NUFC transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

Are you saying Mirallas is shit?

He's what you get for 6m. Scored 21 goals for Everton since 2012.

 

Yeah but he's not a striker. 21 goals over 3 seasons is a good haul for a winger.

Thats pretty darn good for a winger. He'd probably be our best player

He's a flat out winger in a 442? Always thought he played wide forward myself.

 

On the left of a 4-2-3-1. Martinez has treated him horribly though (bar that missed penalty)

So, 6m gets you in the region of 7 goals a season then....

10m gets you nothing these days as evidenced by Riviere costing 4m.

 

:lol:  Still hope he can get to grips next season.  Anyway depends on the market you buy in and how good your scouts are.  Riviere is an exception rather than a rule.

Not exactly convinced Austin is anything special personally, just looks like an average poacher who every season this league brings up and then they disappear into the abyss.

 

Agree. I feel like it could be similar to both James Beattie and Andy Johnson's moves to Everton.

Adam Armstrong – the player tipped to make a breakthrough – will be sent out on loan next year in a bid to speed up his development after reservations about his form in the latter part of the campaign.

 

That would be his form in those handful of appearances where he was thrown on at the death into games we were quite rightly losing?  Aye, strong indicator of his ability those.

£15 million is a bit pricey in my opinion for Austin, however, I'd rather spend a £15m gamble on him than £6m on a Riviere type signing. Austin/Cisse/Perez is decent, could be really good if we would provide the service to them.

We refused to pay £15m in the past 3 years on PEA & Lacazette now we are going to pay that for Austin? Not convinced that we will and certainly not convinced he is worth that amount. Then again as has been said you dont get a great deal for £10m or less most the time now.

Whey aye... Mike said on Sky that "...we are now in a position [financially] to 'punch above our weight'..."

Berisha has been dogshit for the last three years until a few months ago. Cant see him ever being good enough for the PL.

So because he's been shite before he can't develop and be a better player? This season he's been great and that is what matters, not what he did 2 og 3 years ago. As i say, he's probably not ready for the PL yet, but imo he had the potensial.

:) I've bought what Mike is selling :)

 

I don't think for one minute that Mike will splash the cash or at least that amount of cash. I'm pretty certain nothing will change regarding the club apart from maybe telling the fans and the media that the FA Cup is something that interests us whilst making little or no effort to actually do well. Fair play to their policy, ignoring the cups was a sterling idea last season wasn't it :)

Berisha is playing for my local team, and I've seen most of his games since he broke into the first team. And he is not nearly good enough for us, or any other Premier League team. And probably never will be. In October last year he scored his for the first time in a year, after starting almost every game he's been fit for. We even tried to get rid of him last summer, but no one wanted him except some of the other mid-table clubs in Tippeligaen that wanted to loan him... Theres always been big expectations for him, and pressure, because of his brother Valon, who actually was pretty good for us. And I'd much rather we went after him than Veton if we had to get one of the Berisha-brothers.

 

Tbf to him he's been surprisingly good this season, but I'd say it takes more than 2-3 months of good playing for a team in Norway before you can be considered a talent for Premier League clubs when you are 21. He should prove that he is able to perform like that consistently before he even considers taking a big step like that.

 

As you can see, not the most impressive stats for a striker:

If we are looking at Viking-players, we should look at Yann-Erik De Lanley instead. 23 year old attacking winger, who has proven himself for several seasons. Underrated as hell here in Norway IMO, and probably Vikings best player. Kristoffer Ajer from Start could also be a good recruitment for the talent squad.

Can see him doing good here for one season and then being bought by someone else or going back to Chelsea. No thanks.
