NUFC Transfer Rumours

[Kid Icarus]

All 3 players being mentioned would be fine by me. Probably a slight preference for Tierney.

[nemtizz]

Cucarella seems like a non-starter unless he's taking a pay cut.

[Ghandis Flip-Flop]

I think Hall would be ideal if we could get it done, the lad looks to be quality already and still has room to grow with the team. But I can’t see Chelsea letting him go and certainly not at that price.

That and Chelsea wanting a huge loan fee. Wouldn’t be surprised if they want £10m for that alone!

[Kimbo]

I’m not taking the Cucurella talk seriously at all.

How much would you expect? Personally think that £30m is on the low side, but he’s 18, with 12 senior games under his belt and although he has a few years left to go on his current contract, it seems like he might not sign a new deal.

Lewis Hall and that would top off a pretty fantastic transfer window. 

[Big River]

Hall seems like a Howe type player/signing. might as well get him out of Chelsea and save his career. he’ll have him starting for England within a year or two!

[Pilko]

Couldn't understand the money spent on Cucarella when he left Brighton and I've not seen him have a good game since, always seems to make mistakes. Hope we avoid despite Eddie's ability to turn water into wine.

 

Tierney or Hall I'd be pleased with - very different in terms of experience vs potential but trust the decision either way. 

 

Get one in and it's been a superb window, just need to clear off the bomb squad before it shuts any which way we can.

I honestly have no idea any more, I mean Bayern have just paid over £100M for a guy with one year left, Likewise Caicedo going for that fee after a year of looking decent. Fee's are utterly nuts and Chelsea seem to manage to rinse everyone for their academy products ??‍♂️

[KaKa]

Just remembered Leicester have that young left back that looked very promising too, Luke Thomas, wonder if he's been considered as well.

[toontownman]

Hall is the way to go if we can get him. Would love that. 

 

Really any of the 3 would be fine. Cucurella was immense at Brighton. I found a bunch of stats a few weeks ago when we were linked that put him something like the best LB in the league stats wise. I totally trust Howe to turn him around if he ended up here.

 

[Matt1892]

Chelsea also have Ian Maatsen who is potentially ahead of Lewis Hall too at left back.

Have they not been playing him wide Left in preseason?

I mean they have Malo, Cucurella and Chilwell so it’s not like they’re short at left back, and as others have said Maatsen can play there too

Malo Gusto is a RB.

Fair enough I had it in my head it was him that replaced Chilwell yesterday, guess I got mixed up with James

I’m not sure but he’s predominantly a left back.

Don’t underestimate or forget how great Burn was and is every time he plays CB.

 

He doesn't play over Botman or Schar though. Great option to have mind with our high press when teams are eventually forced to hoof it and there's him to head down to Bruno or Tonali.

He did quite well there, but was utterly dreadful against Spurs when they howked us 5-1, and switched off at the wrong moment down at Chelsea in the same season. A bit of a stretch to say he’s been great every time he’s played there. I’d be worried if we got an injury and he was starting every week in that position,

That goal was basically unstoppable, lovely first touch from Havertz.

So 1 bad game and maybe 2 moments ? (Had one at Everton too) Hardly a stretch though giving he was playing every minute of each game. 
 

Try not to worry. He’d be fine.

Not sure about unstoppable. It was a good ball, touch and finish, but he still switched off.
