NUFC Transfer Rumours

[Menace]

These guys really churn out a semi decent second squad from absolutely nothing. I can't wait until we're at that level.

[TheInfiniteOdyssey]

McAtee would be a good signing at that price considering the number of games we’ll be playing next season. 

[HayDen Traces]

I'd prefer O'Reilly, he looks like a Joelinton physical monster in the making

[duo]

Chasing the next Cole Palmer

[black_n_white]

McAtee would be a nice signing. Very versatile as a few have already pointed out. Can see this going ahead tbh.

[nufc123]

Not sold on McAtee.

How many do you think we need ?

GK

CB

CM

RW

FW

and possibly a RB if Trippier wants to go.

 

We could maybe combine the RW and FW is the right player is out there.

Am not sure where he fits in - we've other positions which are a bigger priority

We need 2 - 1 starting CB as we don’t have one and 1 to replace Kelly who gives us a CB and LB option 

 

It’s simply incredible how we’ve managed a whole season without these (we’ve had bits and pieces of Botman/Kelly)

LB is fine. We have Tino & Hall.

 

RB - if we keep Trippier and Krafth, we can probably get away with that for another year.

 

Pacey CB & GK increase the ceiling.

I shit myself every time there’s a ball in behind our defence so a pacey CB would be my first preference. We’re going to need bargains though given how many players we need.

 

A proper keeper cuts that out too

 

[Kid Icarus]

Didn't realise McAtee's great uncle was Alan Ball. 

[Mahoneys Tache]

For the first time in as long as I can remember, I’ve got complete faith that there is a calm and measured plan around recruitment. Now the PSR pickle is in hand I am confident that it will all fall into place quickly once the window opens.

GK - Trafford

RW - Mbeumo

 

I reckon

I disagree on the basis we lost Kelly and he needs replacing 

 

What happens if Tino gets a long term injury? Who covers Hall?

I think a lot depends on who actually goes this summer from the subs

Dan Burn mate.

 

If we keep Tripps, we aren't signing another LB for the first team.

Huijsen will be going elsewhere, not sure 3 players is enough either.

 

We surely will have to rotate more next season.

[kingxlnc]

We need at least 6 players of which 3 minimum should upgrade the first XI at GK, RCB and RW

Even 6 may be on the light side, if you consider we may be losing Longstaff, Targett, Wilson, Lascelles, Willock, etc

 

This group of lads has won a trophy and it's a nice natural end - now the next phase is due so let's do a proper refresh. 

 

I'd like 3 x first-teamers

2 squad players / cover

2 elite youngsters

 

Ideally 1 or 2 would be free transfers

As a minimum

Schar, Pope, Murphy to become squad players

Joelinton competing with another similar for that strong CM role (not Willock or Longstaff)

Miley to become valid first replacement cover for Tonali or Bruno

Sold: Willock, Longstaff, Dubravka, Vlach, Targett, Ashby, Wilson

This is why I wanted Norgaard from Brentford on a free but he signed a new contract with them. He'd have been ideal to slot in for Tonali or Bruno and push Tonali forward when required.

 

Id like to think we have some smart ideas in this area.

 

I don't think we will sign a CM until Longstaff is gone, or Willock.

Thinking it though, maybe if Longstaff and Willock were sold then we could afford a Wharton (or similar) without losing Joelinton. @Mahoneys Tache is right though, as much as we love Big Joe the clock is ticking on getting serious money for him; as it may well be on him playing in the same style as he currently does.

They are quoting 100m for Wharton.

 

We can't afford him.

Burn doesn’t have the mobility to play LB

 

If you look at our squad there’s 5 positions imo where we essentially don’t really have anyone to properly compete with others 

 

LB (Kelly loaned - Targett always crocked)

CB - didn’t buy one last summer

CM - Longstaff is offering nothing (sold Anderson)

RW - Sold Miggy

CF - Wilson is offering nothing

As much as I hate to admit it, there's some truth in this. Big Joe is 29 in August. 

However, if it was up to me I'd keep big Joe at least one more season at least.

You need players who can play multiple positions. We won't have 22 players of the required level.

 

We won't have 4 top quality fullbacks. We can have 3, including one who can play both flanks and Krafth. That's fine.

 

We won't have 6 top quality attackers for 3 roles. We should have 5 (including Murphy in that), with Gordon and a RW that can play uptop, then Osula as proper backup.

 

We won't have 6 quality midfielders for 3 roles. But we need 4 or 5, including a couple that can play multiple roles in midfield like Bruno can.

 

Unles we can land a proper bargain like a Minteh, Duran, Rogers  you need to make this type of sacrifice.
