NUFC Transfer Rumours

[Whitley mag]

Was Pedro even going to play week in and week out ? Just can’t see without a change in formation where he would have played, 50 million for a back up striker would have been a luxury.

 

Go get Trincao, or the lad from Monaco and fill a position we need on the right and give us some creativity in the final third.

Not more than a CB or RW. At least we have one world class striker.

Agree, but we have no cover for Isak. Its as important as anything else.

How do we get this "striker of quality", when we have more pressing concerns in other areas of the pitch? Any examples who we should look for?
If we buy GK, RCB and RW all of quality, we have no money for this "striker of quality". And this leaves us with 5 midfielders for 3 places, which is way too few. 

You can't understand people's thinking and I can't understand your thinking. 

We have cover for goal keeper, right winger and centre half currently. We don't have for striker apart from Osula. If Isak gets a long term injury then we are fucked. DCL being mentioned is a joke and if you think the other areas are more pressing concerns, then that is just wrong

Still got a week to go yet, Howe will be picking up the bat phone to Yasir Al-Rumayyan tomorrow

 

 

He had a bat phone and he didn't think to pick it up last week?

Watching PSG earlier i think if we buy Xavi Simons we could play 3 up top with a false 9 which rotate which will help mitigate Isaks injury.

 

Or the other option is to get a RW who can play CF.

Eddie's been on his hols, those 2 half hearted numptys have been in charge, all change this week.

We can't flog Isak for 50-odd games next season, a decent backup is an absolute must

[andycap]

If we got dcl that's three strong in the forward position. And I think Osula could do a job if giving the chance.

Our cover for RW is to play people out of position. 

We are not getting a big money striker as a Isak backup. That just does not happen with PSR. Thinking that is a joke tbh. We are getting a backup option, either a free like DCL or cheap from abroad.

 

If we were going to get expensive striker, why offer Wilson new deal? To be a 3rd choice?

Don’t use DCL and the word “strong” - he’s fucking dross.

I don't think he is he has attributes that are useful. Fair enough his injuries are a concern but so where Wilsons. 

[Weezertron]

Transfer strategy has to change.

Continually shite in front of goal. Not an Isak deputy, just a useless warm body to hoy in to make up the numbers. I’d rather us have a smidgeon of ambition and sign someone who can put the ball in the net than this schmuck.

He's free otherwise I wouldn't have him as an option. 

[Andy84]

Howe literally said in a presser we can’t go for the premium, already PL based players due to the finances. Bit confusing that’s exactly what we’ve done

Let's be positive, could all be a smokescreen. Our real targets might still be getting lined up on the quiet ready to unveil over the next few days! 

[Dr.Spaceman]

Whatever happens from here will be fascinating to say the least. We won't have another summer like last, that's for sure.

[Toon No9]

We should be targeting young up and coming players to get a bigger squad. Our first eleven is very good but we need better backup players so we can rotate more.

 

We don't need two £50M players. I see more value in signing four £25M players.

It's up to our scouts to find £20-25M players who Eddie can develop and become as good as the players we chase today.

So why sign him? Because he’s free? We’re better than that man.

That would be my punt. If we can’t beat the horrible cunts with their baked in advantages and hobbling of us, let’s play smarter and get the next batch of Bruno’s, Botman’s and Isak from overseas.

[Mike]

Is there anyone at Lyon that would be worth a go?

We are but we have limited money by the looks of things so dcl could be a stopgap for a year or two while we strengthing our winger and defender positions.

Fofana in midfield but you know Boehly and his horrible gang of fuckers will in on that like a tramp on a bag of chips (Spoiler - they are: https://www.footballinsider247.com/exclusive-chelsea-to-strike-fallen-lyon-for-cheap-fofana-deal-cut-throat-update/)

I thought that was why we hired Mitchell tbh.

I don't mind if we're careful, with the game so rigged in favour of the scummy six we have to be smart.  We can't afford to waste money, when we're trying fight with two arms tied behind our backs. 

 

 

 

 

And then when you do find a diamond in the dirt the media clubs together to engineer a move to said scummy six. It’s the fuckin pits man.
