Guest Emerson Sheik Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 We're after M'Baye Niang according to footmercato. He's currently on trial at Arsenal though. Highly rated kid. Wears the number 9 shirt for his club as well. I'm sure we are aware of him due to our scouting in France but I'm not sure we will pay £5M for a player only 17 years old.

Barnes23 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 iandovaston @skydovaston #NUFC fans should watch out for possibilty of CP's Nathaniel Clyne coming in to replace Danny Simpson. Pretty big step down from Debuchy IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolution Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 iandovaston @skydovaston #NUFC fans should watch out for possibilty of CP's Nathaniel Clyne coming in to replace Danny Simpson. Pretty big step down from Debuchy IMO. In terms of current ability yes there's a gap, but I think Clyne is going to go on to be really good. He's got talent in pretty much every area of his game. I would be happy with Clyne if we are unable to get Debuchy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 iandovaston @skydovaston #NUFC fans should watch out for possibilty of CP's Nathaniel Clyne coming in to replace Danny Simpson. Pretty big step down from Debuchy IMO. I mean, the guy's only 21 so he and Santon could lock-down fullback for years. But still give me Debuchy. Hell let's get 'em both.

taxfree Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I'll be very disappointed if we miss out on Debuchy now. Clyne would be a good second option, but I'd still feel a bit gutted. Also, I don't think we'll get Niang. Not when reading how much he's reportedly going for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I think we have known for a while that Clyne is one of the back up options to Debuchy, in any case i think we will get Debuchy. He has supposedly made it clear to Lille he wants to join and Lille are not exactly asking De Jong money for him, so i think it will get done.

Guest taps01 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Id be happy enough with Clyne. The reviews i have heard about him from people who have actually seen him play he sounds like he would be a substantial upgrade on Simpson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Wiki: He plays primarily as a striker, though his influence can extend out to the wings and the attacking midfield positions I think he could also be good as an out and out wing-back who likes to drift centrally and control the game from the centre cricle. With his sharp short passing game, he can switch the play from one flank to the other in an instant. He's also got a great backheel on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Don't think we would have a problem shelling out 5m if we think he will be worth three times that in a five years. Does seem excessive though. As for Clyne, I still think there is the outside possibility of us getting him and Debuchy. We were open to keeping Simpson if we signed Debuchy so it is possible we might want a replacement. He can also play at LB and we are still a little weak there.

afar Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I would be more than happy with Clyne in Simpson out, Clyne and Debuchy in Simpson out would be even better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Clyne and Tav fighting for that right spot would do me, obviously want Debuchy after what I saw for Lille / Euros but wouldn't be end of world if end up with Clyne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Has already been mentioned I think but I do really like Clyne from the limited viewings and the lot I have heard about him. Would be very excited if he signs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
