NUFC Transfer Rumours


Recommended Posts

Has there been a tier list of journalists relating to transfer rumours produced? I feel like Caulkin used to get the scoop, then Ornstein was pretty much nailed on.

 

Football Insider just seem to go scatter gun to fill their website - Aston Villa are signing that Espanyol keeper based on their report today to replace Martinez, but last week he was 100% coming to us.

 

The most credible link seems to be to Delap who Moyes confirmed in his press conference has spoke to Everton and then 3 or 4 other clubs (probably Man United, Chelsea and us) so far.

We could decide to mutually terminate his contract if nobody wants him, take the financial hit but wont be as much as paying his wages for a year and allows him to sign elsewhere on a free.

 

Obviously the cost of a mutual termination will be less than last summer.

The smallest financial hit on Hayden is if we get him loaned out so mutual termination makes no sense

There's not much risk with Mbuemo, but there isn't much reward either. He's highly unlikely to get better at this stage, so we get what we get and prey it's worth the astronomical PL-premium we'd havet to pay. If we bought him, and he had a good season, I don't think he'd be a big improvement in terms of numbers on what Murphy has provided us this season.

 

I'd rather we took a calculated risk on someone cheaper and younger that could potentially become better than Mbuemo, while leaving us with more to spend on other positions as well.

 

I think we'd pretty much guarantee ourselves 3-4 seasons more at least of Murphy style figures given the players around him, plus a better all-round game. I think he'd be a hugely rewarding signing.

Is there a shite royalty free music site that all these football highlight channels all use? Need NFL style player highlights where its just highlights, no music.

65daysofstatic should have the contract for all player showreels. He looks like a player and I agree that we should looking outside the box at this kind of player that screams of potential and value. Might be shite in the EPL but I'm up for taking risks.

Hayden’s already been written off for PSR purposes, so it doesn’t really matter what happens with him does it?


even if his contract is written off in the PSR accounts, we can still claim any money we receive for him

We’ll not receive any money for him though, will we?

Joao Paedo gets a no from this poster.

 

Same as the Ekitike argument for me.

 

Sick of hearing the same rumours, the value has gone now - we will hopefully have players of similar calibre on our radar to regurgitate/bed into the time.

As long as its in next seasons accounts it makes no odds at all whether we release or keep Hayden, it's one year wages in one year regardless.

 

Any payments due for us terminating would be the difference but that may be countered by a loyalty bonus if we keep him to the end.

 

Id guess we'd let him leave on a free of there was an offer but if not he'd stay on payroll and use the facilities to keep in some form of fitness
