NUFC Transfer Rumours

[WilliamPS]

Murphy is having his Miggy in 22/23 season. The team is playing well, the fullback behind is in form and the striker is scoring for fun, and he’s taking full advantage - good for him - but he can’t produce something on his own the way Gordon can, he’s just not at that level. 
 

For Mbuemo agree the moment has probably gone, it would have had to be 2 years ago. I reckon the player would come but the fee will be too high.

Muembo and Dibling? We've only got 50 quid to spend man

Honestly get both Mbuemo and Dibling

 

 

I know fans should be allowed to fantasize, but where exactly are we pulling £100m from to spend on two RWs when we apparently need to sell to buy in first place, not to mention the need to strengthen other areas also.

- Newcastle United will look to Internazionalemidfielder Davide Frattesi to replace Bruno Guimarães if the 27-year-old leaves in 2025, reports TEAMtalk, with Manchester City being the favourites to sign the Brazil international. Frattesi's transfer is valued at around €50m and there will be competition from Manchester United, Tottenham and Roma for the 25-year-old.

 

Would love to see a midfield trio of Tonali with Bruno and Frattesi either side of him. That Frattesi has goals in him

Some fans falling into the trap once again of thinking Murphy can keep this up till the end of the season, he can't. He's not actually playing well, and I hate saying this but he's "just" scoring goals and getting assists. He was OK today just like he was against Man Utd.  Our chances of finishing top 5 increase drastically if Murphy is replaced in the next couple of weeks. Even more so if it's Mbeumo or Semenyo that replaces him.  

 

Unfortunately for us though, Bournemouth are doing very well and even Brentford have been competing in the top half, so neither will be easy to sign or desperate to leave this month.

 

 

Agree with this. While his stats are great, the football does get patchy on his flank because his touch and close control are inconsistent. While he's pulling out goals and assists it doesn't really matter, but it would be hard to reproduce that for another half a season. But at least it won't be a disaster if we don't sign a right winger this month.

RW is the only position we could do that for tbf. We'll need to sell to spend 100mil, but I'm sure by the time we need to we'll Almiron, Longstaff, Targets and maybe Trippier all gone for some kind of fee.

Southampton are gone would imagine our best chance of getting Dibling is to strike this month. Come the summer think competition will be much tougher, might be one they try to structure a deal where we pay after the PSR deadline.

Would be doing the same thing. Even agree to loan them some prospects / players for their Championship stint to help keep their costs down when their inevitable fire sale kicks off.

Hope alluded to us trying for him this month.

I dont think its fair to compare Murphy to Almiron and think its just him having a purple patch. I think he is much more reliable and steadily improving. 

 

Just look at the stats of goals+assists.

 

Murphy:

22/23 1 pr every 200mins

23/24 1 pr every 120mins

24/25 1 pr every 110mins

 

Almiron:

21/22 1 pr every 1700mins

22/23 1 pr every 200mins

23/24 1 pr every 500mins

 

Sure alot of Murphys goal points have come in patches, but thats true for most players. 

Yeah maybe he lacks abilities in the build up play, but its not like he is a luxury player who doesnt put in the work either.

If we can bring in Mbeumo for a fair price then go ahead, but I really doubt that we can achieve that.

Dibling does feel like there’s something in it as with Trafford 

[Shearergol]

Are 2 year obligation loans a thing in the PL? Like spurs did with kulu?
 

obviously not a great deal for Southampton like

When your dealing with Italian clubs it sure is.

More our profile i feel. So is the Bournemouth lad but i think Liverpool will go for him in the summer if Salah leaves.

[Dokko]

Dibling loan to buy in the summer with muggy going on loan the other way would suit both parties. Need some creative moves. Do the same with Trafford and the Greek.

Not sure what Southampton get out of that in their situation other than a past it Miggy

They’re rubbish, he’d easily be one of their best players, and a lot of money for an academy product who probably doesn’t see staying there as tenable in the long-term. I don’t think miggy would agree tbh.

Don't think he's past it at all. He's just one dimensional, and always has been. A good run of games and he's easily a lower end PL player. If anything, he's too good for a relegation battle.

Very much doubt it suits Miggy like.

He's not getting games, rejected moves away. A loan puts him in the shop window whilst retaining his full pay. Unless he's happy not playing.

Sign Dibling this month and loan him back for the rest of this season. we’ll be fine with Murphy and Barnes until the summer. 
 

Can’t see Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City or spurs going for him.

 

That only leaves Liverpool , Man Utd and villa plus ourselves. Given we need someone in that role and how well Eddie develops players, that should give us the jump on Man Utd and villa, it’s only Liverpool which could be the major problem.

The only caveat from Hope is that if Liverpool show interest he’ll go to them. They’d have to sell Doak to do it which seems a bit robbing Peter to pay Paul.

He doesn’t need to be in the ‘shop window’, especially not in a team getting howked every week.

 

Any MLS or South American teams know who he is already. 

[geordie john]

Did you watch Dibling in the Brentford game? He strolled around with his socks down by his ankles, looked totally disinterested, barely ran anywhere. I know Southampton are bad, but he seriously didn't impress me at all. I guess there's something in him that Eddie and Co. can see.
