NUFC Transfer Rumours

[1881]

The most important aspect of the Brighton approach (according to their CEO) is that they make sure they already have a replacement at the club (who may have been signed a long time in advance) BEFORE they sell one of their star players so they are always signing players in advance such as the Nigerian lad.

 

if you wait until you have sold your star player then other clubs will know that you have a lot of money and also are under pressure to get a replacement in, inevitably resulting in them pushing the price up. You may also end up with a player a long way down your list of replacements or with no-one at all.

 

However the true replacement for Tonali might be someone at the club already.

Could Tonali's central midfield replacement be Fabian Schar?

Think we might see a lot of Bruno/Miley/Ramsey next season as the 3 starters

Player sales will generate money for reinvestment

 

Well blow me down. 

 

That's some top notch insight.

Agreed. That article reads a lot like how Ashworth’s vision for how he wanted us to operate following BHA’s model only at a (hopefully eventually) higher level.. There’s a lot of talent to be found in other leagues and in other big clubs’ academies. The trick is to get them a few years earlier than when they attract the interest of the biggest clubs, and let Howe & co develop them as they have done with Hall and Isak for example. I’m all for it tbh, same as investing big in our own academy setup. Ultimately I’d rather see us be successful eventually by players who have developed in house than quickly by throwing billions around. Not that the latter is even an option, but it we manage to do it the hard way it will be all the more fulfilling and sustainable in the end.

This is a lot of what Real Madrid have been doing successfully for ages.
