NUFC Transfer Rumours

[Unbelievable]

Being perfectionist (or as close to it as possible) is exactly how we should be operating and how we have to operate. Just bringing in players to simply improve on what we have now doesn’t work as we’re then in the same situation a year or two down the line when they then need replacing and we can’t shift them on because of the salary they’re on or the price we want to improve our PSR position.

 

If PSR wasn’t a thing then bringing in Huijsen (if he matches the positional profile we’re looking for) maybe happens at that price point but he might not tick enough boxes. If he did, I’m sure we would have made a move for him at that price but I’m guessing we have someone more suited and more transformational lined up. For what it’s worth I’d like to see us sign some younger players in that kind of price range to pad the squad out, especially next year when we’re likely to lose several players. At the minute, though, it simply isn’t possible because of our PSR restrictions. 

 

Every penny we spend has to be accounted for and needs to represent value for us in not just the short-term but also medium to long-term. Using Chiesa as an example is actually ironic as that is exactly the type of deal we should be avoiding. His wages are probably on the high side of what we want to be paying and there’s also huge doubts about his fitness and quality these days. If we sign him on a four-year deal and he flops, that’s an expense we cannot afford to carry year-on-year. 

Agree with most of that, but Huijsen is exactly the type of player we should be looking at for that position, i.e. a very promising albeit a bit raw central defender, who can already do a job and has the potential to be a starter long term. Every transfer carries a risk, but I think Huijsen at 12m will be seen as a bargain over time. He has the Spanish national team and the Dutch national team fighting over which he will represent in the future already (Spain winning).

No, however, I do see some significant gaps in the calculations provided, with emphasis on SIGNIFICANT. I will refrain from elaborating on this matter due to the apparent arrogance displayed by you and others in your arguments. I believe time will reveal the this, and I will revisit this topic in the near future. For now, I will remain silent regarding this. 

 

 

I'd be very interested in an actual, valuable reply in the FFP thread, but looks like you'd rather stick to asking other people to put the hard yards in for you, then tell them continuously how wrong they are without providing any meaningful analysis yourself

Why do people keep mentioning Chiesa as a no brainer when he's exactly the opposite. Injury prone, in poor form, huge wages and has never played outside of Italy. It's such a lazy suggestion based on his name and nothing else.

Is also right footed and prefers playing on the left. 
 

People want him because he was excellent at the Euros 3 years ago and his dad was a baller too.

Madueke would be perfect for us. Chelsea paid £28.5 for him and want £40 but they have too many players vying for rw and need to sell.  My guess is we buy at around £35 with add ons. He can cover for striker too.

Totally agree.

Reading the Chelsea forum they reckon he looks lost under Maresca's tactics so that might encourage them even more to move him on.

You can imagine he's a player that will look immense under Eddie.

What has Madueke done to be worth £40m? Less productive than the lad I can’t speak about in Holland.  Average underlying stats in the PL. Averwge output.

I go by the assumption that any functioning PL player starts at £30m. Then he's English.

Is that the lad that Jacob Murphy is currently pissing all over in pre season by any chance? 

[janpawel]

Plot twist, we sell Murphy for £30m and keep Miggy after his electric preseason

In fairness Madueke has looked more impressive playing for PSV before his Chelsea move than Minteh has done for Feyenoord last season. I reckon Madueke at 40m is decent value considering his age and experience.

Careful, we'll end up with yet another thread taken over by that topic.

8 goals in 34 appearances last season. Considered by their fans to be one of the reasons their form improved in 2nd half of last season.

I would say he's easily worth £40m in todays inflated valuations

Think Murphy is ahead of Miggy as a backup now, personally. He was pretty productive last season. He's also younger and cheaper.

Nope.

 

Miggy is better defensively though, but we need more in those forward areas.

In a inferior league for a dominant team, wonder if you switched them around if that stats would stay the same, suspect very much not

[SUPERTOON]

I’d be happy to sell either Miggy or Murphy tbh.
