NUFC Transfer Rumours

[Stifler]

Nah, I’m tired of us when we start getting good, ruining it by buying the top 6’s cast offs. We should be avoiding buying anyone from those clubs, unless they had actual potential.

You don't think a 24 year old Brazilian international playing at an absolute shit show of a club under that bald fraud has any potential? Howeh...

EtH and Anthony have worked really well together before Man Utd.

 

They are both just not good enough for the this league.

It's all on ETH iyam. We've seen how easy it is to win the Eredivisie (hello Schteve McClaren) with an utterly shite manager, the PL needs more from a manager other than "Let's pley". Antony just needs an arm round the shoulder and some good tactical direction in an environment that's not one of the biggest pressure cookers in professional football.

[Ghandis Flip-Flop]

Is Antony suddenly going to gain several extra yards of pace after Eddie's coaching like? There are reason's Antony isn’t suited to this league above and beyond ETH's system

All players we sign gain several yards of pace, this is well established N-O lore.

[GEFAFWISP]

Would rather stay clear of domestic abusing scum irrespective of any talent (he's shite anyway).

I’d be shocked if we replaced one of the most one footed players in the league with a player who is even more one footed.

 

We wanted Olise TBF.

Maybe that’s the plan, fuse Anthony and Miggy together to make an actual two footed footballer

 

[Crimson Cardigan]

Anthony has been abysmal in the PL with a terrible attitude and questionable moral character to boot. If he’s the only option keep the money and wait.

[Kimbo]

It would be an honour to be fucked around and embarrassed by another premier league club.

[gdm]

Came on it see what people were discussing now the window has closed.

 

Antony.

 

see you in January 

[Joelinton7]

Yeah ‘cause us signing Antony is deffo gonna’ happen and TeamTalk are the bastions of truth within the football journalism industry.

Going back to him being one footed. It's a serious flaw that will be a lot more apparent when you play in the Prem, because here every margin matters. It makes him a lot easier to defend against, as long as he is not at a different level than the opponent like in Eredivisie. Robben was able to succeed because he was extremely fast and just amazingly good in other parts of his game. How many of the top 20 attackers in the prem right now are one footed to a high degree? 0?

One thing you absolutely cannot do with a player that favours a particular foot, is not have any full back support on the outside.

 

They often paired him with Wan Bissaka who did not overlap and isn't great in forward areas. Was very easy to just double up on Antony.

 

At Ajax his full back over lapped and the central midfielders on his side under lapped too, which opened up a lot more for him, and created space.

 

Ten Hag is so bad it's untrue.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I think most players in the PL favour one foot to an extent you wouldn’t really expect for the best few hundred footballers in the world. 
 

I still think wingers playing on the wrong side just annoys the fans.

Maybe, but there are many levels to this. There's a long way from favouring one foot to being "one footed".

It's true that it's hard to judge Anthony based on his time at Man Utd. Likewise it's also hard to judge whether he can perform in the Prem based on his time at Ajax. MLS is ofcourse not on the same level as Eredivisie, but Almiron looked like CR7 over there. I think he would look like a completely different player in Eredivisie aswell, if he went there. Besides, wouldn't Anthonys wage demand be pretty high? Man Utd often give players like him pretty high wages.

I'm not by any means saying we should sign him. I just said if we did I wouldn't panic about it.

 

We were linked with him when he was at Ajax and so would imagine we'd have information based on his time there and what he did in the Champions League also.

 

Ajax setup afforded him a lot more space and passing options to allow him to dribble, score and create.

 

Miggy's biggest problem with us IMO, is that he isn't a right winger. He played behind the striker and on the left in the MLS. 

 

On the left he is far more confident using his pace to push the ball down the line on his strong side. We saw this under Rafa who used him on the left and Ayoze on the right.

 

On the right side Miggy doesn't really dribble at all, because he can't go down the line with his pace. There's no real trickery to his take on ability.

Good points. Almiron still does it, but instead of putting a cross in he has to turn around and go back again.

There’s surely going to be a lot of desire to get some business done in January to try to make up for the shitshow this summer. Will be a very interesting window in January. The line “it’s a difficult window to buy in” isn’t going to cut it

Unless he signs a new contract, I’m sure we’ll be back in for Guehi in January. 
 

Potentially be some competition by then, but if not, it’ll definitely be a test of Parish’s ego. Refuse to accept much less than what you wanted in the summer, or hold out and probably get substantially less next summer?

 

Obviously Palace’s league position (good or bad) could influence things as well like.
