NUFC transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

I think the point is that we need more goals from players other than Ba and Cisse.

 

The goal Cabaye scored against the spackems is a type of goal we rarely ever score where a midfielder arrives in the box just in time to mop up. Our strikers are marked men now, for obvious reasons, as is Ben Arfa. If we could get an additional goal scoring threat - a midfielder with 8 or 9 goals a season in him - it would make a massive difference to us.

 

 

 

I do agree with this but the formation we're playing doesn't allow for that kind of midfielder. Cabaye should be playing that role but he gets completely dominated/nullified in midfield by the other team due to our tactics. He spends his time chasing the ball like a dog would.

 

It was even worse in Europe as we played with 3 defensive midfielders and no attack minded CM last week.

is gary hooper still a remote possibility?  I've been setting up fake blogs and submitting bogus stories in the hopes of engineering this move on a grass roots level but I think it's just been wasted effort

Surprised we're in for another CM tbh (if it's all true). Another indicator that the Anita signing was a bit of a balls-up? I'm being presumptuous, obviously. Just, like i say, surprised we're after another one. I know we sign bargains cos they're bargains, but i'd have expected Ashley to be the type of frugal chairman to limit signings per position. We've got shitloads of CMs on the books, like.

Sissoko in, Gosling out.

 

Would be nice  :lol: as for Anita it is a bit strange but he's not playing at the moment anyway and Sissoko would more likely play instead of Jonas if we were to go for a midfield 3.

 

I get the feeling Anita was seen as Tiote's long term replacement and the management did not expect Bigi to improve this quickly.

2/3 from Cabaye, Tiote, Anita and Sissoko would be jizz inducing. That's a squad, all be it only in midfield. CB, RB and striker in the next 2 transfer windows in addition would leave us in good shape.

 

No outgoings obviously. Which is more important, obviously.

 

I'd say we are desperate for a winger

Not as desperate as we are for an RB, CB or ST imo.

Aye although it depends on the system 4-4-2 would mean a winger and 4-3-3 would mean a wide forward.

 

I still don't know why we didn't go for Mirallas.

 

 

:lol: he's a solid defender mind but he's far too old.

6 months older than Colo.
