r0cafella Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Just now, Rich said: I think given his level of ability it would be a very short term signing and we should be aiming higher. A straight loan would be passable but that’s about it imho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I know what you’re saying. I just think he’d plug the Shelvey hole/improve on Shelvey and leave us able to sign a marquee midfielder in the summer. Thought he was the best player on the pitch in the 1-1 with them up here and he did well in the cup, too. Big bastard, left-footed (don’t have that option in CM) and scores shitpingers (also lacking this in CM currently). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im hoping we get a DM with more mobility so hopefully in the summer we can get a more adventurous left back to give us a bit more balance going forward.

Rich Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Would Gravenberch do for you, then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Howe mentioned we are only signing players that are here for the long term, no signings for the sake of it. So I think even in terms of the loan market we are looking at, it will be players we view as long term improvements to the squad not stop gaps.

Learn that De Bruyne and Salah were “not good enough” for Chelsea. They have more money than sense and will always pursue the next shiny object even if they have better in their squad. Not necessarily a good rule of thumb. Anyway, in this case, yeah I would hope that we avoid both Cucarella and Chillwell. Chilwell is on something like 200k a week.

Lush Vlad Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Maybe not realistic. As I’m sure all the big boys will be in for him and the fee and wages might be too steep for us. But Rice would be unbelievable in our midfield. He was absolutely class tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big River Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 anyone else notice Jones and Tindall chatting it up with Rice after the whistle?

Because with massive inflated transfer fees comes hand in hand with expected inflated wages. NUFC won’t be signing anyone in the £70-100m bracket or anyone demanding way beyond £125kpw for another 16 month. As for Rice I was impressed with him today after previously not being that struck on him. He still has limitations to his game hence the rumoured fee being ridiculous but he had a lovely knack of predicting where the ball was heading and finding himself on it more times than not.

Geordie Ahmed Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Rice is quality but we are probably at least 18 months away from getting someone like him I don't mean in terms of ability as Bruno shows we can get such players but more the name, the fee and wages it will take Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We telegraphed soooo many passes today making him look way better than he actually is. I’m also the cunt that doesn’t think we need a DM at all so fuck my take.
