Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 (edited) If you were looking for a potential Schar replacement for the future, going off that he fits the bill perfectly, looks the perfect partner for Botman.

Hanshithispantz Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Dubravka is a really solid shot-stopper and Lascelles is a prime age no-nonsense centre back with plenty of Premier League experience, he seems great to have in the dressing room as well. They seem perfect for a promoted side but they can probably get better value (at least on paper) elsewhere. Forrest showed what you can buy for similar fees.

RS Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 I know it shouldn’t but there’s a creeping element of frustration for me around this window. Need to keep reminding myself this is the new nufc and trust the new management team to do be doing things right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 There there must be a couple Saudi clubs in need of a keeper and another in need of an angry little Scotsman? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Premier League clubs are not stupid like they used to be. The likes of Brentford and Bournemouth etc might be small clubs but they're ran by serious people, data driven, solid sporting and business models. The days of clubs having no scouting network to speak of and just buying solid aging pros on big salaries to stay up is gone. I just can't see any market for Lascelles in this game. I like him and he's been a good pro for NUFC but he is not a modern PL defender and is a depreciating asset. A comparable player is maybe Conor Coady who Wolves managed to get £7 million for at the same age. But he's a better player, played multiple times for England, played far more football in recent years. And he's been signed by a Championship club looking to recruit for a specific promotion niche. Clubs will still see some value in an experienced solid defender in a dressing room, like Brentford picking up somebody like Ben Mee. But he was a free transfer.

I know Gillespie’s is playing the system for the home grown rule but we can’t use up squad places with 4 keepers or is that normal? Do other PL clubs have 4 keepers?

McCormick Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 If we’re selling Maxi, it’s possible Ffp-wise. Whether he’s willing to come here is a different matter altogether. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cristov Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 What's the possibility of our out of favour players leaving on loan to Saudi at the end of the window to negate the wages from the accounts. If we cant get a fee the least we can do is remove the wages. What's the deal regarding transfer windows in Saudi? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if there is no/minimal gain to us but gives players game time.
