NUFC Transfer Rumours

[kingxlnc]

I think we have the raw materials but just need the sprinkling of stardust all top title challenging teams need. 

 

If we signed two or three world class players next year that would be enough.

The issue with this view is that it places Woltemade as the creator and the wingers as the beneficiaries when for the most part it needs to be the other way round. 

 

The question is how do we get Woltemade scoring more goals? 

 

Alot of his goal from intricate one touch passing in and around the box, which is a difficult skill that not all players have in their locker and I think Murphy and Elanga dont quite fit that bill as more traditional wingers, although Im not saying Elanga isnt capable of that, just that I dont think its his strength. 

 

Gordon and especially Barnes certainly have it.

I'm not sure Gordon does have the intricate interplay. From what I saw of Woltemade in Germany it wasn't that sort of interplay by others as much as him laying off for them or him on his own. Also you have to have more to your game than that, think Kane and the variety of goals and chances he gets.

Then we might need another LW as well then. 

 

But in all seriousness, Murphy still doesnt fit the bill so one we might look to upgrade in pursuit of getting the best out of Big Nick

Murphy would do well with Wissa you'd think but if the plan is to play Woltemade and Wissa then its unlikely to be 433...... which Eddie has alluded to a few times ie he said he wanted to play Isak and Ekitike. 

 

Fwiw I don't think Eddie has a final ideal as in a best XI in general but a best XI for each individual game and thats what we are working towards.

We were loosely linked with Acheampong last season weren't we? Would love him like, though feel like he's getting enough minutes where Chelsea will want to keep him or another club could get him 

 

Semenyo is going to have a season like Mbeumo last season, 20+ prem goals and everyone will be wanting him. Though seen he has a 5 year deal remaining. Wonder if he has a release clause 

[Nine]

The Semenyo ship has sailed for us now, sadly enough I think he goes to Liverpool next summer.

[Whitley mag]

Even despite the investment in the summer huge future proofing still required. We have 2 ageing CB’s and Botman’s contract is running down.

 

We need our future goalkeeper, another fullback preferably on the right, attacking midfielder, and a young striker with pace. Bruno’s not getting younger either, to be able to rotate him another technical midfielder would be massive for us.

 

I still think both wide forward positions will need looking at again, how long do we rely on Barnes,Murphy and is Elanga the answer?

 

Hopefully, some clever investment means not all these signings need to be 50 million plus players.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up looking at younger CBs to back up to Botman and Thiaw as first choices.

Man City if they had any common sense would be swooping to seal Iraola and Semenyo for next summer. 
 

Perfect manager for them post Pep, and a much needed goal outlet from wide.  

[BergenMagpie]

Feels like our squad is finally in a great state. We just need to replace players as they get old/sold + pick up wonderkids

[joeyt]

There'll be a lot of competition for him but do you reckon we'd go back in Guehi in the summer on a free?

 

Can't see him picking us over other clubs he's being linked with but he seemed open to it last summer so might be worth a try

I reckon he'll go abroad tbh.

Well get blown out the water for anything like that vs likes of Liverpool, be 100k more a week elsewhere for example.

[joeyt]

Break our wage structure for a 25 year old England international on a free?

Then given Bruno the same, plus ruffling feathers around the camp.

 

I can’t see it.

[joeyt]

I don't think we will either but we've got to break it at some point to keep our best players

If Thiaw continues like he has started I would suspect any CB signing would be on the younger side and probably less established.

[midds]

Guehi will sign for those cunts for about 11m in January. Parish will dutifully bend the knee and follow his orders like the subservient, spineless little cunt he is

We have Thiaw now.

[Optimistic Nut]

Think the only way we'd have a chance to get him is if the Botman rumours are true and he joins Liverpool. But we've seen this summer how that story goes and he'd probably go to Liverpool as well. 

[Sibierski]

Real Madrid or Man City would be my bets now for Guehi. Feels Liverpool have missed the boat on him, similar to us previously. Very rarely do sides target a player so heavily one summer (publicly miss out), then get them the next summer.

Botman to Liverpool rumours ffs? I hadn’t heard that

It was the equivalent of nufc blog for the dippers suggesting that they had a shortlist of players and he was at the top. A few twitter folk started posting about it.

 

It’s nothing more than that for now. If their scummy club were behind it, it’s more likely to try and unsettle him while his contract is up in the air. Or could be agent games to add pressure.
