NUFC Transfer Rumours

[TRC]

Sometimes you need to sell while the stock is high too. We have missed the window on many players to sell while they were in demand in the past. Dyer and Jenas being the obvious ones.

Liverpool did it as well. Sold their star players like Suarez. The Coutinho money bought them Salah, Van Dijk and Alisson.

 

They only sold for absolutely crazy money mind. I think we'll sell as well if we receive those sort of offers, just not convinced we will. Teams are being a lot more cagey throwing money around now. Other than Chelsea.

[Memphis]

The thing is that if we were to sell Isak for crazy money, it would have to be done as part of a bigger plan and I would have to think that money would have already been pre-spent - that is, deals would have already have been arranged contingent upon us selling Isak. There's no use selling and then sitting there with a pile of money that everyone will be looking to fleece us out of. Ideally it would all be set up well in advance. 

 

That would require harmony and proper communication between the coaching staff and the sporting director, however. 

[The College Dropout]

Our problems are 2 fold. 
 

Liverpool can sell for crazy money and invest it all back in + FfP headspace. We can’t - some of that money goes to repay FFP deficit. 
 

And likewise clubs aren’t throwing the cash around like that anymore. 
 

IMO we need to reduce the wage bill and sell if a player wants to break it.  
 

Our wage bill is ever increasing. We’ve not sold anyone that would demand a significant wage rise. We’ve just eaten the costs.  A number of our players are on top 4-6 type wages. That must be 1 or 2.

We wont find a like for like striker for Isak, but we can have a more balanced team if we invest the money in a good way.

[RS]

Isak would score 20 goals past us in an arsenal team.

Yeah, not sure I have faith we will do that.

Not after the last transfer window, but the people in charge wont be here much longer if they come up with another farce.

Bought Salah first, didn’t they? But yeah, Alisson and VVD were pretty much the missing pieces that won them the league.

Be a load of shite. Would be an absolute disgraceful signing.

I’d rather sign no one tbh.

[Matt1892]

He’s played well in the last few games against us, but those performances have come down the left (I think he played some of the game this season through the middle when they made changes) and he isn’t of the quality we need for a starting player down the right.

If you can’t trust Kurt Leyland, who can you trust? 

[Danh1]

True story - I once played up front with him in the Newcastle Business League. 
 

Didn’t want him at NUFC then and don’t now. 
 

EDIT: MT this is not Kurt Leyland.

Marcus Tavernier doesn’t exactly scream excitement, does he. I don’t think he is that much better than Miggy or Murphy, if at all.

[loki679]

I vote we start a petition to have Kaka named NUFC head of recruitment. Never get linked with another mediocre yet expensive mid table premier league plodder again.

I think it’s a wind up i’m one of Howe’s biggest sceptics in the transfer market, but not even he would sink to that.

[Dr.Spaceman]

A left sided attacking player is the last thing we need right now, surely?

[Nucasol]

No more Bournemouth players please.

Would pay what Liverpool want for Kelleher, got the Georgian lad to come in so pretty sure they'll have to offload him unless Alisson leaves

You’d imagine Alisson will be off somewhere for a big payday. Had his injury troubles, too. So Liverpool might be keen to move him on because of that. 
 

Kelleher is clearly too good to continue as a number 2. But they just spent £30m or whatever it was on Marmaduke. So I’m assuming the plan is for him to be the starter. 
 

If Kelleher does leave as he wants to be number 1 somewhere. I think he’d cost a lot. What do people think in today’s market and due to his worth to Liverpool. £20-30m? More?! I think he’d have a few suitors. He looks absolutely quality.

Left footed and can play off the right, I think? 
 

Hardly the transformative right winger we need though  

[Andy84]

I’m raging at the club for a blatantly false link.  Sky have linked us to Semenyo for what’s it’s worth
