No matter how much people moan about it. Agreed, but in fairness, we all thought the same last summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting rid of Mitchell seemed to suggest we would all be on the same page and that this window would be done well. Now we’re struggling cause we don’t have someone in Mitchell’s role. Took 2 years to find a set piece coach that would be the right ‘fit’. 2 years. Thank fuck our team does the business on the pitch because the club is seemingly ran so poorly behind the scenes. We moved quickly with major bids for Joao Pedro and Ekitike, but those deals were hijacked by the likes of Chelsea and Liverpool. We’ve already brought in Elanga, and right wing was clearly our biggest priority this window. Yes, we all want more, but let’s not overlook the ambition the club has shown, both in the players we’ve targeted and the fees we’ve been willing to put on the table. I wouldn’t say we’ve been slow at all with Elanga, Joao Pedro or Ekitike. We landed one, and the other two chose clubs further along in their project. I’d give it a couple more weeks before judging this window as below expectations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarie4 Posted July 18, 2025 Share Posted July 18, 2025 The NUFC transfer rumors thread is back to its bedwetting best. Elanga kinda chilled things out, but we're all fired up again. Back to grilling the owners, board and transfer staff, hoping Amanda comes back, Mitchell was right, whats the scouts been doing and why aren't we going for these type of players, and all that jazz.

Yorkie Posted July 18, 2025 Share Posted July 18, 2025 Not remotely worried at this point. It's a shame we've not got more in for the start of pre-season though given there'll be much less time on the training pitch this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted July 18, 2025 Share Posted July 18, 2025 I would be perfectly happy with unfinished articles and younger less proven players, as long as we have Howe. He's proven to get the best out of players and improve many. The way we got Bruno, Botman, Hall, Livramento, Gordon, Isak etc. is because the cartel teams must not have believed or trusted they were at the level required and hesitated to rival our bids. But Howe has helped get the best out of all of them. Yes we paid big money for many of them, but all of their values have risen.
