Does that make it generally disagreed that we need four players?

He's Not really a CB though is he?

But can play in most defensive positions.

3 players I believe is what they're looking at + a couple of youngsters to develop.

Norris, Poole , Shaughnessy, Raggett,  Morrell, Devlin and Saydee would all be worth a decent fee if sold at the right end of their contract. Certainly more than we paid for them.  I think Hume is probably the only one we have lost money on, and I think we paid a fee for Scully, which could go either way.

Nothing for Norris, Saydee, Devlin.. Minimal fee for Ragget.

We paid fees for those three, and none of them will have gone down in value. Norris has the best clean sheet record in the league, devlin now has league experience under his belt and started to prove his potential, and Saydee has established a certain reputation that will not have done his value any harm.
Steve, r u 4 real or another WUM? Nothing for an excellent league 1 keeper or a young international? Saydee would also command some sort of fee. Come on

It was a slow news day & everyone was feeling down after the Cheltenham result.

Are you the board editor and moral manager now? Heaven help us.

I don't think that they are good enough for the championship and not many league one teams pay fees these days.
For a top 2 finish we need the following:

- better back up keeper
- a quality centre back
- a quality striker, like Clarke harris
- someone as good as Robertson in midfield
- pacy winger, someone in the mould of poku or Mason Clark at Peterborough

Get those 5 and we have a good chance of top 2.
I thought this was a thread about Mousinho, fast forwarded in about 5 games time.

Of course he’s a centre back. He’s said himself (when he stepped into that position for us) that he had played in that position for Gillingham, I thought you’d know that! 

He also happens to be a very good left back.

Apologies Cunni Not checked Wikipedia recently . Prefer him as anadventutous left back who can tackle & cross a decent ball.

Im actually referring to his performances for us as a central defender and what the player himself has stated.

I’m not sure he would totally agree with your last sentence either, Mikey.
He hasn't said he is a a centre back first and left back second has he ? Just that he can play at centre back.

He is a left back who can cover at centre back very effectively, but he has played 90+% of his career at left back.
Quite correct but I’m not sure what your point is.

It appears that JM thinks that LB is his best position & as he sees him every day in training I'd go with his team selection.

But obviously he's also a back up CB in case of emergency.

Exactly DP that is the point. 

He's very versatile but as most can see including the manager when fit he's an outstanding LB.
Have we got a problem on the left side?
Haven't seen anyone mention Andy Ritchie yet.

Do you mean Matt 
Ritchie? I suspect with Newcastle’s injuries & wages it would be a non starter
Rumours, Twitter, Load of Bollocks and signings.
Whilst we’re waiting for confirmation from the club for Macey. Who else have we been linked with - falsely or otherwise.
George Byers
Jake Young 
Tommy Leigh
George Edmundson
Ronan Hale
And lately Peart- Harris.
 Anymore?

Andy Ritchie would be ideal 20 years ago!

Matt would be good now as a local lad as I recall?

On loan with the Magpies paying most of his wages as they need to get players off their books urgently.

Only, if it's currently fit though.

We could have if Sparkes gets injured. Hume looks like on his way .
Don’t think the Arabs worry much about money
Ogilvie is back training
