St1pe Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Aye, probably a slight over reaction there. I’m not convinced he’d improve us a great deal so £15m seems like a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I think a lot of us are still living in the past where we think a solid premier league defender should cost like 6/7m. Burn seems a solid option with the added bonus of being a local lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Surprised that anyone thinks Burn wouldn't be an immediate improvement. He's much better than Lascelles etc. 15m is what they want, therefore we could probably get him for 13 or so, which sounds good to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 We’ve definitely been conditioned by the Ashley era. £15m is probably the equivalent of £6-7m before he took over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbheed Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Aye, I dont think £15m is a lot for a prem proven defender playing in one of the better defences in the league. Clearly rated by the fans who actually watch him play every week. Not sure whats not to like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Getting a fee for Hendrick or Gayle in the final days will look like great business, provided we can sign 2/3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Alright, time for a pointless update that you could get at any reputable NUFC outlet before I start doing some actual work today: Goalkeeper Nothing doing right now, in public at least, but there have been links to Dean Henderson (Man Utd) and Bernd Leno (Arsenal). Seems like one we could move on if someone became available. Right-back Signed a world-class one in Kieran Trippier (Atletico), we're sound here. Centre-back On the right side, the Diego Carlos (Sevilla) saga appears to have ended and there's no solid bids emerging for anyone else, though James Tarkowski (Burnley) and Nat Phillips (Liverpool) have been mentioned almost daily in dispatches. Gleison Bremer (Torino) fits the bill in terms of being Brazilian and having a surname that ends in "B", but it's gone a bit quiet there, as with Nikola Milenkovic (Fiorentina) and Issa Diop (West Ham). It seems like Dan Burn (Brighton) is the "safe" (or "cheap") option on the left, after the saga for Sven Botman (Lille) ended and things went quiet on Benoit Badiashile (Monaco). Attila Szalai (Fenerbahce) has also been linked and is another left-footer. Left-back Unless they've kept someone under wraps, it appears to be between Mitchel Bakker (Leverkusen) and Rogerio (Sassuolo), if this one gets done at all. Matt Targett (Villa) also linked after Lucas Digne (Everton) chose Villa over us, the fucking weapon. Centre Midfield Bruno Guimaraes (Lyon) looks to be a goer and appears to be exactly what we need, while Yves Bissouma (Brighton) has consistently been linked with a £50M bid and was eliminated from the AFCON last nigh. Ibrahim Sangare (PSV) could come into contention for the same reason after some prior stories, along with Amadou Haidara (Leipzig) and Franck Kessie (Milan), though these last two would be very speculative. If we're lumping Jesse Lingard (Man Utd) and Dele Alli (Spurs) in here, then Lingard is apparently dead but could be resurrected at the death (he joined West Ham on the 29th last season) and Alli appears nothing more than a backup option. Aaron Ramsey (Juventus) is possibly another option here, but it's never been a really solid link. Wide Midfield Thomas Muller (Bayern) is the latest big name to be floated here, after Eden Hazard (Real Madrid) and Moussa Dembele (Barcelona) in recent weeks. It doesn't seem like we're targeting anyone here as a priority, but like GK it's probably a deal that would be done if a great option became available. All seems a bit unrealistic and daft at the moment, though. Striker Surely Chris Wood (Burnley) isn't it? Strong rumours on Duvan Zapata (Atalanta) in the past week but it hasn't ever seemed to go anywhere, while the link to Darwin Nunez (Benfica) refuses to go away and the fees being discussed are a bit mental. It does seem like we're actively looking here, but there haven't been any "new" names in the mix for well over a week now. Bamba Dieng (Marseille) has had more mentions, along with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Arsenal). I feel silly even mentioning Victor Osimhen (Napoli), tbh. I'm still hoping for LCB, RCB, LB, CM/DM, CM/AM, and ST before the deadline, but time is running very short to get all of those done. CB and CM/DM are absolutely pivotal, with another ST probably being third in the queue, for me. Howay the transfer team! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
