NUFC Transfer Rumours

[Toon88]

Must of passed everyone, the fact Bonucci is retiring in June 2024. Big announcement by all made about it a while back. Just a lazy journo story because we’ve got Tonali. Awful.
 

Got to be one of the worst links I’ve seen. Move on.

[STM]

Oh it's undoubtedly horseshit.

 

Bonucci as cover for a year before we go big on Schars replacement next year. I have no idea if he can even walk anymore, like.

We do lack experience, I would actually have liked to see Milner come back.

Yep same.

[TRon]

I think Milner is done at the top level personally. Midfield isn't an area of the pitch where you can carry players. Personally I would be disappointed if we had lost out to Szoboslai to Liverpool, then took the guy he was replacing in their team.

Would Bonucci for a year be bad? It could go Sol Campbell but he could also be like what Vieira and Lampard were for Man City by giving some CL experience for a year when we have little of it.

We are already complaining about squad places for Ritchie and Dummy, why on earth would we want Milner to add to this.

Milner is levels above those two though.

I think all of them don’t contribute much at this point tbh. Not sure where Milner would fit in to our midfield given the quality we have now too. 

[Mazzy]

Why has no one started a Bonnuci thread. Though people would be all over this on here. Very disappointed.

Aye. Been running full tilt for 20 years and the last 2 years it's really caught up. Would have been Geremi 2.0.

Teams never do all their deals early, it just doesn’t happen, but people say this every summer. Loads of time yet and they will be fine integrating with the team, just like they are every other season.

I mean.... Arsenal have done at least 80% of their incoming business already. They did the same last year.  Liverpool similar. 

 

Finishing CL was a surprise for us. And we have sticky FFP issues short and long-term. So it's understandable that our transfers take a little longer. But make no question about it; it's not intentional in a positive way.

Can’t get my head around buying Gordon for £40m, potentially selling ASM then to bringing in Harvey Barnes. Seems like a backwards step. 
 

Give ASM another season as Gordon as understudy. We have Joelinton that’s arguably been better than both of them in that LW position too then use the money on someone top quality to play RW.

I’ve retired

[Max Cherry]

Barnes for 35 million is an absolute steal, no idea why anyone would turn their nose up at that. Scores and assists, good age, experienced and proven. 

[elbee909]

Probably John Barnes. Again

[Conjo]

Lack experience? We've got one of the oldest squads in the league. If anything we should be getting more youth an potential in.

[Bizza]

I wouldn't want Bonnuci anywhere near club after the way he carried on after beating England in the Euro final. Complete and total helmet.

bet there are plenty of Mike Hunts around though to slot in the joke.

 

I went to school with one in Hexham, funnily enough him coming to school wanting to be called Mike and not Michael lasted all of one day ?

I'm currently on a quest to find out how much we can spend. Will post detailed results when I'm done.

[Matt1892]

We can probably get away with spending a lot this window but that will have a knock on in future windows, the issue for the club is that despite fans being told that the level of spending in recent windows is unsustainable some still expect it as the new normal.
 

There is also a resistance from some in selling players who have been here for a number of years who hold value to free us up for FFP.

 

You can’t have your cake and eat it every window. Something has to give.

 

Im confident we will sign another quality player or two that will improve the first team, unless we unload one of ASM, Almiron or Wilson and then we will possibly sign another on top.

Dont bother its already been done.

 

This season FFP Limits us to about £100m plus player sales 

[McCormick]

Nah. Let him. Wanna see if it’s consistent.

Was that from Mr Maguire? He's usually pretty good with that sort of thing.
