I think they know they want to, I don't think they know if they can get the players they want before the summer.
Big dilemma and potential problem for the club. A complete miss management of our transfer strategy in the last couple of transfers windows has led to this. Bit of a shit show.

Don't think it was mis managed. Think they had plenty of reasons for doing what they did. They'd have hoped ithad worked out better obviously. Overall though think waiting until next summer to reboot was the plan.Big dilemma and potential problem for the club.

And will you be happy if we end up with a couple of Phillips clones stuck on the books?A couple of hungry new players sends the message though doesnt it and maybe puts a rocket up some arses?

Panic buying might help make it look like that. Sticking with their ongoing approach and making do with what we have till the summer, does not.

Get the feeling the club don’t know if to bring a couple of players in this window or just wait till the summer..wouldn’t be surprised if we didn’t bring anyone in but in my opinion we badly need fresh faces in this window..
We'll want to bring in players this window, if available. What we won't do is panic buy and end up in a situation where we've got more players who aren't at the required level. There's plenty of talent out there, it's whether we can bring it in this month or not. Whilst the CL place might be at stake without reinforcements, if the club can get it's top targets this month they will. If we can't then we'll wait to the summer. No one wants us to add more mediocrity, that's not going to resolve anything.

I read that in the voice of the Geordie Big Brother voice over guy.Day 6 and we haven’t even got a verbal agreement for a player.

Looking at the bigger picture, I think we have enough to get a top 4 place, Yes maybe a couple of new players will freshen up the squad and then get some players back from injuries, The title is gone long ago and the truth is it was going to happen one day and its happened this season.
But little signs at the weekend that we are getting some firepower back and the build-up to Haaland first goal was City of old, Also KDB has played a couple of 90 minutes and his game is slowly coming back.
But it's scary how open we are in midfield and when we press it only takes one pass and they are out and on the attack, Also the short corner is crazy when our defenders are in the box and we fuck it up
We have no midfield, we have no press, we have no defense, we have no one who can find Haaland regularly outside of KDB, Nunes & Savinho and we have enough to get top 4??
Would you get that by trusting the same bunch that have 2 wins in 13 and allowed West Ham to almost get 5 goals vs us??
Need atleast 2 midfielders, a CB & a RB to be able to press and have legs in midfield.

I’d say it has been. Apparently we were not going to bring in a midfielder last summer and Gundogan was just an opportunity that presented itself at the last minute. Madness. Furthermore, to sell Alvarez and not bring in a replacement was beyond ridiculous imo. Then we have players that have been bought that are clearly nowhere near good enough.
