NUFC Transfer Rumours

[Theregulars]

It was widely reported that Mitchell tried to finger Howe’s lass. I’m too lazy to look it up but my memory never fails. It’s also fact - I have no evidence or source but I’ll state it boldly nonetheless - that Eddie Howe has said if you don’t give me Marc Guehi then I’m resigning and you can get to shit. Totes facts.

“I’ll go forward with this squad with pride”. This is the language of anarchy and boardroom level rebellion, you’re all right

Might be worth looking up Louise Taylor and in particular who she happens to support, before taking her "speculation" as gospel

I'm not sure how anyone could grab hold of a theory and just run with it as fact because I could sit here and come up with a bunch of different ones in a matter of minutes:

• We don't have a lot of money to spend without outgoings
• We expected it to be much easier to shift a few players but the transfer window is dead, especially for the type of player we're trying to sell
• We think CB is the #1 most important position to fill and we're at an impasse / waiting for Parish to fold
• The Guehi deal hinges on an outgoing for us and/or an incoming for them and we're confident of that happening
• In the past we may have already thrown in the extra £5m or whatever to clinch the Guehi deal, but Mitchell/Eales don't want a repeat of June so we're being stingier (maybe this is a "schism")
• We have some money to spend and a few different paths in progress; possibly some debate (healthy or otherwise) on the right priorities (see: "schism")
• There's actually a ton happening and many irons in the fire, but it just doesn't seem that way because Guehi (thanks to Palace) is the only thing we've really heard about
• We're waiting for some dominoes to fall to kickstart things, led by Chelsea and Barcelona's shenanigans

That's before getting into the more negative or conspiratorial ideas (I was going to make up some ridiculous things, but all you need to do is scroll up to get an idea).

I just helped on investigating the disappearance of the James Bond DB5. You wouldn’t believe how ridiculous some of the theories people came up with are.

It seems the board are considering setting up Howe for failure so they can bring in a new manager for the next phase of the project… also someone (with a continental team) that can work with young foreign talent with potential.

ASHLEY IN!

no doubt it's pure bedlam behind the scenes. the middling ambition of the late shepherd years coupled with the incompetency of the ashley era. we are certainly in the last days of Howe, one way or another.

We're so close to PSR limits because we've literally pushed as far as we can without breaking limits or selling star players. Commercially we're back ahead of "the pack" but obviously still way off the Sky 6.  We're 3 years in and we're competing with clubs who've been building their infrastructures and contacts for 20-30 years, we stood still for 14 of those. 

 

We're still pushing for a player that would be a club record transfer if we get it. Opinions on if he's worth it, if that's best use of £60m plus are natural but there's been some fucking drivel on here.

[Shadow Puppets]

I know some of the chatter in this thread is tongue in cheek, but my god some of it is absolutely ridiculous and not based in any form of reality.

 

Why are some of you so eager to essentially craft a destabilising narrative, imagining huge rifts between players and managers and the board. Do you not remember what THAT version of NUFC was like, years ago?

 

The transfer window has been frustrating, I get that, but there’s also some massively overblown / pathetic opinions on some of our own players. Murphy, Miggy, Burn, Krath etc might not be world beaters, but they’ve all played a significant part in helping to turn this club around. I have no issue whatsoever with any of them remaining squad players.

 

There is zero evidence of anything “wrong” behind the scenes between Howe and Mitchell (as I said yesterday, everything certainly seems to be pulling in the same direction behind the scenes).

 

We all want a couple of shiny new players, I get that, but we have to remember that we have a very talented squad of players here already, one which can only be stronger than last season (without the injuries and with Tonali returning). One or two good players would be welcome, of course.

 

I genuinely think some people just love to be miserable and find issue where there isn’t necessarily one. It must be exhausting to have that mindset.

 

Anyway, I still think this whole debate will be irrelevant in 4 days time anyway, because I believe we’ll make at least one significant signing, but my god this place can be depressing.

Says in the article itself Howe sought reassurances on his primary transfer target... Do we still think the two met to talk about their FPL teams?

I agree there are a lot of really good things, both now and last few years, that has been really good. But it still doesnt make the club free from criticism. I, and it feels other too, just feel that we have lost our way and there are so many teams there about that the start of this season is not looking good.

 

You can be pleased with everything that has happend. But it feels that something is off and the club it self doesnt really know what they want, or there are different groups that want different things. Someone will have to give. I dont Howe start the PL season next year.

Only had a squad of 12 and one of those betrayed him.

No, you’re onto something for sure. Investigative journalists in the family?

Judas was probably a purple as well but just couldn’t be trusted to do his job properly, like a latter day Ben Arfa

It's staggering like. There's more moaning and complaints the last 2 months than I can remember at any point under Ashley. Wish it was easy just to walk away from here but it's hard to break a 20 year habit. It's becoming toxic for hardly any reason. Would love to be one of those who just rocks up at SJP evert game and switch off between games like the happy clappers did under Ashley. 

The ones doing the most moaning now are the same ones that sat on their hands for 10 years while the rest of us sacked Ashley off..

Yeh there’s criticism and discussion and then there’s a Gerard Way circlejerk of tears brought on by lack of new things bought this week. This isn’t supporting a club, it’s legitimately detrimental to those trying to do so.
