NUFC Minor/Untrusted Transfer Rumours (Summer 2018)

[overseasTOON]

To be fair, Rafa needs to supply the blueprint, and if Ashley won't support it he should walk.

I agree. Ashley won't want to give his support to open ended costs.

[TBC]

He has though. He’s given presentations on his vision for the club and how they can be successful and still work within financial constraints, Ashley just doesn’t give a f***.

There is always the possibility that thier understanding of financial constraints don't match.

Rafa is presenting it as along term plan based on his apparent happiness to remain in situ for 10 years; Mike seems to propose a short term future where he's selling and out of the picture.

He won't front up costs for something where he'll see no financial reward given the opportunity to improve and it's benefits won't actually benefit him.

I know people will go wild but good business if he were to replace Mbemba. Obviously hope that the Mbemba money goes towards a quality striker and no.10.

Does anyone actually know anything about him? Couldn't get a game for Porto last season from what I read.

Don't know much about him, but to be fair Mbemba couldn't get games last season, so as a like for like it's a reserve defender coming in with another 6-8m towards our striker budget, well in theory anyways.

Interesting that if we signed him we'd be replacing Mbemba with the player Mbemba is presumably replacing at Porto.

He played 26 times for them last season and appeared to have a good season from a quick google. He was first choice up until he got injured which forced him to miss the end of the season and the world cup but he was still in the Mexican squad for it in the hope he would recover.

[Bruuuuuuuuce ()]

we're an embarrassment.

Wow free transfer

[bodacious benny]

Sounds like Welbeck could be on his way out of Arsenal for around £15m, I'm not his biggest fan and have concerns about his injury record but that's a good price. It is about £15m more than we have to spend tho.

(i) played for Sunderland on loan

Could happen then

Smart business for a 4th choice CB

It's just the rest of our (lack of) transfer activity that's s****

Yeah I've no real issue with that if it happens (not that I know anything about him). Seems pointless spending our limited funds on a player that will probably hardly play.

[bodacious benny]

Reports that Armstrong has been told that he can leave for £3m.

I think he'll be a solid signing for a lower half Championship club, but I sit on the side of the fence which thinks he's not going to make it in the PL. No shame in being a decent lower end Championship or League One player.

Get it done.

To be fair, Rafa needs to supply the blueprint, and if Ashley won't support it he should walk.

He's been pretty clear on what he wants, and how he wants to go about things.

We should keep him for a couple more seasons then.

[lassassinblanc]

Can't see Armstrong making it tbh not a PL player anyway
