NUFC Transfer Rumours

[TRC]

Sometimes you need to sell while the stock is high too. We have missed the window on many players to sell while they were in demand in the past. Dyer and Jenas being the obvious ones.

Liverpool did it as well. Sold their star players like Suarez. The Coutinho money bought them Salah, Van Dijk and Alisson.

 

They only sold for absolutely crazy money mind. I think we'll sell as well if we receive those sort of offers, just not convinced we will. Teams are being a lot more cagey throwing money around now. Other than Chelsea.

The thing is that if we were to sell Isak for crazy money, it would have to be done as part of a bigger plan and I would have to think that money would have already been pre-spent - that is, deals would have already have been arranged contingent upon us selling Isak. There's no use selling and then sitting there with a pile of money that everyone will be looking to fleece us out of. Ideally it would all be set up well in advance. 

 

That would require harmony and proper communication between the coaching staff and the sporting director, however.

Our problems are 2 fold. 
 

Liverpool can sell for crazy money and invest it all back in + FfP headspace. We can’t - some of that money goes to repay FFP deficit. 
 

And likewise clubs aren’t throwing the cash around like that anymore. 
 

IMO we need to reduce the wage bill and sell if a player wants to break it.  
 

Our wage bill is ever increasing. We’ve not sold anyone that would demand a significant wage rise. We’ve just eaten the costs.  A number of our players are on top 4-6 type wages. That must be 1 or 2.

We wont find a like for like striker for Isak, but we can have a more balanced team if we invest the money in a good way.

Isak would score 20 goals past us in an arsenal team.

Yeah, not sure I have faith we will do that.

Not after the last transfer window, but the people in charge wont be here much longer if they come up with another farce.

Bought Salah first, didn’t they? But yeah, Alisson and VVD were pretty much the missing pieces that won them the league.
