Don’t think Leeds are actually after Sarr was just paper talk. Also heard someone say Watford might keep him as they will get more being promoted than from selling him.

Abacus Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I was hoping to watch Lorient vs Lyon on BT, in order to professionally scout a little known player called Paqueta. Match postponed, though, due to an 'unplayable pitch'. Sounds fishy to me. I can only conclude that we have bids in for all of the players from both teams. You heard it here first, Fabrizio.

Kimbo Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I don’t think we have put a bid in for Paqueta, Lyon or his agent would have leaked it to try and start a bidding war. If we haven’t put a bid in by this point then how serious can the interest be? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burn and Wood were bought with the aim of keeping the club up that season and as players who would do well in The Championship if the worst happened, rather than as long term buys. It's a new keeper, a new back four, a midfielder and a striker. The club will want at least one more forward and midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the NUFC youtubers is now claiming the price for Paqueta is a lot higher than the supposed £30m+ being bandied about anyway, according to his sources. He might be talking crap of course, but that always seemed a suspiciously low figure anyway. I can't see that deal happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Aside from the glaring need for quality at RW, we're desperate for a little more strength in depth. We're still too reliant on key individuals being available/having a good game to help us push forward. We're seeing progress with every game, but christ we need options coming off the bench.

ponsaelius Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 If we don't get two attacking signings of quality in before close of the window it's been a failure of a window IMO - despite all the progress as a club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinotheprehistoricgeordie Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 It feels like the club are refusing to budge when being asked for crazy fees in an attempt to set expectations for future windows. If we don't go crazy with the budget now we might get quoted less crazy prices in the future as we're moving away from the expectation that we will behave like man city, psg, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they sell him towards the end of the window for £35-40m I don't think that's a good deal for seller or buyer. They’ve played him in the last two games as their central forward, because they’ve no other option presumably. That’s the only thing that makes me think they’d sell, ie they need to buy a centre forward. And soon. Still can’t see it mind, he’s Everton through and through and Lampard recently gave the fans assurances that he was not for sale. I think he would be a great acquisition, though would rank this buy behind signing Gallagher. And both behind signing a right sided forward come centre forward.

We've got a good team, a good manager and the Europa door is wide open so - whilst I'm on board with 'evolution not revolution' - we should strike while the iron is hot. Thankfully they clearly know this and have the competence to make it happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t get this argument in regards to any player we buy or money we spend if the management team decide to go all in / or decide to sign a player (whatever the fee) I don’t see it as wasted money , its money spent on a player the club think will improve us , and probably a player that they think will get is where we want to be I trust our director of football / scouts / manager etc…. more than I trust random fans. All signings at all clubs (no matter what the fee) have the potential to flop or be a huge success. Transfer fees can sometimes be irrelevant, in terms of how things pan out. We could sign Gordon for 20 million and he proves to be the worst signing ever ..,.could just as easily pay 40 million and prove to be an absolute steal (and vice versa) Just leave it in the hands of the new management set up as they work with the players and know who we need.

Mansour Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Does Michael Olise have a clause or was it refuted? Would love to see him here. I think we are going to end up with a midfielder and centre forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
