NUFC Transfer Rumours

I don’t think we should be spending around the £30m mark on someone who’s gonna be second choice to Isak and at the end of their career. I’d much rather we went for someone like DCL on a free then spent Ekitike type money on someone who’s going vastly improve the first team. 

He’s 28 man. I didn’t realise folk were retiring at 30 these days.

I still think there’s merit in thinking we’ve played Liverpool here, to be honest. I’ve said consistently that the Ekitike link didn’t seem to make sense, and coupled with the agent I mentioned a couple of days ago mentioning that he thought we were trying to take Isak off the table, it makes sense to me.


Hey, maybe we’ve been the ones to leak the Ekitike story to Romano etc, do a bit of negotiating, because we know that Liverpool wanted him or Isak (and are probably the only team who can afford Isak right now), and we wanted to force their hand and take them out of equation? Maybe we’re smarter than we’re given credit for.

 

 

What makes me think there might be some merit to this, is how expensive the deal for Ekitike was starting to look, as Frankfurt were insisting on paying the full release clause.

Imagine if we signed Wissa and they told Manure to fuck off then, that would make my window honestly haha!

That's an interesting wrinkle at the end there, regarding payment terms.

 

Think our £30-£35 million valuation is spot on too, and if we pay most or all of it upfront, maybe we pull that off.

I’d be chuffed with Wissa. Not blow the beans ecstatic like I’d have been with Ekitike but he’s a guy that knows the PL and can support or deputise for Isak when we’re in Euro/PL/cup rotation.

Worth paying about £5m more than we think he’s worth to shaft Man Utd’s Mbeumo deal and cause an absolute meltdown.

Nah, they are barely relevant at this stage. We need to focus on ourselves.
