NUFC Transfer Rumours

Sure, he doesn't have to have any loyalty to us. But it won't be surprising if he catches a lot of shit over it, particularly considering emotions like loyalty, love and betrayal generate the money that makes him a multimillionaire in the first place - otherwise he'd be earning the same wage as a field hockey player or something.

Catch a of shit how exactly?

 

I want him replaced but that's bollocks.

We need the right sided player to be a bit different and have a bit guile, all in on this lad we don’t need anymore speed merchants, we need some technically gifted players who can create and look after the ball better.

The Mig’s headless chicken act needs to be a thing of the past. I’d take Murphy as the back up but neither him or Miggy should be a starter for a team pushing for CL qualification.

Although they both were when we achieved that qualification. But yes I’d like a new RW with Murphy/Gordon switching  as back up.

Are we in for this lad? Looks exciting.

 

 

 

 

 

Not set off a ‘clamming-drool-must have’ kind of feeling (wtf am I on about…) but do love a ‘hipsway’ style dribbler, and he’s quick and direct. Would be happy with him and The Juice as options if it meant we got Guehi.

He’s versatile and only 20, lots of room for development too!

It does feel a little like our RW search has shifted within the last week from looking at £50M-£60M players to £20M-£30M players. Which I suppose would make sense if we're now considering Guehi over Thiaw. Got to get that extra millions from somewhere if no sales are being made.

But the Liverpool Echo says that us signing Guehi (if we do), will increase our need to sell someone.

 

Of course this is turn means it's more likely than ever their beloved Liverpool FC will sign boyhood fan Anthony Gordon...

Football London states the same, with the only difference being that Arsenal signs Isak.

For all the cries about journalist agenda's and need for clicks, I am not sure how it could even be denied by anybody who has had more than a cursory glance at our accounts that any money we spend bringing players in will have to be compensated by money coming in from outgoings? Unless we have some major new sponsorships lined up (which seems unlikely) it will be a matter of who leaves, not if players leave. Hopefully we can finally get rid of some deadwood for decent fees.

 

Yes, yes, PSR is boring I know, but it is also a fact of life for NUFC.

Our CEO said have have things lined up to be announced soon, not a couple of weeks ago didn't he? ??? 

 

Also, you are correct, PSR is unbelievably boring, and takes the fun out of transfer windows :p

Yeah maybe but it’s highly unlikely that whatever is to be announced will bridge the gap, we are talking huge numbers here.

He did indeed reference a few new commercial deals coming in. However I can't see how that could bridge our substantial PSR gap. Maybe a few million per season more in it considering the sponsorship already in place, unless the City case blows up the related parties restrictions. We needed 60m this past end of June, in a year with CL but not the Adidas deal. Bring in Guehi and a RW without any substantial outgoings and we would almost certainly need similar by June next year.

I get what you're saying, and I understand it's important, but I honestly really struggle to give an ounce of care about PSR, it just so tedious and boring, and it feels like the epitome of whats wrong with this modern corporatized version of football.

 

And ultimately, I trust the club to do whats right, I know it was a bit panicky towards the end but they managed it in June, even if it wasn't smooth. I think it also helps that I know that, even if they make mistakes, they're aim is to make us better, so if they think we can sign these players (Which they clearly do) then i'm going to be along for the ride, and get excited by it.

timeEd's absurdly detailed and researched post (it was him right?) definitely changed my outlook on this window. But still, there can be too many variables in the way transfers are structured, for example, to be absolutely sure what's possible.. even before we get into stuff like selling hotels to ourselves.. not that we possess any :lol: but I'd like to see more creative accounting from us.

It's obvious enough on here that people are out of patience with him. If he ends up hanging around for another two years running out his contract, running into brick walls on the pitch and blocking a squad place when we're meant to be pushing on, it's going to end up on a very sour note.

He leaves now, he leaves with our thanks and a lot of positive memories.

 

He digs his heels in on a potential move when we need the sale to increase PSR headroom and people will be less enamoured.

 

All the comparisons to “what if your job asked you to…” - football is a wacky transient job category of its own. My job doesn’t have a contracted end date and doesn’t pay me a kings’ ransom each year. We’ve seen Maxi already back from KSA after a year, same would happen to Miggy.

The deals have not yet been made public (which he did indicate were substantial), and it is already unclear how they will bridge the "PSR gap."

 

Give it a rest lad.

As it happens, I would go to Saudi. But yeah, the question is already inherently different if you've already moved across the world from home to Malaysia, before going across to Kenya prior to receiving the Saudi offer.
