Chicken Dancer Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Would also take Declan Rice from West Ham. No chance. Distinctly average and a bit of a cunt as well. Would cost shit loads too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Grealish from Villa would be superb and a proper Bobby Robson kind of transfer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankles Bennett Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I wonder whether Perez is regretting leaving NUFC now. Perhaps Sissoko will be instructing his agent to get him a move back to NUFC this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalove Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Not the way our fans treated him and doubt Sissoko would want to give up his champions league final after for an extra 3-4 years with us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Come on then, going off Amanda's first bid numbers, we've got £100m to spend over the first two windows. You can add what you generate to the budget. Who do you buy and sell? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Luque Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Wouldn't have any ex-players back except maybe Rondon and Mbabu. All the others can fuck off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny36 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Would love Grealish, be interesting to see what striker they go for. Surely Carroll, Gayle and Muto will be off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjmc Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Depends how ruthless they want to be do they just rip up contracts for players such as elliott and colback and loan out anyone else even if it means supplementing their wages indefinitely. As I have said before the entire squad to me depending on budget is expendable, obviously noises now are its not a spent a billion building an elite squad its a slower burn which makes sense we dont have any european football/champions league yet so why spent 100 million a player to get that sort in when its not needed *yet. Some of the plodders need to go but will not attract much in terms of revenue. We need a striker or 2 now, left back and right back, central midfielder (who can score) and thats probably 200 million right there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was 200 million including infrastructure improvements. £200m is the figure they gave to the Premier League, as part of the "fit and proper test" to get their purchase of the club approved. Lets put it this way . . . "they are very, very, unlikely to be planning to restrict themselves to that arbitrary figure". It was just given because they needed to give a figure, it is meaningless !!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhog63 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I like our old model of bringing in proven players, in pairs, from successful pedigree clubs. Like Rush and Barnes, for example. Butt and Smith. Classy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 If villa go down we've got to take a closer look at Grealish. Seems our kind of player. I'd also hope we'd join the chase for Bellingham. But above all else we need a striker. I'd be happy going back for Rondon under Rafa with Joelinton playing a sub role and concentrate on other areas of the squad. Willems perm and possibly another rose loan to top it off. Need to sell all our right backs and buy one which is decent. So much work to be done. You could spend £500-600m and still have room to improve. Baby steps in the right direction, that's all we need for now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It couldn't have come at a better time and why they won't reject it. It was approved the minute it landed on their doorstep but are going through the motions to seem like it's something worthwhile.

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Provided we stay up and this takeover goes through of course... McGinn - Very good centre midfielder, strengthens an area in which we’re solely lacking Fraser - Out of contract in the summer at Bournemouth, excellent player Edouard - We’re clearly desperate for a goalscorer and despite playing in an inferior league, I think this guy has the quality we’re looking for We won’t be able to drastically overhaul the team in just a couple windows, hopefully it will be a gradual evolution Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Keeper: Not needed right now. Center backs: Not needed right now. Fullbacks: We need better fullbacks on both sides, but we have loads of fullbacks on the books already. Yedlin, Manquillo, Krafth, Willems, Rose and Dummett. Since Rose and Willems are loans, I'd focus on getting in a quality left back as first priority and stick with the current right backs for another season. Central midfield: We lack someone that can make things happen from midfield. Graelish would be perfect as a first priority target for midfield. Let Hayden, Shelvey, Longstaffs battle it out for the more holding duties in midfield for another season. Wingers: Not a priority position with ASM and Almiron here. Maybe look for an available stop gap reserve/bench player that adds more to the team than Atsu and Ritchie. Maybe it's possible to make Lazaro a permanent transfer if he impresses in training/future matches. Striker: We need one. Main part of any transfer budget should go towards a new striker. Overall priority for next season: 1. Striker 2. Attacking central midfielder 3. Left back 4. Back-up winger Maybe in the context of the people hopefully taking over, this is a bit unambitious, but I don't expect them to go full Chelsea/Man City. I think it would potentially ruin the joy of any future success for me personally. If we manage to improve the team gradually, which in turn gradually improves the quality of football and results I am happy with that. Getting three quality players in those first three positions would also have a positive effect on the other players already here. I think that should be enough to be comfortably top half of the table, maybe competing for EURO cup next season provided we have a decent manager.

Mikky Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I’d definitely buy a couple of strikers Cedric Bakambu Luca Jovic Jozef Martinez William Jose Timo Werner Any 2 of the above for the time being Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I'd sell/release the following: *All valuations are for a post-corona market/allowing for reduced transfer budgets so may look on the low side for both sale and purchases. - Shelvey £8m - Ritchie £6m - Colback free - Rob Elliot free - Darlow £1m - Gayle £8m - Krafth £1m - Atsu £4m - Carroll free That gives me £28m income, reduction in wages and an overall budget of £128m. For me;- Max Aarons - £18m Merino - £22m (think him and Longstaff under Rafa would be immense). Rondon - £12m (teacher for Joelinton who stays for me for the time being at least) Martinez - £18m (Replacement for Carroll/Gayle) N'Soki - £15m Grealish - £40m That spend brings me to £125m and I'll use the £3m leftover on potatoes to throw at anyone in the stands who sung a pro-Bruce song at any point.

Guest neesy111 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 No way are we getting £8M for Gayle, all championship clubs will be near broke after this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 No way are we getting £8M for Gayle, all championship clubs will be near broke after this. He's still a guarantee of goals and that might be a huge advantage in respect of getting to the big money of the PL. I'd imagine there'd still be some ambitious owners/gamblers prepared to take that chance imho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjmc Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 No way are we getting £8M for Gayle, all championship clubs will be near broke after this. Agree due to his age and his fitness issues his stock has fallen further he is a 5m player at best, more than likely if we want his squad place I can see us being happy with a loan fee of 2 million just to get him off the books.
