NUFC transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

The sun claim initial Austin talks have taken place. We'll get him I think.

 

I think him tweeting Shearer is a sign aswell :lol:

 

I think he was already at QPR when McClaren coached there for a couple of months so that may help.

And most important of all. He's got the right DNA.

The CIES Football Observatory, an academic group based on Switzerland, created an econometric algorithm that looks at the variables involved in over 1,500 transfers since 2009 to determine the most likely moves to happen this summer.

 

What an absolutely scandalous waste of precious oxygen.

How do we know he's agreed to have no say in transfers? If anything surely their friendship will make communication even better between Carr & manager when it comes to recruitment you'd think?

Lee Charnley said it ages ago. Hence head coach and not manager.

He'll have a say, just not the final say.

The new head coach will have to set out to us what his playing style is, what his philosophy is and what he looks for in his team because that then impacts on what we look for in terms of recruitment. It all works together.

 

The head coach picks the team. We don’t interfere in that. If the relationship works in the right way and everyone is going in the same direction and believes in our strategy and policy then there is no point in us buying a player that the head coach doesn’t want because he doesn’t play him and we don’t get the best out of our investment.

 

When someone says: ‘Does he have any say (in transfers)?’ Yes. Does he have the final say? No he doesn’t. There’s a difference there.

 

We hope it’s a happy marriage.

 

We want someone who sees the bigger picture because my thinking will always be medium to long-term. When people talk about what we’re going to do in this transfer window, I am looking at the next transfer window and the window after and what impact it will have on that. Are there better opportunities if we wait three or four months rather than committing now?

 

It’s trying to find that balance but also an individual in a head coach that trusts us. If we say ‘You aren’t going to get that now but you will in the summer’, it’s someone who is prepared to say ‘OK’ and trusts us to do that.

 

It’s also someone that for example, if we were to get an offer for a player that is at a value that we want to take, isn’t nervous about getting a replacement. There has to be a trust.

 

We want to make things better and improve things but sometimes our timelines might not meet. His requirements might be short-term but our view on some occasions may well be we’d rather wait because we can get better options and better value. Between me and the head coach and Graham, it’s a relationship that will have to develop. He will have to trust and believe in what we do.

These past few posts are the main reason I want Austin to sign for NUFC tbf. All the WWE puns and gifs on here would easily be worth the 15m imho.
