NUFC Transfer Rumours

I just think hes a really expensive option for a mid table side and his all around game isn't quite good enough for the top sides. 

 

No doubt about his record, I rate him as well just think his price plus wages and limitations make him a tricky proposition. 

 

It's his salary that would be the biggest problem. I think there might well be mid/lower table clubs who would pay the fee, but depends on what we are paying him. Our wage structure is generally higher than most in the lower tier.

Shit source but:

 

 

I mentioned him in passing a while back on the basis that I think he's a left-footed RW who is the right age and I think his contract expires next summer. Don't actually know anything about him though.

 

Edit - me and quite a few others I should say

We were linked last year and I watched him in a few European games off the back of it, and I liked him a lot.

 

Really seemed to play with intelligence and awareness, but still had good physicals and ability on the ball.

 

I think he's been on our radar, but perhaps Mitchell has now been able to provide more info or data, or might now just be giving us the confidence to make this kind of move.

 

Guess we'll see.

Contract expires 2026.

Bakayoko has a contract with PSV until the summer of 2026 and told Voetbal International that he will only leave the club for someone who is fighting for titles.

He said, “I look carefully at where I am now and what I want to achieve. I want to go to a club that can get as far as possible in the Champions League, a club that plays for the title every season. And where I can improve every year. I rule out a lot of clubs. My ambitions are high and not with clubs in the middle. I am doing well here, so I will only swap PSV for a club that plays for trophies.”

Bakayoko has previously been linked with Brentford, Liverpool and PSG.

Watched Semenyo tonight and no doubt he would be an upgrade, works hard, good energy and some decent pull backs, just not sure he really takes us to another level attacking wise though and especially not at 50 million plus.

I’m not keen on Semenyo either. It’s very simplistic but he's got 17 attacking returns in the league since the start of last season while Murphy has got 13 in about half the time.

No thanks to Semenyo. We don’t need another energetic, hard-worker that can run around a lot. I know Eddie values these sorts of attributes very highly, but even he can surely see we need someone more creative in that position.

Considering we were linked with Huijsen in the summer and then pursued a far more expensive Guehi, just shows how Mitchell needs to enforce a new approach.

 

The kid was tremendous against Solanke last night, will go for over 50 million in next 2 seasons.

 

I bet he’s on less wages then Lloyd Kelly as well, real false economy and highlights our narrow view of the transfer market.

Can’t say I disagree with any of that - actually a really good profile of player with an incredible upside - kind of the profile of player we needed aswell

Whilst I agree with this, some of the links so far ahead of January don’t suggest much of a change of approach regarding transfers (Semenyo, Mbuemo, Guehi and Elanga all linked). Obviously only speculation, but the nosies don’t suggest Mitchell is enforcing any new approach.
