Look a reasonable keeper with the required skill set that can enable them to go up a level. Leicester stay up, may need sales and could be an opportunistic move.

I hope we’d be aiming a bit higher than him. He looks tiny (listed at 6 2”, of course) and a bit flappy at times. I think the same applies to Trafford, personally. But I suppose both are young in goalkeeping terms. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checko Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Dewsbury Hall sounds like a second rate period drama. Not interested. It would be interesting, if we don't spend and have a little PSR leeway, to see if we can profit from teams desperate to sell in June. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucasol Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Interesting one from Football365. bEIN Jacobs talking to that nugget Goldbridge: Ben Jacobs, talking to The United Stand, revealed that Newcastle are the only club to make a ‘concrete’ approach for Mbeumo this season – but it explained that it will be a hugely difficult deal to complete in the January window.

I'm sure we were linked before as I remember seeing he was on loan at Nurnberg. I always think you need to be wary of strikers that bag goals in the Bundesliga. Where they seem allergic to defending properly. Never mind the second division. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 They have a one year option too, so it's basically 2027. No chance given what he'd cost I'd say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 It's not ideal that Liverpool and potentially Chelsea are going to br in the market for a RW this summer too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Indeed - if we could make a move for a RW now that would be ideal given the likely competition. I think we need Miggy and probably one other out the door to have room to do so though, unless it's some very generous loan-to-buy situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 But their pathways are shut off potentially. Like who in their right mind who you want joins Chelsea? If they do, red flag and best avoiding (got so many RW options). Then if Salah stays, any new RW will be playing scratch minutes and some cup games, and likely staying that till Salah contract ends.

Sibierski Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 We’re effectively the only top end club that has a clear pathway at RW for the new signing to be their own star in that position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if we get champions league then we can sign really high calibire RW players and they’ll want to come too. Mbuemo would be an awesome signing in the summer.

The College Dropout Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 On 12/01/2025 at 21:02, Begbie said: I think they will start feeling the PSR in the comming years. Leicester are talking about it, Everton and Forrest had point deducted, and more will need to sell their best assets or also face point deduction. Just hope the «rest» will wake up soon. Nobody else (bar 3 or 4) wants to sustain significant losses though. The PL is the cartel. The clubs want to rake in the TV money and minimise costs. PSR helps to minimise costs. It's only ever going to be a few clubs at a time that want to invest heavily for a sustained period of time to grow. The more clubs are allowed to invest and grow, the more other clubs have to spend to keep up. The PL doesn't want clubs coming up and doing a Forest, spending £200m on seasoned pro's to keep in the league. That's awful. It makes the other 14 more likely to be relegated.

McCormick Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Not sure why people here hate on Elanga so much. Agree the prices being thrown around for him last summer were a bit mad but he’s a very decent player in the right set up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus with any player, especially in attacking areas, you have to take into account the 'Howe' (and staff tbf) effect. Take how good he is now, accept that it will likely take at least half a season for them to a regular, but that when they get to that stage there will likely be a marked in improvement on the player they were when they came in.
