NUFC Transfer Rumours

[Pilko]

Feels so quiet I'm expecting the Chronicle to be readying the dreaded "It's Sho Time" or "Let's Get This Sho On The Road" back page that we were all so accustomed to many years ago.

Been a shite window all round. Not just for us.

Probably a sign of things to come unless PSR is changed.

[Miggys First Goal]

PSR will kill the game.

 

Teams need to sell to buy but teams can’t buy because they need to sell to clubs that can’t buy because they need to sell to clubs that can’t buy…

Why is the transfer window open after the season starts?

 

It just seems a bit daft as it causes disruption and I'm always dubious about the character of folk who come in after the season starts, like they didn't want to be here. micheal fucking owen being key amongst them.

 

Just my feeling though.

They changed it a few years ago to it closing as the season starts iirc and it didn’t work for some reason

and changed it back.

 

or I’ve made that up but I’m sure it happened

Who knows city’s case against the PL around sponsorship result could come out next week. Announce a major stadium/training ground sponsor on the Thursday then two big signings on the Friday. 
 

I can but hope

Makes sense, he’s currently fourth choice LB. Hopefully he can have a good 6 months and we get some money for him.

We’ve offered £60m for Olise & £65m for Guehi there is some money there & Douglas reckons there will be £20m-£30m left over and that’s with no outgoings so there is money there

 

1. We do have money to spend, around 6-70m. We have spent some on Osula already.

 

2. If we do have extras, we should have heard some news or rumours re RW already. None. 
 

3. We won’t have outgoings. We have been trying our best to move players before June and we failed. Why would you think we can suddenly do it now? Just like the Almiron deal, we have to accept close to nothing price if we want to move them. Probably just wages saving, like the Targett loan.

Bailey is a bit of a bullshit merchant but if we let him go on loan we have to include an obligation to buy. He’s surplus to requirements at this stage.

Deals ‘often’ happen late in the window, you can’t rule anything out at this stage.

1. going by what mark douglas has said today if we spend £65-£70m on Guehi we have about £20m to £30m left which tbh im surprised at 

 

2. we’ve been linked with Torres yesterday and Madueke just the other day. The Guehi stuff is only public because palace leaked it. If they hadn’t you’d be saying the same thing about CH that you just said about RW. No news or rumours doesn’t mean there’s nothing going on 

3. deals always go late in the window. Seems this window is particularly slow and I think we’ll see a load of deals across the league in the final week. 
 

i predict up to 6 players will leave. Targett on loan, Fraser and one of Trippier or Almiron (hopefully Almiron) the fact the club were talking to Charlotte means they are willing to let him go. Also either Dubravka will be sold or the Greek guy will be loaned out. We won’t have 5 keepers in the squad. Hayden & Lewis will be loaned out also

If we do have 30m left after the Guehi deal, I would be very surprised we didn’t go for Gruda. Hope we have better target then.

He was never an option. It was a load of bollocks made up by someone to trick that will itk account. We probably didn’t even look at him

exactly, 25m pounds is very affordable, we should have gone for him, but we didn’t. Hence why I think we don’t have that 2-30m extra I.E. Douglas is bullshiting. Happy to be proven wrong.

Wait  because we didn’t go for a random player out of 100s of players you put that down to us not having any money. I’d say it’s more likely the scouts, Howe & Mitchell either didn’t want him or have better targets than it is to do with finances

exactly what I said mate, hope there is better targets. But then as I said mathematically it doesn’t make sense we have 100m budget this season given our PSR status. Anyway.

I get the point but it’s so random coming to that conclusion solely based on us not going for Gruda who btw hasn’t even been credibly linked to a move here. Who’s to say we aren’t currently locked in discussions with Chelsea about Madueke for example?

 

I didn’t read the article but Douglas appears to be going off figures from Kevin Maguire he’ll know better than me and you but even he won’t have a full idea of what we’ve to spend

Given the poor performance on Saturday and zero transfers, if we have a stinker against Bournemouth with no further sign of transfers (in OR out) I fear there will be a meltdown of Fukushima proportions on here and other areas online.

I feel like we are being very gunshy, looking for the ‘perfect’ transfer. Which is understandable given the FFP / PSR restrictions.

 

At some point though, we are going to have to take a risk.

Spot on. No RW is especially puzzling to me because we could literally bring in anyone north of 25m+ fair market value and instantly upgrade the position.

 

Still time to move, but you do get the sense we've been looking for the "home run" transfer, while other clubs have been making incremental improvements.
