NUFC Minor/Untrusted Transfer Rumours (Summer 2018)
Re: NUFC Minor/Untrusted Transfer Rumours (Summer 2018)
We can’t afford a top striker, it’s the most expensive position out there. Without getting into the Mitrovic/Rondon comparison the only thing everyone can agree on is that Mitrovic wouldn’t play next season, Rondon will.

Looking forward to when we play Fulham. Mitro scores before Perez draws us level, Mitro then sent off for wrestling Perez to the ground in instinctive celebration and our winner goes in off Rondon's arse.

I’m interested to see how he does. I’m not actually his biggest fan and don’t think he’s the target man everyone thinks he is but time will definitely tell. I’m sure they’ll be a constant comparison between his and Rondon’s stats throughout the season too.

Re: NUFC Minor/Untrusted Transfer Rumours (Summer 2018)
You seem to have a very focused scouting network In all seriousness, I'm not personally sure any of those would be the answer. Danny Ings' injury issues are almost as bad as Sturridges, and I just don't think Origi is that good. Plus have you seen the outrageous fees Liverpool are supposedly demanding for those players? Absurd and we wouldn't pay it.MitroMania wrote: ↑Sun Jul 29, 2018 1:25 pmDon't know how to feel about this Rondon link. As much as I trust Rafa, is this going to be a Kenedy/Dubravka positive impact or a Lazaar/Sels waste of time. Not overly excited by Rondon but maybe thats the kind of players we need instead of the old big name big fee cant back it up type we used to sign
I get that he doesn't fancy Mitro whatsoever but I would've thought we could've gone after someone a bit more prolific, Danny Ings would be a good addition possibly on loan with future price agreed. Muto I wouldn;t think is a starter for us, Sturridge would be interesting but don;t know if he can ever stay fit long enough. Origi was a nice link, thought he would fit us nicely with perez in behind but doesn't look like thats going anywhere.
Just hope like everyone else that we don't end up like last year having chances created and no one to put them away

I'd take a punt on Ings for £10m, but £20m is taking the piss.

Re: NUFC Minor/Untrusted Transfer Rumours (Summer 2018)
Yeah given his injury history, 20m is a bit much for Ings drop that by about 6-10m and it'd be tempting.
I myself like Rondon for reasons I've given many times he fits Rafa's style more then Mitro

I'll Hazard a guess
Re: NUFC Minor/Untrusted Transfer Rumours (Summer 2018)
Rondon is okay but it’s slightly worrying that our main striker next year will be the striker of the worst team in the league last year. That alone obviously doesn’t paint the full picture but it’s a bit of a red flag for me, given he’s not recognised as being a stand out player
Re: NUFC Minor/Untrusted Transfer Rumours (Summer 2018)
Ings can stay the f*** in Liverpool though, especially at £20m!
Re: NUFC Minor/Untrusted Transfer Rumours (Summer 2018)
Yeah I wouldn’t take Ings at any price, loan at best.

You're dreaming if you think Rafa will play two up top, even more so with Perez behind them.Ol' Dirty Bas Dost wrote: ↑Sun Jul 29, 2018 1:02 pmThis. I'd be interested to see a 352 with Muto and Rondon up top, Perez in behind and Shelvey and Diame behind that. Kenedy and Ritchie out wide and Schar Lascelles and Lejeune when he's fit working as a ball-playing back 3. Could be an exciting team to watch.Bodacious Benny wrote: ↑Sun Jul 29, 2018 12:54 pmI'm in the minority who thinks that he's a decent player and will do a good job.

I wonder if we'd ever experiment with a 4-3-3. Something like this:Colly wrote: ↑Sun Jul 29, 2018 3:23 pmYou're dreaming if you think Rafa will play two up top, even more so with Perez behind them.Ol' Dirty Bas Dost wrote: ↑Sun Jul 29, 2018 1:02 pm

That'd be good to see but would have very little on the bench in terms of attacking options if you start off like that. Pretty much just Perez. What we need to do is sign Giroud

Re: NUFC Minor/Untrusted Transfer Rumours (Summer 2018)
Perez, Ritchie, Atsu/Joselu would be cover in theory, but agreed it's still a bit light on centre forwards. Giroud would be lovely

Don't forget that we need to fit Hazard into that team too
