Mbuemo is magic would take us to the next level imo. Works hard as well, would love him here 

 

 

 

Wasn’t working very hard the other night every time Tino beat him in a one on one. Looked lazy and uninterested I thought.

Yeah that's my one question mark over him, does he do the off the ball work well enough to fit into an Eddie Howe team? I haven't seen much of him apart from games against us, but he got caught a couple of times when he didn't track Tino last night

I just don't see Mbeumo being a player Eddie would want over someone who he can develop. Our scouts have clearly been watching him so he’s on the list.

£25m-£30m would get him I believe, and would be RW. Would be a complete opposite to Murphy, but his eye for a pass is exceptional.

 

If he was French etc. he’d be viewed so differently by our fans.

 

I’ll forever bang the English drum and the silly depths of talent in this country.

They want 30 for Ben Doak who is playing in the championship, what makes you think they would go that low for Elliott? Unless he doesn’t have long left on his contract?

I think he's becoming a little over rated. He's one of the better PL wide forwards but "magic"? Not in my books.

 

He's an end product player like Harvey Barnes. But his overall game is only ok. I think we need someone that can really contribute to build-up and create. Mbeumo does create but not much of a build up player.

Because Elliot is surplus to requirements under Slot.

Mbuemo would come in and immediately provide another source of goals and assists in the PL. He is well proven now, would be an incredibly low risk signing. That also means he will cost. But am sure Howe would love such a banker of a signing. 

 

Any younger player picked from a lesser league might have a higher ceiling but will have a much higher risk of flopping - so that is the trade off. They don’t all work out, no matter how good the scouting is.
 

Murphy has maybe made it more possible to take a bigger risk at RW as he has shown he can be dependable for what his game is.

maybe his race at Brentford is ran.  Murphy / Barnes are kick and rush players and good when it’s chaotic and we’re on the break. What I noticed on Wednesday was Mbeumo held the ball really well in the final third with his touch and quality. He may be out of form but his link up play with Wissa has been exceptional for ages

Totally agree! Also why I don’t get the Elanga at Toon bit like so many on here do. He’s the perfect fit at Nottingham with the perfect club/manager. Mbeumo is easily better but even then I’m not 100% sure on him for us. No question he has great end product. 
 

When you consider our ambitions and where we want and aim to go  then we need to evolve even more. Especially technically, creatively and in possession. This doesn’t mean that “intensity is our identity” is wrong by any means, and I also love it.  We need players that also improves us in general play, and that gives us more variety.

Barnes isn’t a ‘kick and rush’ player. Not in the slightest. Totally different type of player to Murphy, either way. 

[ExiledGeordie]

Definitely need a goal scoring RW and someone who is incisive in the final 3rd to help finish teams off/turn draws into wins.

We haven't drawn a game since the Liverpool 3-3.  We are winning a lot of games with the odd defeat.

[Bimpy474]

And, we've only drawn 5 league games out of 29 this season.

 

And, only drew 6 out of 38 last season.

 

Not sure the draws point works really, for last couple of seasons.

Ok I’ll rephrase that, we need a goal scoring winger who can help finish teams off when we’re on top 👍

For £60m it's a Spurs signing (Johnson, Richarlison, Solanke). High floor, low ceiling.

[The College Dropout]

We don't need any further G/A from RW. We need to maintain Murphy's output and increase but increase the overall quality and build-up. Murphy has 13 G/A. Without penalties, Mbeumo will be similar.

Winner, purely because we can fit his name instead of “aweem away” in The Lion Sleeps Tonight. Get that in your songbeeeewwwwwk.

[Bimpy474]

I think Mmbop would be ace for us, not exactly a consensus on that clearly here.

 

Whoever Eddie fancies to play down the right, be it Mmbop, Aramburu or whoever comes in, Eddie will improve them immensely.

Let's name our new ground 'The Jungle', just in case.

[Pilko]

I like Mbuemo, but just think there's bound to be better value for money out there when you look at the fees cited.

 

I wouldn't be complaining if we signed him as I think he'd do very well for us, but I also think it might hinder our spending power in other key areas (CB, GK for instance) if we drop the cited £50-£60m on him.

We need quality on the right wing not another work hard type like Murphy/ almiron. 

A game changer that can put teams to bed. 

We have a good mix on the left wing already so here's hoping we can find a unearthed gem or a quality addition.

Its Albuquerque for me

[Elliottman]

Really excited for the Summer, think its going to be mint. They've had pretty much 2 years to prep for it, Mitchel 12 months. Be amazed if we dont make a couple of top class signings.
