NUFC Transfer Rumours

[Conjo]

Our last chance to get Embuemo was in the summer. Completely out of our reach financially....for now.

I get the wait for the summer but can we afford to?

 

Barnes is out for a month. We can probably shoehorn Tino, Willock or Osula there but it's not ideal. Sanusi isn't ready. Harrison doesn't seem to be either. An injury to Gordon or Murphy and we are in trouble..

Totally agree but I think getting a key target who will cost proper money is probably too difficult at the moment due to PSR and ending up in a June selling scenario. Hopefully they can find a way with a sale or two plus loan/obligation to buy to bring in some depth though because I agree a few injuries and we’re in trouble.

[Sibierski]

Considering we have possibly a cup final coming up if goes well, a chance for another cup in the FA Cup and a genuine chance for UCL, it will be a big gamble to end window without signing a RW. 
 

Be alright if Barnes was consistently fit, but if he’s picking up knocks and there’s valid questions about Willock fitness too, it is a gamble.

 

I’m assuming the call comes down to Howe though, if he feels Osula is ready to step up for more minutes 2nd half of season the club will feel it’s a gamble worth taking. Because Isak can be rested more, Joelinton the emergency RW and Miley / Longstaff the back up CMs.

Am I the only one who thinks Mbeumo ain’t it? 
 

The supposed money is wild man.

He’s 1 goal behind Palmer (13 currently) can play RW and CF. We get value for money as he can fill 2 positions. Would love to get him. I’d be just as excited if we got Dibling! Maybe we get a surprise name, but I believe we reinvest this window.

Not being a dick, but interested to see who you think is it if it's not him? There's no one playing that inside forward off the right role better in the PL at the moment.

 

I don't think we will get him, at least not in Jan, but he certainly must be near the top of the list.

When I've seen him (which admittedly is not much) he's struck me as a very good player, but not necessarily a really elite player, I haven't seen that Olise/Guler level of classiness in his game for example. Yet Brentford would quite rightly charge elite player money for him.

 

That's my issue really. He's clearly effective, PL proven, good injury record, can cover LW and striker if needed. I'm sure he'd be a good to very good, low-risk signing and we really can't afford to flop on buys. But it would be a big chunk of cash though and the main issue would be could we invest that big chunk of cash elsewhere and get more for it?

 

Ultimately though he looks like a kickass pirate so I'd be all in.

He's a very good player who I haven't seen anywhere enough of to make a confident judgement. From what I have seen though he appears to be a direct goal threat where as personally im hoping for someone who is more creative. Obviously the sums are also eye watering and he plays for Brentford so teams give him space to exploit natural where as we will face a lot of compact sides. 

[Sibierski]

I’d prefer Dibling over Mbeumo, really do feel Dibling is going to be proper top tier. Way he glides past people, take ball on half turn in tight spaces, making the right decisions at his young age.

 

Such an elite talent. Mbeumo brings goals, but with Dibling, I would be confident of goals increasing from midfield because of his ability to create chances from outwide.

This is where I’m at.

 

When I do watch him, I don’t see him affect play or the squad as much as I’d like.

 

That might be down to his roll at Brentford but I just don’t see him as some elite signing. 

[Sibierski]

Ideal world we get both and that’s the attack sorted with Isak / Osula / Barnes / Gordon for next 3 seasons  

[Sibierski]

Got me going down an early morning hypothetical hole that now. Get both, Murphy insane form entices a newly promoted / bottom half side to spend £25m on him, we get KWP on a free for full back depth, roll dice on the CM collection for another season and sign a low cost CB that’s got potential. 
 

An elite attack can balance out a 7/10 defence. Don’t need all areas of team to be same elite level.

Ideally we would get someone this month, although I’d be surprised if we did. However despite the lack of options we have if Miggy goes as you have highlighted, at this point he was offering absolutely nothing on the pitch. I can’t envisage a scenario where we miss him if he goes, even if we don’t replace him this month.

Yeah good in a transitional team won’t be so good when teams sit deep against us at SJP.

 

We need a Bakayoko type player something different.

I don’t know the clubs finances but it seems odd if having spent barely anything in the summer and looking like we’re offloading at least one player this window in Miggy if we’re unable to make any signings for financial reasons.

If we get in Europe our squad cost limit will be 70% next season under these new rules that’s the problem their facing.

[toon25]

Am always nervous when we have a player like Muphessi tearing it up that it'll come to an abrupt end 

 

Mbuemo would be one of the best signings we could possibly make at the moment 

[Taylor Swift]

Which clubs might miss PSR this year and be forced to sell cheap before the season ends? Man Utd? Chelsea? Who do we want from Chelsea? I would love to poach Colwill.

[Dr.Spaceman]

Surely some clubs missing out on Europe will impact in some way

I don’t know about his character but Palmer would be my top choice

That might be down to his roll at Brentford but I just don’t see him as some elite signing. 

He's also been unsustainably clinical this year. 10 non-penalty goals from 4.2 non penalty xG! Previous years he's underperformed so there's no consistent trend of him being super clinical. Looks like Brentford fans say he used to be a bit wasteful in front of goal and has got more clinical, which is consistent with the stats. Question is will he continue to be clinical going forward?

 

He seems to consistently get about 9.5 range for expected goals (including penalties) and 8.5 for expected assists. That's pretty productive, especially for a team like Brentford.

 

Brentford fans love him though, from their forum they seem to be resigned to him leaving this summer with a lot saying he's their favourite ever player for them. He's apparently a top person as well. My guess is you'd be looking at a fee closer to 60 million than 50 so who knows if we could even afford him should be want to go for him.

I think we'll see a Lewis Hall type loan with an obligation for McAtee at Man City, once Miggy leaves.

 

Was reading yesterday that they want £25 million for him.

 

Well worth a punt even if he only goes on to be a squad player, and he seems to have the potential to be more than that, especially once Howe gets a hold of him.

 

Will be a valuable addition as he can play on the right, upfront, number 10 and as an 8.

He's doing well in a poor Brentford side- only 25, hard working- what's there not to like?

Or Dibling ? McAtee looks to be more versatile mind.
