NUFC Transfer Rumours

Given he regularly covers centre back, Hincapie would be a good option. Leverkusen aren't going to sell cheap though.

I think West Ham will take Tam and another player from them, meaning it’ll take RB Leipzig levels of transfer negotiation and a huge fee to get Hincapie. File under next summer.

If we could bring in Hall, we would have filled both fullback positions for the next ten years.

That’s true, I suspect we aren’t fibbing about FFP this time and getting hall will be beyond us. 
 

doing business with clubs in this league is a nightmare.

Think that's where we are at now like

No more burn/targett type of signings (no disrespect to either)

Just going to the top of our lists and will hold off if needs be

We likely don’t have the budget to bring in the players at the top of those lists.

Even if we had the money, I just can’t see Chelsea selling him to us.

That’s another factor as well, I reckon they would be for a daft fee. 50m +. 
 

One of the biggest issues is Chelsea’s warped sense of player values as we’ve seen with Gallagher, we laugh about the fact fees they both pay and demand but the knock on effects are real.

Hall would be an interesting one tactically given he's very much an attacking full back. If we persist with the three at the back in possession, we'll require him and Trippier to alternate dropping in or one of the midfielders to do do the same.

I wonder if we've earmarked any of the youngsters we've bought recently for the senior squad the first half of the season. I think we've brought in a couple of 18/19 year olds who you'd think could be on the cusp of seeing even a bit of first team squad action if the conditions were right.

What makes you think that?

 

If they thought that highly of him already they'd at least be keeping him as a backup. 

 

I think he's a big talent but hasn't played a ton and so it's hard to justify that sort of fee.

 

The other kid they have that was at Burnley playing left back is the one in that £50 million range, as he looked a class above last year for Kompany and he can also play left and right wing.

Maatsen is 21, Hall is 18, and like you say, Maatsen went on loan last year for playing time (and it’s now rumoured they want to do the same for Hall this year)- it’s be daft to think Hall would be over him in development terms at the moment. Hall hasn’t played a ton as he’s had senior internationals in his way, yet still managed to get 11 appearances last year.

Maatsen's 3 year older.

 

I don't understand what that has to do with what I said.

 

Maatsen is more proven, has shown a greater skill set and has only just turned 21 this year.
