As a Newcastle fan you approach the transfer window (particularly the January transfer window) with emotional caution. Yes, we need reinforcements. We always need reinforcements but our season so far has exposed our squad depth, or lack thereof, and we’ve suffered for it.
Let me to refer you to Newcastle’s bench away against Paris St-Germain where we had seven subs to PSG’s eight, and three of them children called up to train from the U-21s only a couple of weeks prior, and two of them were goalkeepers. None made it onto the pitch.
As for the transfer window, where we hope for back up, for spending, for fresh legs, instead we find a strange limbo for all clubs: players going for inflated prices and most clubs reluctant to move things around in the middle of their campaigns.
