If he was the only striker we signed then it would be imo. Hmmm, if he comes as a rotation option and we sign another it’s amazing. But that makes no sense as he’s leaving Arsenal as he wants to play and we would have him, Wilson another striker and wood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Is the craic with Nketiah that Arsenal want to keep him but he's not signing a contract cos he wants first-team football? He wouldn't get that here so doesn't seem like a likely one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Edwards is probably just pushing it because he said it was a done deal back in January and he's trying to save face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Just now, The Prophet said: Edwards is probably just pushing it because he said it was a done deal back in January and he's trying to save face. Like his 50 million budget (January and this Summer). The one reporter I don't pay any attention to at all when it comes to NUFC exclusives. The fact he's an absolute cunt to boot also, makes it even easier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are relying on him and Wilson all season then it would be a concern imo. We already know Wilson won’t stay fit, I would be concerned if we where relying on Nketiah.

Howe seems to like a more physical forward so going to EN doesn’t quite fit with that. Anyways, it’s silly season so enjoy the speculating, some of it will actual come true now we have owners who actually want us to do something.

Minhosa Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Whilst I wouldn't be averse to Nketiah, wouldn't be just become the new Dwight Gayle? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Happy to sign him if he’s 3rd choice in a 4 behind a new striker and Wilson, ahead of Wood. Can’t see him coming here on that basis though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Ziyech is class, don’t know much about him from a character perspective but technically he’s excellent. Don’t know if we could tempt him here but hopefully we’re exploring it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 At a loose end so thought Id put together my own little squad refresh... We currently have: Dubs, Darlow, Gillespie, Woodman Burn, Clark, Dummet, Fede, Kraft, Lascelles, Lewis, Manquillo, Ritchie, Schar, Targett, Tripps Almiron, Joelinton, Fraser, Bruno, Hayden, Longstaff, Shortstaff, Murphy, Shelvey, Willock, Billy Gayle, Maxi, Wilson, Wood Obviously this isnt the 25 man squad so this list needs trimming before we even get to that. So we get rid of (Sell/loan/release): Darlow, Woodman Clark, Ritchie, Lewis Hayden, Shortstaff, Billy Gayle, This removes 9 players and gives us a first team squad of 22: Dubs, Gillespie, Burn, Dummet, Fede, Kraft, Lascelles, Manquillo, Schar, Targett, Tripps Almiron, Joelinton, Fraser, Bruno, Longstaff, Murphy, Shelvey, Willock, Maxi, Wilson, Wood From this squad of 22, who do we bring in and who do we replace: GK: Dubs, Gillespie, *new 2nd choice keeper* LB: Targett, *new left back*, CB: Burn, Schar, Lascelles, *Fede replaced with new centre back*, Dummet, RB: Kraft, Manquillo, Tripps, LW: Maxi, CM: Joelinton, Bruno, Longstaff, *Shelvey replaced with new centre midfielder*, Willock, RW: Almiron, *Murphy replaced with new right winger*, Fraser, FW: Wilson, Wood, *new striker* Thats got to be over £100M spent just there. And looking at the players in their positions, it looks slightly unbalanced at full back and LW, RW positions. As its gonna take a couple of windows to fine tune the squad balance, we hang on to Lascelles, Manq, and Almiron at least for the season ahead.

Forest going up creates potential moves for Lascelles and Darlow / Woodman. Cooper had Woodman at Swansea and the other two are obviously ex-Scabs who would have bring much needed PL experience to the squad. Who could resist the chance to link up with the Ginger Pirlo again?

Well we are supposedly chasing Ekiteke, he looks about as physical as a bag of candy floss. I like Nketiah, he seems to have a real striker's instinct, but whether he's proven at this level is the only question mark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
