I think dke has done ok and will get better! Dont think this new lad is better than him we need to start developing our own players.
This is the earliest in the day I've ever seen the club do anything.
Breaking DONE DEAL - Coventry sign Newcastle's Sterry Posted at09:05
And there we have it, folks. The first signing of deadline day.
The honour goes to League One side Coventry City, who have brought in Newcastle United full-back Jamie Sterry, 20, on loan until 3 January 2017.
and proof that moaners should just wait till end of transfer window like the adults on this forum told them too
No, if we have any intention of getting out of this league, if this lad is judged to be betterShould we not just develop dke as opposed to a Newcastle 20yr old

That's absolute rubbish, sorry.
It's not proof of anything, as you can see clearly our squad is weaker and smaller than last year. A couple of deadline day signings won't make much change to that in the grand scheme of things.
What rubbish. You are saying if we get a couple more good players in it wont make a difference! Good players make the team better, in the grand scheme of things.........

So whilst a couple of additions would be very welcome, the team is weaker than last year. So in the grand scheme of things, people's concerns are still valid. Nothing un-adult about it, as the original poster has tried to make out.
Mate if we signed Ronaldo, Messi and and a 21 year old Maradonna you'd still complainNo, he's been getting on his high horse all preseason criticising anyone that has had a single doubt about the squad.
I'm saying that people are concerned because we're not as strong as last year, and our recent results would suggest we're not particularly good, wouldn't you agree? That's a fair judgment for people to make.

Hey all, NUFC fan here and glad to Sterry join you after the success with Armstrong last season.
Really thought he was ready for the step up this season but then we sign 2 right backs so that put and end to those hopes.
He's a good defender likes to get forward a bit and is hard as f#ck in the tackle (you may see a red card or too). Seen him in a pre season game this year and thought he was a stand out amount the rest, links up play really well right side.
No I think he's got a point. Although we can't make final judgement until the window closes, with the squad we already had we have managed 2 points and 3 goals in 5 league games. Our squad is altogether weaker and has less depth than last year, so the concerns are valid.
If we pull through another 3/4/5 players to strengthen each area then just maybe we can be comparable, but even 2 more signings is unlikely to bring the team to the level of last season.
What's your opinion on the current squad, good enough? Comparable to last season's team?

Our opinions differ then. We aren't miles and miles away with the recent weeks signings and Sterry now too. Defense was a real worry for me.Generally i would say we are stronger in every position bar up front (at the moment). But our strikers really do look much weaker so far this season, hopefully they will kick it up a notch or we bring in AA#2.If we bring in 1 proven goal scorer (crazy i know right) i think we would be sitting pretty.
why are you saying its weaker as if it is FACT?
you are already dismissing any new signings too which shows the world how bias you are. you just want to be negative
you and the other kids moaned and moaned. adults told you to wait till window closes. now it looks like we will have a big squad with 2 players for each position. just admit you were wrong like you were about jacob murphy
You are obsessed about being right, so I wonder if you have some sort of self-esteem issues? Also, trying so hard to boast about being adult makes me think you are probably anything but. Just because you believed we would be amazingly better off doesn't make you right, or have the ground to try and put other people down.
For the record, I haven't dismissed any of the new signings whatsoever, I actively encourage them and are pleased we are still doing business. What I have said is that regardless of who we sign (unless they really fucking amaze us), our overall team is still weaker than last year. It's impossible to back that up with fact which is why you've tried to call me out on it, but if you look at our league position after a few games compared to last season, and look at the performances on the pitch, we aren't there yet it in almost any aspect. That also doesn't mean however, that I don't want us to well. I really hope we kick on this season, but I think as it stands people need a reality check if they think we're going to storm the league.
I won't go into Murphy, because it has bored everyone to do death, but the points I made were valid ones, even if you don't agree.
Ok, i do kind of see your point. But if you took Armstrong out the squad last year where do u think we would of finished? That one player made a hell of a difference. If we could find 2 players to have the same impact he had, dont you think it it would improve the team?
if murphy was so shit then we wont miss him???
you like knee jerk reactions. because we had a slow start you think we are shit. i assume this time last year you put all your money on 100pt plus promotion?
