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 36617 Posted June 23, 2024 Share Posted June 23, 2024 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 1172 Posted June 23, 2024 Share Posted June 23, 2024 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 36393 Posted June 23, 2024 Share Posted June 23, 2024 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...

Kid Dynamite 7592 Posted June 23, 2024 Share Posted June 23, 2024 IMO - Wilson out for a similar fee to DCL in makes sense. DCL is younger and had a largely injury free season last year - If selling Minteh means we can keep Isak and Bruno it's a no brainer. I hope we have a buy back clause though - We are obviously after another CB. Don't know too much about Kilman but worry about his quality if he can't get ahead of Dunk in the England team.

I guess the one justified question is, does it make sense to sell our bright young RW when that's potentially the one area we need to strengthen most? I guess the rationale would be that's an instant £20-30mil in the bank, where's signing an Olise type player would probably cost £8mil a season spread over 5 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 49633 Posted June 23, 2024 Share Posted June 23, 2024 We wouldn't be doing this if we weren't in a hole on PSR. I just hope the rules get sorted out cos having clubs with no financial concerns do this hokey-cokey every year to meet an arbitrary figure is ludicrous. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an ideal world we’d keep him but it’s pure profit on a player that’s never even played for us. It’s the new PSR world we live in in afraid.

Miggy contributed three goals and one assist over the whole of last season, Murphy is decent but not top class. RW is the one area that we haven’t improved since the takeover and is well overdue an upgrade. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
