NUFC Transfer Rumours

Yeah, on sales:

 

£15m for Longstaff, £6m for Targett, nominal fee for Tripps. Any more would have to be a bigger sale - someone like a Barnes, Willock or, dread to say it, a purple.

Who is paying 6 million pounds for Matt Targett?

Keep:

 

Isak, Gordon, Bruno, Tonali, Hall, Tino, Botman, Joelinton, Miley.

 

Not worth selling (hold other value to us beyond the few million we might get):

 

Trippier, Schar, Krafth, Dubravka/Pope, Burn.

 

Saleable assets: Murphy (won't happen), Willock, Longstaff, Barnes, Targett, Greek fella.

 

Release: Wilson, Lascelles, Gillespie? Ruddy? 

 

 

The above is how I see it. With that in mind and with PSR to be considered, we have to entertain offers for the "saleable" players IMO.

 

Murphy is like the club mascot and there's zero chance he leaves IMO. 

 

Longstaff I could see 20m to Everton or handful of other clubs.

 

Barnes has held his value despite not playing too much. He'd be a top player for anyone and he'd be valuable to us in Europe, id want north of 30m before entertaining his exit.

 

Willock is somewhere in between Barnes and Longstaff. His injury record let's him down. If we could get 25m, I think we'd do a deal. Brentford, West Ham, Brighton, somewhere like that.

 

Targett, be lucky to get anything back but his days are numbered.

At this stage Trippier needs convinced to see out his days here as a player/coach. He might believe he could start for someone else, but I suspect Howe will give him the puppy dog eyes to stay. It's up to the player essentially.

 

Trippier is nailed on for management. If he had any sense at all he would ask to be part of Howes back room team. No better place to learn his trade and start building his coaching portfolio.

I see that Bournemouth are currently favourites to sign Liverpools Irish goalie who's name I can't spell. He's brilliant though and we should be trying to sign him. 

I'm not crazy about him. Hoping there is someone more talented out there for us

Of all the wingers we’ve been linked with Im not sure who I’d like the most. I think Akliouche is the one I like the most.  Could be too pricey though, especially with PSG probably involved. 
 

Could also be one out of the blue obviously.

Obviously I wouldn't be disappointed with any of the names mentioned but I'd be surprised if we brought Mitchell in then just went for players that anyone with a reasonable interest in PL football could identify. 

 

Obviously there's more to his job than just identifying targets but if we're just going to drop £50m on Huijsen and the same on Mbeumo then why him? I'd assumed his remit was to look for Huijsen and Mbeumo type players before they became household names?

Agreed, there are plenty more Huijsens in the sea. We need to stop being lazy and beta, picking them up for exorbitant prices a year after other clubs made their move.

I’d say that’s fair. His amortised value as at the summer is £5m so anything above that and we don’t book a loss.

 

Get five and that's room for a £25m player.

 

We'd lose the amortisation and wages so can replace them for no impact. The need to make a profit on sales is slightly overplayed, it's not making a loss that's important for refreshing the squad. Profits allow for more expensive players to be bought so it comes down to (originally) cheaper players - try to make a profit, (originally) more expensive players don't make a loss.

 

A tad simplified but that's the minimum strategy for sales
