Likewise the financial difference between CL and the others is ginormous. With a realistic chance of CL don’t you go for it? I dunno. I’m Raw agter a defeat. It is, but that’s been the approach thus far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

janpawel Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 16 minutes ago, The College Dropout said: While I agree with the first paragraph being the strategy we are following - I don’t get it. What’s the point of keeping the band together one more season and then not going for it? I’ve been more keen to see what we do off the pitch than on it. Because it doesn’t quite make sense to me. Me? I’d sign someone now - and sell Joelinton by June to Saudi to make it work. Or do some creative to get us revenue. If we follow the strategy I think we are. There’s only 1 player we could sell that would guarantee rebuild money. The others are less certain to get north of £80m. I don’t know how much headspace getting rid of the dead wood gets us and half of those will need replacing. I just suggested this in the Joelinton thread and came in here to see this.. Definitely in agreement Though I wonder who'd we replace with as Longstaff / Willock are poor but we wouldn't want to break the bank when RW, CB, keeper etc are urgent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imploding is the NUFC way, but we can hope. Honestly, it’s actually nice to be having these conversations. If we win the league cup - the project has succeeded imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Displayname Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 (edited) Inexcuseable not to strenghten the squad now that we were in such a good position for CL. We could have always made some sales in the summer before the ending of the accounting period like last year. The difference cant have been that big considering the cost would just have been half a year of contract cost and 1/10 of the transfer fee in amortization of any potential signing. I dont think we are going to have a choice other than selling one of the purples this summer. Our squad other than the first XI may be one of the worst ones in the PL.

Skeletor Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 (edited) Its hard to pass another transfer window with no significant squad improvements and not be asking questions of the guy whose job that is. Edited February 1 by Skeletor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either the money is there or we were going to sell someone. not signing a first team player for 3 windows is not going to take us forward.

Sorry, you think the best approach going forward would be to put us in the same position as last year where we were desperately trying to fire sale our players before 30 June?

I’m glad you’re not in charge. When we are/were in a fantastic position to challenge for CL then yes. A £50m offensive signing could have meant the difference and we would only have to make an extra profit of around £10m in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
