Guest Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 What is the thing with this Correa lad. Is he not a starter for Atletico? Not seen him much, but if i have a chance to play regularly for Atletico why the hell would he go to Nufc? He is young and fairly highly rated. The price would be to high for us either way i guess. He's competing with Carrasco, Griezmann, Gaitan, Gameiro, probably Costa in January. He might have to take a step down to move up if he wants regular football and even us on the sort of wages we pay is more than 15-16 La Liga clubs could afford.

McCormick Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Re: Correa- Unfortunately he'll probably also cost around 30 million. Loan deal may be feasible though... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 If he's around £30m then there should be no reason we can't do a similar deal to Merino for next summer with the full season's TV cash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Ploy by the betting companies. They know that is never ever happening, but by cutting the odds from 25/1 to 4/1 it'll make some idiots believe there must be a reason for it, so start lumping on it. Not that I've ever been guilty of doing such a thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 https://mobile.twitter.com/ToonTransfer/status/893014936196087813 They must expect someone to match their valuation this window if that's the case. If we were paying 100% of his wages I can't see why they'd reject, it's not like they desperately need the money upfront. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sho Time Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I know he's largely unproven but I think he'd be a good addition for £13m. Whenever he played he done well last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 To a certain extent our opinion on him isn't really important. If Rafa wants him and he's missed out, that can only be a negative at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

O Neill Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Very good article which I feel sums up a situation I've been expecting for a few seasons. Finally we are approaching that transfer market stand-off where wages at clubs have gotten so silly that clubs can't get rid of the deadwood because the players are refusing to take pay cuts in order to play football. If I was a Riviere or a Haidara and getting silly money here then I can't say I would be keen to abandon that to go elsewhere. Certainly not given the form and fitness record of those two. They may as well run down their contracts, take their money and then take their chances of someone picking them up on the free when their contract expires. We aren't the only club in this situation though. Majority of the lower half of the Premier League are in the same boat and nobody is rushing out to splash the money to strengthen their squad. It has a knock-on effect up the league as well with the bigger clubs unable to shift players they don't want simply because the other clubs can't afford them. In previous years someone would always gamble on players leaving Arsenal, Man Um Chelsea etc but there is going to come a time, and it may be this season, where clubs simply won't be able to because they can't shift their own deadwood to make room for them.
