NUFC Transfer Rumours

[Haz]

Morning chaps (and any Gels) Can you tell me which sources you take notice of? I know they're not gospel but which ones make you go Hmmmm? Theres so bloody many, so which ones should I take no notice of? Truth is, for centuries Ive always come here for the knowledge and some confirmation. Your opinions count.

If true it's madness. No way we could reasonably carry all of new RW, Miggy and Murphy.

I guess it depends if the new right winger can also play as a striker, if so, then you would think we can afford to keep an additional winger in the squad

[The Butcher]

Should be a sackable offence to offer Miggy a new deal.

While I don't think he's the right long term option if the finances go low enough it would be worth a punt.

Hope for a lunge? That's a new one

I have a small follow up piece of information to this (sadly no name though). Apparently Howe has vetoed the sale of Miggy and wants the club to offer him a new contract instead. He wants the "new" RW to compete with Almiron rather than replace him 

That would be a good argument for a DoF having full control over buying and selling. Almiron is toast, take the highest bid you can get.

[Sibierski]

What can we realistically spend this summer? With deals structured in instalments?

 

CB - £45m

MGW - £45M

Young attacker - £15m

Miggy is still here until 26/27 isn’t he ? No way we offer him a new deal.

Probably not that much given that we already spent £30m on Hall. I can see the PSR scare resulting in more restricted spending as well.

 

I think a new striker depends on selling Wilson, if that doesn’t happen then no new striker. Then maybe max £60/70m combined for the RW and CB, but again I think we need Almiron out for this. I can see us doing another loan to buy next summer if we don’t get the sales we want.

I think Almiron's energy can be useful off the bench tbh, the priority is ensuring we aren't going into the season with him as first choice. Selling isn't as easy as it sounds if we can't get good money and he doesn't want to leave.

 

Admittedly a new contract is not really the answer. 

[gbandit]

New deal sounds a bit fanciful. Unless they’re just trying to get his name out there to drum up interest

This, imo. Almiron inexplicably was the only player to stay reliably fit, which is insane when you consider how much he moves. If his end product was consistent we'd be laughing.

Double that man, we'll just sell the lasses team to ourselves for £100 million 

[rebelrouser]

Howe wants to keep ASM. Eddie Howe wants to keep Callum Wilson. Eddie Howe wants to keep Elliot Anderson.

 

It makes sense that he would say these things. What if the sale falls through?

I think, or maybe more hope, that people will be pleasantly surprised with how much we have to spend. The PSR problems were because we had two £70m losses and therefore needed a profit for last year of £35m which we have made despite having a transfer outlay in total. Therefore, for this year we now have a loss of presumably around £35m in total for the two years in question and therefore can now make a £70m loss again for PSR. With our increased revenues that should see us being able to spend a decent amount with the potential for it to be topped up with some player sales. 

 

We of course have to keep in mind that amortisation costs for all our big signings are still going through the books, but I still reckon we will have north of £100m in total to spend.

Compete how? See if he can run into clear space then double back to try and get it on his left foot?

 

 

[Dr Venkman]

Oh great. Now whoever the new RW is, we won’t see them until February.

[timeEd32]

If the money works I'd be in full support of Miggy as a super sub. He could be very useful and I don't think he'd kick up a fuss.

 

But then surely we'd look to sell Murphy to a promoted or Championship team?

One of them has to be sold, we can't afford to keep around two right wingers on the bench if we want to make room for one who is CL standard.
