NUFC Transfer Rumours

[Jesse Pinkman]

Why is Elanga suddenly getting touted? We already have a better RW in Murphy. 
 

We need to buy better than Murphy. Neither getting in the England squad anytime soon.

It's canny when the kick it and run really fast into the net though.

Forest would have bitten our arm off if we’d actually bid £50m for Elanga last summer I reckon

Be difficult for Elanga

We need to buy better then Murphy. 

This post sums it up quite nicely I think. No one would have had this opinion on Murphy before Howe got his hands on him.

First off, I understand Eddie Improves 99% of players through the door. 

 

But for any player costing 50m, I'd prefer them to be closer to the finished product, over needing Howe to drag them up to the standard of a 50m player. 

 

 

 

 

Howe turns £40-50m players into £80-100m players

[TheBrownBottle]

I’ve never seen an NUFC manager get close to Howe’s success rate for signings, so I do find it odd the criticism of players who we’ve been linked to (if Howe wants them)

 

The bit that’s interesting to me is to see if the players he signs are suggestive of a change in the style of play.  I’d like to see us evolve a little next season - someone who can unlock defences would be indicative of that

Hard to do when defenders defend their own box though. He’ll be useful against Man City and Liverpool.

Is Elanga available? I don’t think Forest will need or want to sell and the money they’ll ask for will be far too much

Seems unlikely to me, and I’m sure we normally shit bricks when Arsenal fans talk like this about Isak

I still hate the words..."small pool of players" from last summer window.

 

 

Not surprised. The small pool of players quickly turns into a dried up puddle within 10 days once cartel clubs step in and then we are left looking around to see if there's owt else.

I like Elanga, think he'd do well here

Like any non-cartel club they’ll need to sell a “crown jewel” eventually. If it’s not MGW this year it’ll be someone else.

Day two and I've had to put new sheets on. It can't go on like this, can it?

[ponsaelius]

A winger who is completely two footed and rapid will be effective in all kinds of games. The fee he'd cost would be overpriced but I have absolutely no doubt Elanga would be class under Howe.

In any case we’ll probably get someone like Buonnotte from Brighton. Which is fine too.

This old chestnut. No one is saying you're not allowed an opinion or debate, I'm saying the opinion being in opposition to Howe's should give everyone pause for thought.

 

All of us have been made to look daft by Howe - on Joelinton, on Gordon, on Miggy, on Murphy, even arguably on Wood. His ability to spot a player and get the best out of them is unbelievable. Yet for some reason some people don't think there's an obvious lesson to learn there.I found it baffling last year, I find it even more baffling now after the season he's just squeezed out of Jacob Murphy. I don't know what it's going to take.

 

 

 

 

 

Can't really argue with this tbh. I quite like Elanga as it happens, he's got pace and an eye for goal. I could definitely see him being a Howe player.

 

My only gripe would be we should be buying him at £15m last season, not for £50m once he's had some marginal success in the Premier.

He's a Brighton player.

What's this obsession with wanting to sign bang average players?

 

Half the forum want a 38 year old as back up to Isak, and the other half want a player on loan at Leicester from Brighton.

Don't think it's the forum wanting to sign them. These are the names that Howe seems to be linked with.
