They already have more than enough money 2. Adherence to rules is not a primary concern for them It's curious how high a priority GK is for us. Dubravka definitely cost us in several games (he did have a couple of games where he was incredibly good also). Pope does have errors in him, and some deficiencies that he has been working on, are these moves to potentially drop him down to second choice? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonotl 2828 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Definitely seems like one for the future / cover for injury / and playing in cup games to give Pope a rest. Since the site has been on the blink in the past week, I've been on Twitter looking through the #NUFC tag on a few occasions (not recommended) and there seems to be a real level of stupidity there, with one particular highlight being an idiot calling for Howe to be fired because of our transfer dealings so far this window. For me, this seems like a good signing. What is he? 21 or 22? And already in and around the international squad with a full season of PL experience under his belt already. If things go well, he could conceivably be our keeper for the next 15 years. He appears to be comfortable with the ball at his feet, coming from the City system & playing under Kompany. So that seems crucial in that he is style of keeper we need. We could possibly have England's future GK, LB & RB in the squad now in the three youngsters we've signed. That's amazing business to get done so early in our development and it certainly continues to show a level of patience and future planning that holds us in good stead. I'm excited by what this signing represents and promises long-term and not so much by what it offers in the immediate or short term. And we're after medium- to long-term plans in the goalkeeping department as far as I'm concerned because Pope is a great keeper. Replacing him with better immediately would be prohibitively expensive in my opinion so much so that it simply isn't worth it to try and upgrade Pope when there are other way more important positions in the starting XI to address -- obviously RW being the most important. This transfer ticks all the boxes for me. On other transfers, I'm really hoping that Minteh doesn't get sold. And selling him to a rival PL club should be completely out of the question. He seems to have real potential. Of course, he may have been purchased with an eye for a future sale in mind, but if he's outperformed expectations, which you'd have to suggest he has done, then there's no reason to sell him in order to facilitate the purchase of a 100m player if he's barely a season or two off maybe being one himself (which appears at least possible at this stage). By the way, thank god, the site is fixed. I don't think I could take much more of the idiocy over on twitter. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 4650 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Thats fine. Isak is clear first choice and we're not going to spend significant money on his backup when there are parts of the first 11 that need investment. Assuming Hall has made LB his own towards the end of the season and will play more than he did then right wing is where the cash needs to go. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13590 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Ian Nacho feels like a signing that could go either way. Could be an inspired choice or he could contribute absolutely fuck all. Not sure there’s a chance he’s just “alright” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrossthepond 861 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Definitely get him signed and another forward as well, especially if we can do it on the cheap. Wilson is only fit for the knacker's yard. We've got to move him on this summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2311 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Douglas in the i has said that there could be another big name July suprise much like the Tonali signing, hopefully without his particular added suprise. So if Kelly and Trafford aren't exactly floating your boat then we might get some big name excitement yet. I'd imagine it will be a player for that right wing slot. So maybe a Chiesa or someone of that ilk. We have heard Bowen's name mentioned but that would be serious money, so I can't see it happening. I'd take Mbuemo for the right given he'd be a bit more realistic and cheaper than Bowen. They both of course have the added bonus of being able to play as a centre forward. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To bring one injury prone player in for another, or to even bring him in and relegate Wilson to third choice makes little sense either given they'd both be on massive wages and could easily both get crocked at the same time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
