NUFC transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

If ya think Hernandez's goals will be as easily found here as they were at Man U/Madrid you've another thing coming. Doesn't create his own chances, too much of a poacher and will need more support than we can give him.

A bit of chatter on twitter that we've made an offer for Thauvin, source being La Provence (assume that's a local Marseille paper?)

Looks a talent but sounds a massive twat. I thought we were all about signing the right characters this summer?

 

Still, McClaren doesn't have a history of being a massive twat so maybe he might be able to put an arm around the lad and sort him out.

He's very talented but he really looks and is sort of a cunt. Almost as the club is getting desperate now if true (talking about character)

 

Every manager we have had down the years has talked about signing players with the right character but if they are good then they cost top dollar. Then if you are lucky and the top clubs haven't already signed them, you might have a look in assuming you are serious about character. We tend to put more of a premium on profit which means buying at a low price. I doubt that's about to change with the arrival of McClaren.

We were a far better side when we allowed for talents with questionable character.  We certainly had a few during Robson's time.  Management is often about managing players like these.  It's something autocratic types like Souness and Pardew just can't deal with.  I don't know too much about McClaren's general man management, but didn't he have a few enigmas in his Boro side when they were doing well?

Matip is pretty popular amongst Schalke fans and has already stated he wants to stay at the club. I have a feeling we're being used as an angle in his contract dispute.

 

He's come on loads in the last year mind and is equally adept at playing in defence or midfield.

I'd say he's more of that ilk, he's faster over short distance I reckon and more powerful. Does make some bad decisions tho, so there is that. He's fun to watch like

 

Cheers, we need more direct widemen for sure. We don't have any but Aarons.

Graeme Bailey from goal.com says we will sign either Thauvin or Matip this week and possible both. Also we still want Austin.

 

If we started the summer with these three we'd be on our way to something approaching decent.

 

We'll sign exactly none.
