NUFC Transfer Rumours

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Parish is going to look an idiot whenever Guehi moves, unless people believe he singlehandedly kept Palace in the league I guess. 

[Nobody]

We won't be as desperate for Guehi in January with Botman (and Lascelles) coming back then. Obviously we will still need the long term Schär replacement that Guehi would have been, but we should be able to wait until the summer if they are trying to take the piss.

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 

 

They should be doing ground work now, line up a couple young squad players, knowing we've done something and take the pressure off. 

 

Every day that goes by in Jan the pressure increases, as does our desperation and the asking price of our targets.

Can't see Botman and Lascelles being much use let alone starting till at least the Spring. It takes a long, long time to recover from ACLs, and the history of this injury type suggests these two players will only back up to scratch come the 25/26 season.

Apparently Norwegian media claiming were after Sindre Walle Egeli

According to HITC you mean, there's nothing about that in the Norwegian media at all.

I can’t wait to hammer him for cutting inside too much.

He reminds me so much of Vernon Anita in stature. Good player though.

This would be an exceptional signing, finally a second player that can play the 6, him a Bruno as a double pivot would be class and both can play the 8. IMO it would leave is with 5 top midfielders, 2 of which are champions league level, with the other 3 not really too far off that. 

[McCormick]

I like him but we’re likely not signing another first-team cm unless we sell one.

Am I alone in having never heard of Angel Gomes before seeing him turn out for the England national team the other day? I was like who the fook is this guy?
 

its frightening how out of touch I am with football these days when it doesn’t involve NUFC.

I mean I can't blame you. The French league isn't exciting to watch at all since PSG killed it dead.

He would have played in same side as Botman, I think? Haven’t seen him other than recent England game and didn’t really see what others (who no doubt know better) were raving about. 
 

p.s. he did. Plus HBA and Cabella

I'd never heard of the bloke either, had to get my 12 year old to fill me in.

Nah I hadn’t heard of him either. Not playing video games anymore hurts your knowledge of obscure players too.

Angel Gomes made his name 5 years ago before leaving Man Utd. He was U21 / U23 regular starters back at that time. I won’t say he is obscure

I hate transfer windows. Much preferred the old days of being able to buy a player when you wanted.

 

Since there is a window though, I think it should end on the day the season starts, certainly before any cup matches are played 

 

-or-

 

They end it at the end of the exceedingly dull international break after only a couple of games. That way, the fans can be excited about the potential signings their clubs can make when there is nothing going on but boring England matches watching other team's players attempting to gel. 

 

I know we have England internationals now, but for a long spell it was just how can they shoehorn in manu, liverpool and chelsea's media darlings into the squad. 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Transfer window should really follow the end of the season rather than run up to the beginning of the next. I'd say ideally it finishes at least 2 weeks before the season starts.

The coverage of the French league has been excellent on BT Sport/Discovery for a good few years now.

 

So many players get talked about and hyped up from that league, and we get linked with so many that it's always intriguing to catch some of the games.

 

Lille have David and Zhegrova that we've been linked with the last few years. Fonseca was also managing there after not getting the gig with us.

 

Seen Gomes a fair bit because of wanting to see some of these lot. Think Fonseca was the one that started playing him deeper.

 

He's the kind of midfielder that I think a lot of English fans will think is quite basic or ordinary, but he is really good for build up play because he's always in really good positions to get the ball and he then moves it on to players in better positions to then build attacks.

Fully agree.. the windows are essentially hit and hope. You don’t really know what your squad needs until a little into the season, generally after the window has shut. Not sure why they introduced it. It’s certainly not to protect clubs as any player playing for a smaller club knowing a big move is on the horizon won’t be giving it 100% for fear of injury etc.

 

Plus the planning involved to try and arrange incomings and outgoings is generally too much work load for even clubs our size.

 

The whole system is absolute bullshit.
