NUFC transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

its one thing targeting and going for players, but why would anyone decent even consider moving here in January whilst where odds-on to go down.

 

we might be able to bring them in this summer if we stay up but this January's window is going to be desperate.

 

gonna be a case of just getting some bodies in to pad out the squad.

 

no one of any quality is going to join us in january,

 

Plenty of players will still come regardless of where a side is in the league.  Example, Remy to QPR when they were bottom of the league with only 14 points from 22 games.

I find any faith in Sissoko ridiculous, he can turn beast mode once in a while but he is mostly shit. Thinks he's too good for this team, on his day he is but is way too inconsistent for a champions league club to trust, and if one is more fool them.

Seems to indicate no spending splurge in January  :lol:

I find the faith in Sissoko as a CM hilarious. 3 managers have been here, he's started as CM..... has he ever? It's not going to happen.

Two utterly shite managers and one who is like a rabbit in the headlights tbf.

 

Has to be worth a shot at some stage simply because he could not be worse than our actual CM options.

As far as emergency January deals go, Carrick would be a great deal.

 

Underrated midfielder, tons of PL experience, vocal. Give him the armband.

 

Yes I'm sure another injury prone midfielder who strolls around the centre circle at a leisurely pace is just what we need.

Says more about the managers tbh, the fact his international manager has more faith in him as a CM says it all. Not to mention he was a CM before he came here.

Thought Deschamps plays him wide right too? Definitely did in the World Cup

You don't need to be Guardiola to realise that Sissoko hasn't got the technical ability to play cm. Then again, neither do any of or central midfield players, apart from perhaps Wijnaldum.

 

Sissoko can do more damage from a wide area, cutting inside than he could ever do from a central position IMO.

A good manager would make Sissoko at a CM work. His skill set is not too disimilar to Keiran Dyer's and Sir Bobby (a proper manager) made that prosper, albeit next to Speedo a class DM. Good managers get Aaron Hughes looking a decent right back in the top half of the prem, or win champions leagues with Jerzy Dudek. They win the league with help from John O'Shea and Wes Brown.

 

Both  Sissoko and Wijnaldum would be highly effective CMs under decent managers (although not next to each other in a two). They should both start CM in a 433 with a decent DM between them - that should be our recruitment aim along with a solid scrappy stocky stab his own mum for the last Yorkshire pudding type CB.

Completely agree, no reason they can't play CM. Wijnaldum in particular is basically playing there now, he just defends on the left.

Find it hard to disagree with any of that.
