The transfer dealings at St James Park
The transfer window always reminds me of Christmas. Full of expectation, excitement and then suddenly it becomes something an anti-climax once it is over. Some are happy with their presents, while others are left seething at the lack of effort that was put in. City fans are undoubtedly happy with their lot this summer, although others are bound to be disappointed.
It has been a relatively quiet transfer window as clubs remain cautious with their transfer spending, given the current climate. Chairman may have had little option but to be prudent, but it doesn’t stop supporters feeling slightly disappointed that a few more gambles haven’t taken place. Surprisingly a lot of managers have actually been sympathetic towards the situation, highlighting the curse of high wages that has made transfer dealings all the more difficult, rather than bemoaning the lack of backing from their club chairman, while others have simply made the best out of the stagnant transfer market, negotiated well and brought in some real bargains.
So how has Newcastle’s transfer window been and have you been happy, or disappointed, by the progress that has been made? Has Chris Hughton done enough to ensure that the Magpies will progress this season? Do you foresee any last minute deals in the last 24hrs of the transfer window?

Nice one “Nut”… I would be happy with Ashley making some money out of the club, he will still wants it to improve so he’ll do the right thing financially… I hope you’re right about CH, but be doesn’t have an Accountancy degree…. Anyway….. Ben Arfa (26 games played this season hopefully), Gosling… We are Arsenal but with fight. I have to acknowledge Guthrie and Calderwood too… I can’t help feeling lucky to witness this birth right now…

(King Quinny)I’d be happy staying up you fool… It’s progress, what have you got, a couple of youngsters that are going to leave for the sake of their careers… Attitude and mentality are everything… The crowd will not let us end up like Sunderland at least…
(Super Mac) love your conviction but I don’t think you see the bigger picture… Football’s a business and Newcastle United are a business that is growing…
