so who is the new player

[FLAIRtastic]

This talk of Fryatt is pure shit. He will not join us considering top Championship teams are sniffing around. We also will not sign Charlie Austin for exactly the same reason plus i don't think that we will pay 1mil plus until we reach the championship. Moan over.

We do have quite a few idiots on here though who actually believe we could sign those type of players.

Time is now begining to run out to bring in a loan before 5pm tomorrow so can we expect NSC to go into meltdown very soon.

The problem for Gus is, if he wants to get someone on loan with a view to a permanent signing in Jan. Then that player has to be Championship standard player. What would be the point in signing a player that is not that standard, if the aim is promotion, which it clearly is. Also anyone that thinks Poyet would be happy to tread water in the championship and just stay up is dreaming. This man is a winner and aiming for the top asap, getting a player to sign now and also be part of a top half championship side must be almost impossible..Targets like Fryatt and Austin is exactly what Poyet is looking at, getting them is a different kettle of fish altogether.

 

[Sam Ovett]

You can trust he will get at least someone in that will make you go "Nice work!"

end of season murry can go on a free, I assume GUS has offered him a new contract but he has not signed so in comes Santadez and woods plus talk of a big name heard that we might be after a swindon player inexchange for murry plus some cash no idea who it is

 

[Sam Ovett]

I think there have been around 20-30 names thrown around thus far I think that Gus is looking hard and will get his man. Whatever the player I am sure he'll be good!

 

[blue2]

i agree Gus will supply the right type of player, Murry is a bit special at this level and the club needs to either cash in on him while they can in mabe a player swap or keep him on the bench while playing others in the hope that not being in the shop window will force Murry to sign the new contract

 

[FLAIRtastic]

I don't think there will be a signing, i just wish Gus wouldn't say what he does about special signings!

it was a cunning psychological ploy to make an unwanted player want to come and play at the shitdean.

I think you're missing what Murray brings to the all round team. Without Murray on the pitch last night, we did not create ONE decent chance inside the penalty box, not that I can remember anyway. When Murray came on, he won free kicks, the Penalty, and held the ball up superbly against Jaidi, no-one could ever doubt that. With Wood up alongside him Barnes didnt have a chance, because he had absolutely no service. Barnes is'nt a hold up player, so those saying how "Shit" he was last night in my opinion dont have a clue what there talking about. Barnes is similar to Austin in that he gets in good goalscoring positions, i have no idea how, but he has a knack of being in the right place at the right time, and by hoofing it up to him in the first half when he was up against Fonte he had no chance.
Barnes has 7 league goals this year, one less than Austin, just to put things into perspective. If it'd been Austin up alongside Chris Woods in the first half, it would have made no difference, because Austin like Barnes needs the ball into feet, or balls into the box. Murray brings Bennett, Lua Lua, Sparrow and his supporting striker into the game, something which is CRUCIAL.
I'd rather have Murray and Barnes than Austin and Barnes.

yes, this innit

Why all the talk of Austin? Murray is a far better player. And if getting Austin means losing Murray, you can forget it in my view.

Yep, i'd go with that too.
If you look at Murray's record, every striker he's played with has scored goals, because he gets his strike partner involved. When he was at Rochdale, Le fondre scored, when he played with Forster, Forster scored, and now Ashley Barnes has hit form like never before in his career. Thats no coincidence in my view.
Even if you look at Austin, he's scored goals with a big hold up man next to him (Paynter last season, Pericard this). In my eyes, the most crucial of the two strikers is someone like Murray, because without him, your "in the box goalmachine" wont have any service.

But the question is, I suppose, what Gus thinks.

 

[HP Seagull]

Not looking good.

Poyet: I'm not expecting a signing From The Argus)

 

[severnside gull]

I don't think there will be a signing

Gus agrees apparently (quoted in the Argus)

Just hope it's mind games. *clutching at straws*

 

[vulture]

mr f*** all again like going back to when knight was in charge

I'm sure its a case that either the player he wants isn't available or wants too much money.
Not the best time of year to be after players, Most squads are settled & in all honesty the type of player who'd improve our squad would have to be open to a lot of persuasion to drop down a league or two.

I'm sure Gus will bring strengthen significantly in January.
