NUFC Transfer Rumours

From a recent ESPN article:

 

I say this at the same time every year, but we always seem to forget it: Most January transfers don't matter.

 

There has rarely been a signing across the Big Five leagues that genuinely made a difference for an eventual title-winning team. More specifically, via analysis from the consultancy Twenty First Group: "Net transfer spend in January has just a 5% positive correlation with change in points per game, and that €20 million in net spending has delivered on average just a 0.03 increase in points per game in the big five leagues since 2015."

We're not title chasing (unless you're talking CL and cups :)) so what's the stats on below that? We saw what the 2022 and 2013 injections did for us, but conversely how it didn't ultimately help Villa last season.

The stats apply to all.

 

Villa last season is a good example of it working. January business likely saved their season; they just fell a little short of the CL.

Dayann Methalie might not happen this window due to an injury he has been managing - sounds like he would fit right in with our current defensive woes mind! Or it's a cover up and he is missing games in anticipation of a move in January...
