NUFC Transfer Rumours

[On the Grid]

Yep but the cartel clubs can pay them more than we can. While the transfer fee seems good value when you take into account the wages its not good value for clubs like us

Probably because he's a bit shit?

I disagree he's what we could've done with on the right flank. 

[On the Grid]

Appreciate there is probably still some value in Europe but its probably seen as more of a risk for a club in our position

Wonder who our alternatives to Pedro would be. Haven't seen any other names linked for the positions he covers

[WilliamPS]

Not sure why the wages get mentioned as a reason for the lower fees. Not like Milan or Lyon said to City oh he’s asking for a big contract, so we’ll knock a few quid off the transfer fee for you.

Well theres no value in England good players with 60 million asking prices is just throwing what psr leeway we have away.

They aren’t mentioned for getting lower fees, the fees are irrelevant because we could never pay the wages the players would want.

Exactly good reasonable deals like when we got botman bruno isak. 

[Alberto2005]

Anyone could have told you 25m for Trafford and 50m for Pedro wouldn't be enough. Hopefully BS.

We spent over 60 million on Isak tbf.

More than fair offers imo.

Good deal for a striker who most of us knew had the ability to get better.

It has proven to be a fantastic deal, but it was still a massive risk at the time.

You pay extra for strikers though it's always been like that. 

[nemtizz]

RW, versatile forward, CM and CB and it's a top tier window. Too much to ask for?

GK and it’s elite.

Celtic are my 2nd team, I watch most of their games, my opinion on him (which is shared by a lot of others) is that he's nowhere near physical enough to survive in the PL. He's had about 3/4 good months in his 18 month spell, but after SPFL teams figured that he's as good as useless if you stop him cutting inside, he was an empty jersey.

There is clearly come talent in there somewhere, but he has the heart of a mouse and would be an unnecessary waste of money.

 Xavi Simons would Be one

 

probably cost 60-70m but he’s only 22 and is of the Tonali Isak level signing

Nothing new from Hardy. First bids never get accepted anyway. We always knew the Pedro fee would be high, its a fair start. If we are really interested we will come with a second.

15 million though no risk taken if he doesn't perform we will probably get our money back.

Like you read my mind.

Cherki was cheap because he'd have left on a free next season and Lyon are in a mess financially. Frimpong had a release clause. Reijnders is 27 and there's literally only a few midfielders in the history of the sport who at that age have gone for a bigger fee.
