Holden McGroin 5377 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 There is definitely a player in Anderson but I’m not sure what his position is. He can play various positions which is handy. If we have to, I’d personally be looking to move Longstaff on this summer and let Miley and Anderson break through behind Tonali. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 37895 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Ah, so this is us doing what Chelsea, Forest and Villa are doing. I hadn't twigged that previously. Inflate the value of DCL and Minteh and we both clear our PSR losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSR is fucking wank though when we're having to put ourselves in a weaker footballing position to abide by the arbitrary spending rules. Theyve managed to ruin silly season with this boring shit 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMXXVIII 1179 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 I dunno why we're stopping where we are. The knicker wearer should be £100m and Minteh £120m. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13109 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 I do think that if we can get ridiculous money (£30 million plus) for Minteh, we’ll invest that money so well over the next 3 windows that we’ll not even care that we sold him. I’ve got full faith in the recruitment and squad building side of the club these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 2653 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 All of this because American ownership and old-money clubs have got together to restrict competition so they can maintain their position at the top of the tree and continue running footballs clubs for profit so they can skim off the top for themselves. Good ol' capitalism at work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 37895 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Sacrificed on the altar of PSR. Hopefully this clears our problem, allows us to keep Bruno and Isak, and we can build our commercial income (or work the new rules) enough to not find ourselves in this position again.

thebrokendoll 7519 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 we need an upgrade on almiron, right wing contributed next to fuck all last season. seems like we potentially already own the solution but decide to sell him. great idea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack 7416 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 While we undoubtedly could do with an upgrade at RW, I don’t get the fixation with it, seems all anyone talks about “we need a new RW” etc. last season we created/scored more goals than ever. For me, it’s the other end of the pitch that needs the priority investment, another right CB being #1 priority and better back up keeper, then striker depth then RW. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 6605 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 11 hours ago, ThatGinolaVolley said: Anderson was so unlucky to get injured last season, otherwise it would have been him (rather than Miley) getting all those first team games, and then we’d have a much better idea of his level. Seems a shame to consider letting a local lad go who could be a perfectly good squad player. But if that’s the sort of shit we have to do to survive the financial rules 🤷 He's not a similar player to Miley though. Anderson has always been wasteful whereas Miley protected possession well was defensively more present and showed a better range of passing without requiring space and time. We've seen enough of Anderson over the years. He'll definitely improve but I can't see him being at the level we want to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 32034 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Minteh is completely unproven in England and it’s almost pure profit. That doesn’t mean I’m happy about it but I can see the rationale. It also doesn’t mean we don’t subsequently flog Almiron to a Saudi team whilst getting a serious RW upgrade. I can’t say signing DCL makes a lot of sense like. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamTaylor5 701 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 It is interesting to see how frustrated we are with this sale considering that we don't know of he can make it in the Premier League. There is no guarantee that he would make it here and if he doesn't then the potential £30,000,000 would be amazing. We only got £23,000,000 for ASM and he was doing relatively well for us,mor had done, over a number of seasons. I know that we can see him as one for the future but I am still waiting for Anderson to show the level of promise that we were expecting. To be clear, it is not a criticism of Anderson but just an observation that sometimes it is worth the gamble to take the money and run. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t say signing DCL makes a lot of sense like. It makes sense only in the context of FFP/PSR both of which make little sense. DCL is a good player, if we can get him at a low price due to having a year left on his contract and a patchy injury record then it probably makes sense. Wilson is 5 years older. Despite their similar frames DCL and Isak are very different players that could potentially work ok together, though with our existing system would be used individually. Both Almiron and Wilson will be sold if there is any interest. It's ridiculous that last season out only two strikers were Wilson and Isak. Without Europe it's a little more palatable but still leaves us short if we only sell and replace Wilson. It's a shame really as I feel Wilson has done enough here to play out his time as an impact substitute and potential cup starter (when his body is able) but regulations outside of our control mean that we can't 'afford' to do this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 29107 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 That time we were after Francis Jeffers from Everton but lost our and got Bellamy instead, this seems a bit like getting Jeffers. In seriousness, if he stays fit I'd have confidence in this version of NUFC getting it right with bringing in DCL. I get the feeling he might be a bit of a confidence player and coming here after the toxicity of Goodison these last few years might see him be an absolute bargain as it could be a huge breath of fresh air, see A. Gordon who looked full of fight there with potential but not what he has become here. Disappointing that we could be letting a diamond away when it's in our hands but he could end up being this decades Andy Carroll, you just don't know? I'm guessing the club have worked it out better than us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He truly believes they hold the club back… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
