NUFC Transfer Rumours

We lack athleticism at the back and creativity going forward. We rely on the system to get us in good positions which is fine, but there's a distinct lack of quality in the final decision, pass or shot. 

 

The lack of pace and athleticism stops us from being truly able to push up the pitch and pin teams back too. Too many times recently we're caught in two minds and make it easy for the opposition to counter us.

 

CB, DM and RW pls.

Did they not say the target was CL on the Amazon thing? I only watched a bit of the first episode 

They acknowledged potential difficulties and the possible drop off that may occur 

 

It’s been relentless - feel totally worn out - emotionally drained - just imagine how the players must be feeling

Fair enough, I didn’t watch it just remember the clip

Yeah was a brief note made by Ashworth to the board when they were having a zoom conference

I’d look at Clarke from the Mackems, good player 

[Ronson333]

We’re heavily linked to Goncalo Inacio according to some Portuguese paper.

[Deuce]

I still want Hincapie

RIP handsome CB pairing.

Isn’t he a left sided CB ?

I thought he was right sided but could be wrong. So the paper is called Record and they are looking for £52m.

Based on today we need at least 15 in during this window. 

Show some respect like, most of the players have played very well for two years or the period they’ve been here since Howe came in. Yes, it was very poor today and it’s been poor for several games but players don’t turn to shit in the space of 4-6 weeks. Also, they’ve mostly been run into the ground or are recovering from injury

You have to be careful mentioning his name around here tbf

[Deuce]

Let’s be honest, Maxi would’ve had his leg snapped clean in two had he been a part of this cursed squad.

[Whitley mag]

Feels like a big transfer window all of a sudden with season unraveling quickly. I think they’ll back EH all they can, but just hope we don’t try some short term quick fix like Phillips.

 

After watching last few games it’s hard to know where to prioritise at the minute, be interesting to see how they approach it with so many upgrades now seemingly required.

Would have taken a remote controlled traffic cone with wheels a few weeks ago for CM.

 

Quite like the idea of Neves on loan, but that seems to have cooled. LB seems a priority as the moment, so can at least rotate Tripper and Livra for RB.

 

[huss9]

we cant afford to buy stop-gaps.

need quality or nowt.

No way will we sign a LB with Burn, Tino, Hall, Targett and Livramento on the books.

 

Priority positions are: CM, RW, Striker, CB and keeper. Need to resolve at least a couple of them if we’re to have a chance of top 7 finish.

[NSG]

Mind you, if we’re looking at Saudi based players then I’d be all over Gabri Veiga.

[Ronson333]

We probably need to sell a CM if we are to get one in. At the moment, we have Bruno, Willock, Longstaff, Joelinton, Anderson, Miley and Tonali on our books. That’s seven for three positions. If we had to sell one who would it be? Carrying eight centre mids is a lot.

Out of those Longstaff is the one I'd sell

 

 

[Whitley mag]

Think GK is now a major issue but to be honest I think a wide forward might have the biggest impact, if we could bring somebody top drawer in on the right that might be the route I’d go if funds limited us to one signing.

We're not selling Longstaff anytime soon. Until the academy really starts producing consistently we will need Longstaff around for homegrown rule reasons in European competitions.

Given Tonali isn’t likely to have suitors at present, it would be Joelinton - if only for the fact that he’d be likely to bring in the most money, and he’s free of amortisation at this point.  Longstaff, Miles and Anderson are HG, you don’t want to be shifting those players. 

 

NB I don’t want us to sell Joelinton at the moment.   Just answering the hypothetical.

Wasn't today and the mackems around me were saying he should be dropped
