NUFC Transfer Rumours

Because it was the start of the season, a bigger club came on for him and there is an obligation to make it permanent, I believe? 
 

I suppose if there was an obligation, they might consider letting Ramsdale leave. But that would still leave them short with no solid keeper option for a title challenge and the CL for half a season. They flogged Turner to Forest. So not even sure who their 3rd choice is. 
 

Possibly reading too much into it. But I get the impression Arteta and Arsenal absolutely despise us  and see us as a threat to the top 4 status quo. So I think they’d be even more reluctant if it were us trying to do such a deal.  

 

No there's only an option.

 

His contract was running out though so he extended it by 1-year and went on loan with this option.

 

Mikel Arteta seems to copy everything Pep does. So I assume he's adopted the "no sad faces" approach to transfers and if Ramsdale wants to leave, they will let him leave.

 

I'm not against Ramsdale on loan. But again, I would see what Dubravka could do.

Agree, I doubt very much we'll be in for a replacement keeper when we still have Dubravka to call on. He's been a very good keeper for us down the years, and Karius is there as back up.

 

I do like Ramsdale, just not sure he's enough of an upgrade for us to spend precious resources on him when he might not even improve us. I think a striker or midfielder will be more of a priority.

If he kicks up a stink at Arsenal, Euros squad place on the line - they would let him go out on loan which is good for us. We won't be interested in a permanent transfer.

Osimhen?

 

That would always be the dream.

 

Heavily linked with money-no-object Chelsea though.

Player of the year in Italy (Players player?) and looks like one of the few individuals who would immediately push us up a level. 

[AJ9]

The priorities should be a forward who can pay on the right, and a centre back. Beyond that I think we could do with another CF, Keeper and if there is a deal to be done on an elite level midfielder then do it, otherwise we stick with what we have in the middle and keep Miley around.

To replace Isak as first choice striker?

Id like to see isak go out wide left Thierry Henry style, Osimhen through the middle and Gordon wide right

 

Now thats a front 3

[Fezzle]

people are going to be hugely disappointed this January reading some of this.

RW is the only priority for me. 
We dont need another midfielder. We have Longstaff, Willock, Anderson, Tonali coming back along with the 3 we have playing now. That is 7 "purples" for 3 spots. 
Even Burn can cover CB, and with Botman coming back, Lascelles is more than capable backup.

RW, followed closely by a young forward. We weren't great with Gordon in the lone striker.

Too bad Leverkusen won’t let him go for 60m. 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I don't think Anderson and Longstaff are purples, neither is Miley. They've done a good job though. 

 

PS Can we please stop saying purples

We absolutely need a new elite midfielder we simply cannot win a game of football when Bruno isnt playing

Might do if we ask nicely?

[Ikon]

Wirtz would probably be around 100m euros. My dream delusional signing. Can only see him going to Bayern M, Man City or Real Madrid. Maybe Liverpool.

Didnt Rob get shown up to tell a few porkies last window? 

[Kid Icarus]

He had a good run, not sure on his track record now, but he let the tiniest bit of attention go to his head like.

Think he got one wrong last window or one before and a few on here called him a scumbag, a fraud and a bluffer.

Just to clarify I don’t think anyone called him a scumbag or a bluffer.

Don't get the Wirtz links. Plays at 10, small, right footed.. doesn't fit neatly into our system from what I've seen of him.

[joeyt]

Everybody Wirtz

He hot a few that came off and a few that didn't, thing is even the o e that didn't, he could've been right only for those deals to fall late on for whatever reason.

 

It's always interesting as an outsider to hear players at the end of their careers saying stuff like " I nearly signed for Team Y, everything was agreed but the Mrs didn't fancy it" type stuff.
