NUFC Transfer Rumours

There's alot of players who I just don't count as serviceable players, the likes of Dummett and Ritchie who will only play in the event of an emergency... with that in mind... (Let's assume Darlow and ASM gone).

 

 

On the other hand, defence sticks out like a sore thumb. Two injuries and we go from one of the best defences in the league, to something more akin to a bottom half side. It does seem strange that we have targeted Livramento, who plays on the right when left seems to be less stocked. Perhaps his flexibility and Trippiers ability to play on the left is a factor.

 

It actually wouldn't surprise me at all if we target another left footed centre back. That frees up Burn and offers us depth.

 

 


What does "Frees up Burn" mean in this case? He will most likely be second choice left back and second choice LCB. And there is even Dummett for that slot as a total last choice. No need for that at all imo. If Lascelles stays, we may survive without RCB, but it is a risk. Manquillo most likely is off, so we need backup right back for sure. That is why Livramento is obvious target. Club most likely thinks he is good enough to take the place when Trippier goes. We have two decent left backs and if you count Manquillo then certainly also Lewis as a LB? Most like both will be off I would guess.

I would like to think we need rb, rcb and a starting right winger, but I guess wingers are done with Barnes. Defensive midfielder would be nice, but seems like Eddie will play Bruno as a sot of 6 anyway.

We will definitely have one more signing at the very least. No way we could survive this season without bringing in one more defender. Absolutely no way.


I agree. I think it’ll be at least one full signing of a defender and maybe one loan option. I also think we might bring in another winger/forward option for the right side.

That was Lee Ryder asking him to mark the transfer window out of ten. In July. :lol: Such a dope.

Did he not ask him for a list of ‘ten things we have learnt about this transfer window’?

My only ask for new signings, besides backup to Trippier, would be someone who can unlock a game with something special. Whether that is with a good pass, dribble, etc, doesnt matter. 

Also dont mind what position this is in. 

Someone that you hold you breath when they get the ball. Someone who gets you off your feet.

We had one but just sold him.

We had two former managers who used to hang all their hopes on “that bit of magic” and both of them were devoid of any managerial or tactical know how and were completely clueless.

 

Dont come out sounding like Pardew and Bruce, it isn’t a good look [emoji38]

I have said that I want a creative player with flair as well as decent pace. Personally I’ve never seen ASM as the solution for this. Especially against teams defending deep. I’m hopeful that they will get someone in for that right side. If not then I can see us dropping much more points than we would with one in, despite dominating the game overall. Think teams will be more aware and most importantly less naive when they play us. Especially the lesser teams.

The question is, do we have another Bruno/Isak/Tonali type signing left in us?

 

 

If by those names you mean £50M+ signings then I dont think so. I reckon we could only afford to get one more player in if we were to pay Isak money.

 

But I can see two more coming in at £25M/£30M each and then perhaps a loan with option to buy.

Think we really need another right sided forward player. Almiron/Murphy doesn't cut the mustard for a top 4 side with CL commitments. I think we need a new left back too. Id be happy if we got both. 


 

Sschh! We have enough wide options..

Because we are another Bruno injury from our season being torpedoed. 


Isn’t that what we bought Tonali for?

 

If it isn’t then we have to question the point of it.
