NUFC Transfer Rumours

[Izakaya]

Tapsoba all day. 

 

Don't want the club to even exchange emails with fucking Chelsea. 

[KaKa]

Interestingly, Leverkusen have had a £25 million deal for Van Den Berg from Liverpool accepted as of yesterday. Centre back that did well on loan at Mainz last season.

 

The timing could be significant if they are expecting to lose one of their centre backs.

Tapsoba is clearly the best option out of all the ones rumoured.

 

Disasi would be okay as well, I think people would be far more in favour of him if he were coming straight from Monaco rather than via Chelsea. Especially knowing Mitchell's links there. 

 

I reckon a deal for Disasi is probably quicker to get done as well which may be something the club need to think about. Plus there's a chance Chelsea could be open to a loan instead.

 

Yeah, agree on Tapsoba. He is the most gifted of the centre backs we've been linked with this summer. The title winning experience is also massive.

 

I also agree on Disasi. He's got ability, and looked really good at Monaco. Just needs a bit of refining. I think he's likely the fall back option if Guehi and Tapsoba fall through.

[Zero]

I would stay away from Disasi. Was the worst CB for Chelsea last season. 

[timeEd32]

I don’t really have an opinion on Disasi, but we should probably be open to anyone coming from Chelsea not necessarily giving the best account of themselves.

It’s a complete fallacy to suggest we have to pay through the nose for players who would improve the squad and have genuine potential to develop into very, very good players.

The fact that we did it twice with Bruno and Botman, good age, plenty of experience and good ceiling (it’s more than possible we didn’t expect Bruno to become the monster he’s become) proves this.

It depends what your aims are? Apart from Leicester, nearly every team that has won a trophy has paid through the nose for players. At some point you need to take that leap or else you just plateau and won't win anything. Yes, you can find bargains but you can't do that across the whole team. A good example of the mix you should aim for is say Ferdinand & Vidic with regards to transfer fees.

Joelinton - damage.

 

FFS

Is Zero implying that keeping Minteh and Anderson would have better than selling Joelinton?
 

Assuming clubs were in for Joelinton at the right price with only 18 months left on his deal, of course. Plus the injury. 
 

Is that the ‘damage’ being referred to?

[Sibierski]

Said in other thread, red flag for me if we’re even genuinely considering Diasi, as that’s just Mitchell going with someone he knows. Never go for previous players you’ve worked with. 

 

Going to be a right shit show these next 10 days. RW links have gone altogether, so that’s Almiron and Murphy for the season.

Why? Eddie's done okay with Callum Wilson thus far when he's been available.

More for DoF. When they go to targeting players from ex clubs, dealing with connections from previous clubs, it’s a red flag for me. 

 

Chelsea for example have signed a silly amount of players from clubs people in their boardroom have connections with.

[mattypnufc]

Everyone focusing on the link of Daisaster and not Tapsoba…

RW links have gone altogether? I’ll reserve judgement until the window shuts. 

[KingArthur]

I don't think Disasi would be awful signing. Wouldn't like to help Chelsea, but could do worse.

He's a striker with potential. Seems to have the physical requirements to do well. Howe and Tindall rates him. Sounds good to me.

So a younger Chris wood with less goals. Brilliant. Dont know why I’m worried.

Tapsoba would be an impressive coup. Would be very nice to add a title winner too, especially one that managed it at an unfancied club for the first time, against the odds. Could do with that experience!

 

As a defender, really like how he defends. Very very smooth. Always makes it look easy.

 

Sounds like Botman. 

[gdm]

Saw a video of Tapsoba. He’s the one I really want to sign now 

 

sigh 

[KDT]

Disasi - I feel like there is the potential for any Chelsea signing to be given a bit of a free pass on one indifferent season with a crackpot of a football club. Perhaps he‘s best judged on his earlier form.

Have I missed recent links with him then?

Ornstein last night saying we're looking at him & Disasi from Chelsea as Guehi alternatives if we can't do a deal with Palace.

I think we won’t get Guehi. They’ve overplayed their hand on the price point and we won’t budge to what they want. Sad, as he would be ideal, but not at the price they’re quoting. 
 

Tapsoba would be exciting, Disasi meh.

[Jewel]

Tapsoba would be great, but I doubt we get him.

That’s what I explained in the Minteh thread. The original plan by Ashworth is to sell Joe instead of extending his contract. Once Ashworth on leave, Howe and Staveley just scrapped the plan. I won’t repeat here.

 

Pretty sure we could at least recoup around 30m which means we don’t need to sell both Minteh and Anderson. I don’t really care about Anderson anyway.

 

That said it’s also true we will have a weaker squad this season, we may not get the three points against Soton. What we have instead is a solid starting RW whose value can keep on rising which will be good for us in long term. 
 

Unless Man City won the case and put an end to the bullshit PSR, this long term / short term problem will keep on coming back to hit us hard.

you keep doubling down on this but absolutely no one other that an ex employee of the club wanted to sell Joelinton. It was never an option.

But big Joe is much better than either of Minteh and Anderson.

That’s another issue, Ashworth didn’t want to sell Joelinton, he just didn’t want to make pay him Bruno money.
