Doesn’t need an investigation ffs. 

 

 

 

I've been watching back clips of our last few games and Lascelles has to go before this guy does. Convinced we only won that Leeds game because Lascelles had to go off.

Lascelles is too slow and cumbersome on the ball to play in Howe's setup. Almost every dangerous situation came about from Lascelles having terrible awareness or being too slow. Genuinely think if he drops out of the team we will be on our way the rest of the season now.

It's one or the other, they have shown the level we are looking to attain.  We just need to stay up.  Then we can get Botman, Carlos etc.  They have made it clear we would sign them now if we can for a reasonable fee, the same with others.  We can't fill the squad with players that need to be replaced in the summer.

Solid point. If it's a case of one or the other has to be Origi we look to bring in. That guy has a knack for scoring important goals.

Lots of reports saying Origi is now available. We have to go for him IMO.

Contract is running down for this summer too, and so he can be had for around £10 million apparently. No brainer, as he can also play out wide. Good alternative to the Lingard deal we were looking at.

Potentially getting both Origi and Nketiah for around £15 to £20 million would be ridiculous. Would sort out the forward line and wide areas.

Literally about the sign a midfielder that would walk into 4 of the top 6 and already some are sticking on Atmosphere by Joy Division because we've been linked with Nketiah

22 year old record goal scorer for England under 21s coming in to add depth to our options upfront and it's doom and gloom!

Everyone saying he isn’t very good yet one of the best strikers we and England have ever had Shearer has nothing but good things to say about him. 

He's a talent. He just hasn't been managed very well by Arsenal and so it's hard to say exactly what he'll become really. They should have had him out on loan more.

He's the sort I think we could see coming along well under Howe's coaching, and with more regular game time.

It's just be great to have more pace in the team up front. Speed is just such a valuable asset in this league. He'll also have more space to  run into with us, as with Arsenal teams tend to sit in deep, and their play is a lot more patient and intricate.

Eddie can also play in the wide positions, which is always handy. And unlike our other wide players, he will make runs in behind from those positions. Useful , versatile young player with a decent amount of experience of the league to bring in. Solid move IMO.

Spurs are so confused man ... that Brian Gil they signed was another young left footed attacking midfielder, and they seemingly don't know what to do with him, and now they're bringing in Kulusevski who is also quite young and inexperienced, albeit talented.

Not sold on Nketiah but he's a different option compared to Wilson and Wood. He's out of contract so I think it would be a decent low-risk addition. 

Yeah, it's a decent punt on a striker who excelled for the England under 21s, which is where he really made his reputation. 

Howe does like an England under 21 prospect. Similar idea behind the Solanke move from what I recall.

Just now, SUPERTOON said:

Can’t see arsenal letting him go if auba is going 

Nketiah's contract is up this summer. They will be looking to get a fee for him.

I like him. Good player that stretches defenses 

Yeah, decent understudy to Wilson. Has really good movement and pace. Also very active pressing from the front.

The few times I’ve seen him he’s been either great or an absolute lazy bastard. He’s a great finisher and inside the box he’s very good, but outside of it he’s mostly anonymous and doesn’t do much.
 

I might be biased, cause I’m not his biggest fan as he’s a lazy bastard everywhere and possesses nowhere near the talent of a player who should be allowed to do that. He’s no Romario like.

Ah, okay. Fair enough.

Just from a pressing point of view defensively, that doesn't sound great, as it won't work in Howe's setup. Probably why no one's taken a punt on him.

Wilson has more physicality to his game. Gabigol is pretty anonymous whenever he plays for the national side. Does well in a team built around him with lots of movement. which is the exact opposite to us at this point. 
 

 

We need another striker with decent movement and pace that looks to get in behind. Is Gabigol good at that would you say? 

We essentially need an alternative to Wilson, as he's the only striker we have like that really, as Gayle is absolutely done.

So it’s our equal record fee? Big Joe was £40m on the dot as well wasn’t he ?

This one is just short of £40 million.

He'll be picking up Gabi Barbosa while he's there too.

Thought I read somewhere that he is on £25k PW at Lyon and nufc are going to quodruple his salary.

Yeah, I imagine this is closer to the truth, albeit it, even that might be an exaggeration too. These papers are just being ridiculous with this stuff. Pushing the narrative that we are throwing obscene money at players.

We all knew Levy would eventually piss Conte off, but if he manages it to do it this soon, that would be an incredible achievement

I’m gonna say it now, this guy is gonna be absolutely crazy for us, and loved from the off. Put him down for two goals this season imo 

Especially with him coming to us in our current state, being such a young up and coming talent, will be an instant club favourite just for that. If he actually excels right away it is going to be completely out of control how much he'll be appreciated, and I wish the very best for him and he gets to experience that.

Just now, Awaymag said:

Thats just it, I dont know where this info is coming from........is it agents, is it Lyon, is it NUFC, is it just the media guessing and feeding off each other.   Either way, lessons need to be learnt as this is just ridiculous

This is happening with every club and every player linked for goodness sake

Just because you aren't following all of their rumours as closely doesn't mean that's not the case

Personally don't like the club doing their business in public. Like a fucking soap opera.

We aren't doing anything in public. Media are running their mouths like they do on every club's transfers.

Wow, that's pretty cool that they just let him leave earlier. I guess they were just looking to free up the wage space. Sweet deal for you lot.

Watching this guy's clips he looks like he could be the alternative we've turned to after Diego Carlos didn't pan out, as his style looks very similar. Really aggressive, all action defending.

And sorry for my passive aggressive reply, for what its worth I totally agree we shouldn’t pay whatever they ask, the reputation we make for ourselves is very important and if we cave in to everyone its not good.

 

 

 

For sure, no worries pal
