem lies?

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Poor call if it was ours re Harper ESP as he says everyone is at fit as fleas

 

[Rugrat]

Somebody to get hold of and run MF, and that can stay injury free ..... please!

He said we've nearly got everyone back from injury. Anyway being fit doesn't make them good enough. You can't judge whether or not it's a good call until we know who he gets in.

The one position we are crying out for is a quality,box to box strong cm......any other position other than gk and I think Bloom should send for the men in white coats for Gus....Steve Sidwell,Dickson Ethu

 

[kevtherev]

Hargraves would fit in well down here atm lol

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

What are the chances we sign a tippy tappy midfielder, leaving the frail defence and goalkeeper to limp on!

 

[Jim in the West]

Obviously Harper has gone back to free up funds for central midfielder. Makes sense.

Let the speculation and rumours begin

I wish Gus wouldn't come out with these statements tbh, all it does is get my hopes up and I know I'll clock watch until the window closes hoping for this big signing which won't come, anyone remember "the player with presence" :shrug;

I would rather go for a big, quality forward that can hold up the ball and be a foil for CMS.

It just does not work playing CMS up front on his own. Paynter and Barnes are not the answer.

Is that not Vicente or possibly even Reyes.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

I wish we would sign an absolute head case in midfield, it wont do our disciplinerary record any favours but I'd feel a lot better.

I was hoping that would be Reyes but Gus obviously wants to play him in defence.

 

[BensGrandad]

How about Peter Lovenkrands from Newcastle but I suppose having signed Lua Lua permanently the answer would be no.

I know what you're getting at, but a player can't hold the ball up it if it never gets that far up the pitch!!

How long until the window closes? (Not that it is even open yet.)
