NUFC transfer rumours in the press

[Guest ElCid]

Same old same old offer a fee in the hope that it will be accepted and then wait the whole window for the hope that the other clubs get edgy fingers and always ends up with nothing happening. Other possible targets are then not sought and we end up with the usual 'we tried' statement. Tottenham or West Brom are not going to budge - they have history of it. If these are the players they want then they should be going and getting them or calling it quits and going after other names. Spending an extra few unwanted million to get players who have been selected (opinions on here are varied but seemingly these are the clubs top two choices) is nothing compared to the possibility of losing up to 100 million if the team goes down.

Charlie Austin on 5 mins and scores against Man U.

Nah 87 mins.

Would try and get two forwards if possible with one of them Remy if he'd come.

I have no faith they'll do the right thing. Bare minimum cunts.

[Tsunami]

We fail to score again, have a CF who doesn't look like he's a finisher and Charlie Austin scores the winner at Old Trafford minutes after coming on.

 

You'd hope Mike would get the message. We need a goal scorer and especially in away games where you don't expect to dominate chances need to be buried by your CF. There's a reason why Gini hasn't scored away from home and there's a reason why we've only scored 5 (is that right) away all season. We don't have a goal scorer.

Me too. Penny wise, pound foolish as they say.

dunno why people still talk about Austin like a missed opportunity. Last summer yea, but he wasnt going to move to team in a relegation battle

Nar, we've scored 6 away from home now. Get in!

 

Nee need for a striker.

It's pretty well known he wouldnt move north as well

[Gallowgate Toon]

He shouldn't be saying that, like, even if he's not wrong.

[Bimpy474]

 

Or Flores you useless tit.

[Dave]

He shouldn't be saying that, like, even if he's not wrong.

 

It's at least the second team he's said it about after a defeat.

 

Spineless prick might want to have a word with his 'fellow directors'.

[TRon]

He's right but he's made a rod for his own back by dropping the striker who actually scored last week.

Aarons needs to go out on loan like. Looked way off today which was natural given how little he's played.

The most stupid part about it is that if selling clubs have any sense whatsoever, the prices just went up again. We're fucking desperate.

[Bimpy474]

Afobe £10m and Austin £4m, we're clearly needing a finisher and didn't go for either. Usually we say English are too expensive.

 

we're idiotic

[thenige]

Shame Austin reportedly never really wanted to move North or else you'd have a bit more of a point.

[DJ_NUFC]

Nobody is saying Austin would have come, we are saying that even a fucking real bid for a proven striker would have shown their acknowledgment of the serious issue we have of lack of goals.

[Ganninup]

How do you know what austin wanted? I do know we didnt bid for him in the summer or this window. Perhaps because hes not represented by mondial.

[Varadi]

If we had paid the asking price, offered him decent wages and the number 9 I'm pretty sure we could've signed Austin in the summer.

 

That 15 million will look like peanuts if we go down.

[Bimpy474]

It's more the fact we didn't even try for two goalscorers who are English, obviously Afobe would have been more of a risk than Austin but would he have been anymore of a risk than Mitrovic ?
