Very impressive. Won’t mind a 50m bid.

[BennyBlanco]

I mean, yeah. 
 

Mbuemo ticked all the boxes didn’t he. Goals and assists for days. Would have flourished under Eddies mags. 
 

But - bigger picture stuff - he’s chose the dollar. By all accounts he’s quadrupled his wages - fair fucks to him. How many players have moved to that club and dropped off? Nearly all of them? There you go. 
 

I fully trust Howe, given his recent comments, to strengthen the team. 

[Teslact]

Maybe I'm being delusional, but maybe we are forcing other clubs' hands to clear the way for our real targets (won't stop Todd from stock piling though). Eddie said that CL qualification over EL didn't particularly matter.

[Menace]

Welcome Anthony Elanga etc

while Lee Kang-In fits the more playmaker role I think we need on the rw his athleticism scares me. 
 

The few times I've seen him play he looks like he wears concrete boots. 

[Ilovetoon8788]

Elanga and James mcatee will be great addition. 

[Sibierski]

Think we’ll make our moves after the big boys have made theirs start of this window. Man City / Chelsea / Man Utd / Liverpool will look to have all done their big boy business, it then gives us a clean run on others.

This is how I’m thinking too. He would’ve been ideal but clearly wanted ridiculous money which we weren’t going to pay. We would’ve still given him a great wage, CL football, working under Howe, St James park but it seems the main driver was cash. Fair play if that’s what he wants but we haven’t been signing players like that.

Mount was a world beater a couple of seasons ago, he took the cash option and now look at him

Was he? Always felt he was pretty average and injury prone 

[Optimistic Nut]

Use the £50m for Minteh.

He can be coached. He's technically better than every player in our team on his day.

 

His passing stats are something crazy like 91% which for a creative player is actuslly insane.

 

Silva and Bernardo aren't physically imposing or particularly athletic but they knew exactly when and how to press and won more than their fair share of dues as a result.

With Ligue 1's broadcasting disasters, their clubs will be ripe for some low-balling you would've thought?

We might look at Harvey Elliot too if they buy Wirtz? These players might not have the initial excitement as a Mbeumo but they would fit right into what we want as players at NUFC, plus with Howe’s coaching etc

[Lush Vlad]

I’m not as down on Elanga as others on here. Rapid, can play off both feet, takes set pieces, decent numbers in a team that aren’t renowned for their attacking prowess (scored 10 less than us and joint lowest scorers in the top 10). 

But like Mbeumo, if he were to leave. He’d cost daft money and more than likely be after huge wages, too. 
 

I’d rather him over Semenyo (overrated) and Madueke (egg). But there’s no value or juice in any of the 4 mentioned here and looking abroad or a punt on someone younger or the Champo might be the way to go. 
 

May as well stick with our own juice on the right hand side.

I’d love us to sign McAtee. Think he’d offer some versatility too. Which I get the impression Howe is a fan of. Most coaches would be, TBF.

100% our number one target. A younger Murphy.

We don't need a younger version of Murphy. We need a better version of Murphy.

120m this year and the first window is hardly open, but remember lads. 

 

As bad as Ashley. 

 

Conveniently ignoring the £100m of sales last year I see.  Most of which were pure profit sales. You're better than this fella.

 

We also have no idea what Mbeumo will cost, and the talk is he wants 4x his £45k wages, which is £180k. It's not much more than what you've paid Gordon, Bruno, Joelinton etc. You even gave £150k to Lloyd Kelly. People need to stop acting like these players are getting handed Casemiro contracts.

A fat chunk of the fee will go to us as well.  Chunky sell on clause inserted when we sold Elanga.

His point is still right re Ashley like. Highlighted by the list of players you're citing being non-Ashley signings (Joelinton aside)

11 goals and 10 assists in a PL season when he was 22. He was considered to have a massive potensial back then, as he was already very good.

There's no need to get into this again.  There's enough material from respected columns for people to educate themselves on why The Glazers are much worse. I don't need to try and argue it with people who won't listen.
