NUFC Transfer Rumours


Recommended Posts

Solid window. 8/10 for me. Upgrades pretty much all round however I don’t think we’ve signed a transformational player but I’m also aware that players like Willock are a lot better than we usually remember.

 

We don’t know what our most effective first 11 is yet and probably won’t until next month at some stage.

Ratings:

 

Tonali: 10/10

OK so we don't know for sure that he will be a success but in terms of ambition and what we want our club to be, its an outstanding effort to sign him. He's also in a position we needed.

 

Barnes: 8/10

Was probably a 7 until I actually saw him play in our team and realised how effective he will be. As someone else said, he's the least "risk" and is solid value for money.

 

Livramento: 8/10

Slight risk given his injury and not necessarily a position which many of us would have deemed crucial but a potentially elite, english, right back can't be sniffed at.

 

Hall: 9/10

Pick of the bunch for me. He's only 18 but I'd bet that by the end of the season he's our first choice left back. He's got STAR written all over him. Rare that you see Chelsea fans fuming over losing a young player. He's also in a position we all highlighted.

 

Overall: 8.5/10

 

Still time to clear out some deadwood and I've marked down because I think an elite RW/RCB would have been chefs kiss.

 

As far as I'm concerned, I'm living in dreamland, so no complaints from me.

I think we signed 4 transformational players, might just take a bit of time,  just my opinion

Dunno why but i don't think we're finished, just have feeling we might bring in one more.

 

Once Bruno jumps ship we will have to :icon_salut:

 

But I do actually agree with you. Can see something happening in the last couple of days, but only if Fraser and Co can find an exit.

It’s going to be interesting with us signing players of age that everyone is saying that’s that position sorted for the next ten year. Will the same people cope with one or no signings per window in the very near future :lol:

Once we've got good players sorted at every position is when we can afford to start splurging nine-digit transfer fees on the Mbappes and Haalands of the world imo.

 

...My God, what am I even saying :lol: I can't believe I just typed those words out completely unironically.

Sorry to go wildly off topic, but I've finally given in to my irritation - why is that emoji saluting with its left hand?

 

Clearly because the emoji in question only has one arm. :icon_salut:

Haha! 
 

I mean the reality is you’re not in constant upgrading of the Ashley era players and you’re say moving on X player for 35m who wants first team football and bringing in replacement or upgrade for 50m+ - or it’s ok, we can get *Kvara* and we now have an elite *position*

We still need to continue the youth backfill but once that starts coming through a couple of players every year or so, then we are talking. They have done an incredible job being responsible and smart in changing out squad. Long may it continue.

A. Because the site was developed by a bunch of anti-establishment, non-conventional, wild men? 
 

B.The original coding was done in the mirror? 
 

C. It is a clever, albeit niche, double show of respect representing a US Navy Boatswain’s Mate piping you aboard with ? whilst saluting with ??

2023 Summer (Tonali, Barnes, Livramento, Hall, Minteh)

2022 Summer (Isak, Botman, Pope, Targett)

2022 Winter (Trippier, Wood, Guimaraes, Targett (loan), Burn)

2023 Winter (Gordon, Ashby, Kuol)

 

I don’t know how I’d assign a number to this window. I’d thought maybe I’d compare it to previous windows — even rank those windows, but I’m finding that equally impossible.
 

That first window for me has to be a 10; it addressed short term needs and kept us in the league. But then last summer gave us three long term starters. Maybe that’s what we have in the players bought this year. I’m really excited. I have no idea how good Tonali, Livramento, and Hall are or could be. (Though I do remember being impressed with both Livramento and Hall).

9.5 as well. I mean, what we’ve done with the squad given FFP and the crazy deals that have happened this summer we’ve worked miracles. However, if you went into the summer thinking which areas would we strengthen, you’d probably say RW and CDM. Arguably we haven’t improved our options for these positions at all, which depends on whether you see Tonali in that role, and of course Howe’s tactical plan for midfield.
