NUFC Transfer Rumours

Posting this here because it's more of a general question really. Our general struggles in the market got me thinking

 

How do we think are we perceived by the majority of players with no ties to the club? Are we seen as a big-time project with huge potential, an elite coach, massive fanbase, great players etc? I think for the majority of our fans, that's how i'd categorize us, certainly until this summer. Signings of Isak, Tonali, Botman, Bruno and a few others surely back up this view.

 

Or are we just seen as number 7 or 8 on the list of clubs most players are looking to join when looking at the PL?

 

You're an up and coming talent with big potential and looking to move (Pedro, Ekitike etc). You say to your agent, I want to play for a top PL side. Here's my list, it's Liverpool, City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man Utd, Spurs in roughly that order. If I can't get one of those, i'll settle for Villa or Newcastle if they'll pay me the wages? Is that the limit of our appeal? 7 or 8 on a list?

Basically yeah I think so. Selling a promising exciting project to players and offering the same money is what's always turned heads before and that's pretty much gone now, players at least will doubt whether it can happen in the current climate re the rules.

Is Thiaw shite as well like? 

 

Couldn't nail down a regular spot in one of Milan's worst ever seasons. Wouldn't say he's shite as the entire side were dismal last season but it's certainly an underwhelming signing. That being said I've not accounted for him being Howe'd and being turned into a German captain.

Actually think I'd rather go for Chalobah than Thiaw again at this point. 

100% in terms of the player, the only thing that makes me hesitate is I don’t want to give a single penny to Chelsea. Especially for a player they couldn’t give a fuck about

I'm pretty happy with Thiaw for a good price - Eddie will make him less error prone and probably elevate him to the next level. Last I read they were looking for around 25M euros which is basically a Championship player now days.

The most anticlimactic transfer window ever, PSR has made the league boring, I'm actually not looking forward to it starting, I'm sitting watching SSN and Artetas smug fucking face

I still have hopes that Thiaw has the raw tools to be taken to another level, but he has not kicked on like it looked he would a couple of years ago. Would definitely feel to me like a player we'd need to hope could be moulded rather than a sure thing improvement to the back line.

We started targeting Mbeumo, Pedro/ekitike Trafford & scalvini

 

given the circumstances would people be happy with Ramsdale, Elanga, wissa/muniz & Thiaw? With potentially Isak out? 
 

and would they be happy with those players if they were our first choice?
