NUFC Transfer Rumours


Recommended Posts

I think we have our price (probably around the £25 million reported) we have communicated this unofficially while getting the player on board. Now we'll sit back and wait.

 

We've seen Man City and the like do this before and they usually get their man. It's really gratifying to see us in the same boat already. We know we have an exciting project, a fantastic coaching team with a proven record of improving players in place and that this sell us to players so they won't want to go anywhere else. This is much like the prospect of working with Guardiola does for City.

Was meant for the Barnes thread.

Most of the leaks must come from the agents. And it's something that you'll never stop if you want to sign the player. 

 

Leaking the interest means possible bidding war =more money for the agent. 

 

By the way, UEFA regulations on agents start after this transfer window. So this is the last time parents/brothers serve as agents and other agents to make money through traditional means. Transfers are going to be more complicated due to this.

 

I am sure the agents will find other ways, but this is the last transfer window for the usual operations.

Anyone fancy putting a list up of our squad, salary, age and say 5 picks to get rid of? Lewis, Hendrick and Fraser must be shoe in’s. Targett as well imo; he’s something like 3rd or 4th highest earner.

Such a no brainer of a deal 

 

Only caveat is the kind of deal Man City want - sell on clauses etc - I suppose with a year left of his contract the wriggle room

isn’t the same as with others they have sold

No chance they give away the England U21 Captain, without keeping their claws in him. That will be sell on/buy back claused to death that deal. Good player, but I doubt we want to get involved in that.

Does Disasi seem out type of signing?

Older right footed version of Badiashile who we missed out on but wanted. Both decent attacking CB's, decent pace and physical. 

 

Still think it's nonsense though but looks like someone we would be into.

Fraser - £2.17m through 2024/25

We should be offering him a free helicopter / private jet to anywhere in the world if we can shed those wages.

 

Lewis - ~£2m through 2024/25 (£6m amortization remaining; £3m per year)

I'm assuming we'd want some kind of fee for him. If we could get £6M or more I'm guessing he'd be gone.

 

Targett - £5.2m through 2025/26  (£11.25m amortization remaining; £3.75m per year)

For FFP purposes he is costing us almost £9m per year for the next three years -- that's half a Tonali/Isak in terms of fee + wages. If he's not playing semi-regularly then I'd probably rank him #1 overall in terms of the benefit of moving him on.

 

Krafth - £2.86m through 2023/24

Unfortunately with his injury and the fact it sounds like he's still recovering it seems like he's probably just a sunk cost for this season. I didn't realize what he was on until last week and I was genuinely shocked.

 

Dubravka - £2m through 2024/25 or Darlow - ~£1.5m through 2024/25

Bringing back Karius gives us the flexibility to move on one of these two. Seems like Darlow is most likely.

 

------------------------------------

Getting rid of two of Fraser / Lewis / Krafth / Dubravka / Darlow would pay for Bruno's rumored wage increase for the next two years. Getting rid of three of them would essentially pay the wages of a Trippier / Isak / Tonali level earner.
