Are we waiting on the Andy Carroll medical? Yes everything else agreed. Looks like it's full steam ahead for Andy Carroll's return to Newcastle. He's agreed personal terms. Initial one-year contract. I know they say "Never go back", but he'll be utterly ecstatic about rejoining #NUFC. @oliverkaytimes

I'm with Bayern. This window has been a dogs dinner. Players we don't need, vitally important positions for his formation not filled. Not enough players moved on. It's the work of someone with a scrambled mind, making it up as he goes along. This 100%. We are so desperate to see Jones succeed we happily turn a blind eye and ignore the fact that his actions are diametrically opposed to his words. I guess we just have to go with it as he will succeed or fail based on his own work. Which actions are diametrically opposed to his words?

Even if somehow we got Gayle in, is it really going to make a big difference with 10 other non players?

It's the work of someone with a scrambled mind, making it up as he goes along. And it’s so obvious it is too. There’s been no rhyme nor reason to any of it. To suggest otherwise is just having blind faith.

Gayle deal is off, failed to find middle ground on fee.
Stoke were holding out for double announcement with CCV. Who will be unveiled within the hour

I guess we just have to go with it as he will succeed or fail based on his own work. Which actions are diametrically opposed to his words? "I want a young, fast, athletic squad" - signs Lee Gregory and Stephen Ward "We need a real real specialist left back" - plays McClean at left back "The players we will bring in will have to be better than what we have" - with the exception of Powell they aren't really are they "Bojan is a big part of what we do here" - doesn't play Bojan Shall I go on?

Saying he wants a young squad doesn’t mean he can’t sign older players. He’s also signed younger players as well .... If McClean doesn’t come off then Jones will rightly cop some stick for it but he could still be a success as a LB. Bojan .... it was the right thing to do in my opinion, clearly his opinion of Bojan changed over a period of time. It’s a bit silly to hold things like this against him.

I guess we just have to go with it as he will succeed or fail based on his own work. Which actions are diametrically opposed to his words? Fast exciting football- slow and plodding- as better observers than me pointed out the first game of the season seemed like the 47th of the previous. Full back is a specialist position in the Diamond- so we use a left winger. A CDM ( again crucial to his system) that has not played in that position for his previous club- so he goes on the fact that when he last had him ( some 3 years previous) he did well? Most recently- we lacked pace and energy for 60 minutes; when was the change made - 70+ minutes.

Indeed; he signed a mixture of youth and experience for Luton. Their squad's average age last year was just under 27 years old, whereas ours was 28 years 6 months. This season, we're already down to 27 years and 3 months. People seem obsessed about this 'Jones and youth' angle.

It’s silly to expect his actions to match his words? Maybe you can see some reasons for his actions not matching up to his words but it doesn’t change the fact that, to be frank, he seems to talk complete and utter shite

As mentioned in a previous post McClean at LB is a big call and Jones will rightly cop stick if it doesn’t work. Same goes for Cousins. Your last point seems very pedantic.
