Kid Dynamite 7008 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 I assume he's coming in as Pope's long term successor. Dubravka undoubtedly cost us points in the second half of the season and I suspect Howe wants him gone 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can make £30-40mil pure profit then that means we have wiggle room to keep Bruno/Isak AND buy an Olise or similar. Can we sell Minteh and deliver Kuol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2311 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Leicester supposedly want Longstaff for 15 million, but that's according to the Mirror so take it for what you will. As much as I've criticised him I'd be holding out for 20m at least given the current state of transfer fees. But Longstaff seems like a good pure profit sacrifice when we have Tonali coming back, and Miley in the background, who can both do that cover ground and mopping up job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4721 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 I dont see the value in letting Longstaff go for so little tbh. A 26 year old, experienced PL midfielder shouldnt be going anywhere for so little money. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMXXVIII 1293 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 A lot of people aren't self-driven. Managers create outcomes, the likes of Longstaff are shite not being whipped and I'd take £20m in a heartbeat if I couldn't bullshit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 2961 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...
