NUFC Transfer Rumours

[Ikon]

Whatever and whenever we sign a new player I want it to be composed and technical players that improve us in general play and possession. Would also like to see Howe come up with something that improves our control regarding this. I still think we should do better with what we have to be honest. 
 

And no, I don’t want us to be like endless tiki taka, it’s not about that. If you think we shouldn’t be and do better in this area then I don’t know what to say. As much as I like them we need to replace the likes of Burn  and Joelinton to name two, no matter how well they’ve done at times. To evolve we need to get better in this area, I said it before last season and it’s one of the reasons I was against us signing Barnes. (Elanga as well)

After Mitchells interview and the reaction after it after the last window, I’d rather they didn’t say anything tbh.

And Eales last January. Any time they come out with something that isn’t good news, the reaction is over the top negative. 

[The Prophet]

Personally think Eales is a decent communicator. They're damned if they do and damned if they don't.

Someone at the club needs to update the fans Of what's going on. No updates from the club since Staveley left.

The majority of this side looks very tired. And no one on the bench to make a difference. 

no decent signings for 2 years, We seem to be back in the Ashley era. 

Some people deserve to be back in the Ashley era.

It’s insane. The emotions after a loss

Is every fanbase as sensitive as ours?

 

Ashley really did a number on us.

There's been quite a lot of communication from the club in fairness. 

 

We've had one or two things at the Stack. Brad Miller has done some on the record stuff. Silverstone gives quotes every so often.

 

Are people expecting weekly updates?

 

Weekly, no. Daily, yes.

[The College Dropout]

In other sports non coach management do a lot more talking and communicating. Football is bad for that.  

[Alberto2005]

Can we add a poll to see who thinks we'll make any kind of signing before the deadline.

Not sure it's worth it since probably about 90% will say no.

Perhaps we could just have a 24/7 livestream of each office? 

 

£14.99/month or £9.99 for Mags+ members

On the sales they all look fine in isolation, but the squad is really thin. I didn’t go into January thinking this is a squad that can lose 3 players without impact - it’s not like Chelsea where they have 6 teams worth. Theres barely any cover and absolutely no scope for rotation. It impacts on the pitch.

We’ve been told time and time again. Even with Howe’s comments after miggy left he said it was needed because of PSR. We know why no signings have been made because we’ve been told why all window. Some like yourself clearly need it spelling out some more P S R

Theres a day and half left. No links and been told all window signings were unlikely.

 

its say it’s unlikely 

[kingxlnc]

But it’s bordering on negligence how paper thin the squad is.

 

injury to Isak, Osula starts

injury to Tonali, Longstaff starts

injury to Murphy, Willock starts out of position

 

the drop off is huge and dangerous for our goals

But what is our alternative less negligent strategy, given the money we can't spend? The only one I can think of is to do like Fulham and Palace (et al) do and have two average strikers instead of one good one.

 

But I wouldn't swap Osula and Isak for Jimenez and Munoz in a million years. The drop off is smaller but the ceiling is much lower.

I know what you're saying but by then we could have a Cup final win and be in the Champions league. It'd be worth it don't you think? Next season we're starting all over again. City stronger, possibly Spurs. Man Utd too.

So how do you explain the 60/70 mil we where going to spend on  marc guehi where did that go ?????.

Something's not adding up here .

 Quite simply. We'd have to sell the equivalent or more in players to comply with PSR this coming June.

Honestly, we need to sign up a few free transfers to pad out the squad, David for example would be a great Wilson replacement and even to play alongside Isak. 

 

If we need to get rid of a 40-50m player I’d be willing to let Joelinton go and even Botman at a push. 
 

If we got a 90m plus offer for Gordon or Bruno potentially would let go but would rather not. 
 

I wouldn’t even mind a Barcelona/Bayern type of move for a purple (not Isak or Tonali) if it means we get 3-4 players in exchange, eg Christiansen, Raphina, Tel etc
 

There are decent players going for 25m fees, Tomori, Danso for example. Even Khusanov would have been around the same. 
 

We definitley need to use more loans - especially in an attacking sense as the talent of game changers is low on the bench. Look to Saudi or the bigger clubs. Tel on loan would be good. 
 

Look to the French league it’s worked for us in the past

I for one am staggered that our recruitment team haven't implemented your great ideas.

He's right though. Those players, Isak, Bruno, Tonali, are going to go eventually don't you think? If we can win a trophy, any trophy, before they go then that's the whole point surely. Let's tread water and keep within PSR while other clubs progress and win things. It's fkn nonsense.

I'll be worried for all three if we don't qualify for Europe

PSR is nonsense.
