Transfer Rumours The Great Summer Splurge Transfer Window

Pretty good summary.

 

Howe doesn't want to use youth because of what happened at Bournemouth. He made a mental note never to rely of youth over experience.

I heard him basically say exactly that in the Simon Jordan interview.

 

Guys who is actually leading recruitment this summer?

 

In terms of scouting/selecting of player targets, or the commercial side of negotiating the deals & finances?

Or do you mean recruitment as in for a new CEO / DoF?

 

Yet we're linked with 19-22 year olds who look good because their clubs played them.

 

the government must at that point step in though surely? Isn’t there an ombudsman coming in?

 

I deal with them in business now and they are very tough and like you say there is a lot of red tape but they are fair and when they make a promise they usually keep it. I trust the Saudis.

 

Choosing to do nothing rather than employ a load of old has beens is a good thing in my eyes. Under Ashley we’d be hoovering up more crap than a chambermaid after a scat party.

 

I do hope so, a wave is one which stands out.

 

Trying to figure out who "a wave" is meant to be

 

All I will say is that "good things come to those who wait". Patience required.

 

Same.

 

I do as well.

One thing you can say about them - they keep their word.

 

After Mitchell left

I actually agree... We only want top players or just use the same old ****.

 

I put this in a response to Chris Waugh.

Chris, why don't you ask the obvious questions instead of the usual bland crap..

Here's some for you.:

How can a CEO search take 10 month's and counting?

Why have 2 Sporting Directors quit within a year?

What in hells name is going on with the stadium and new training ground? They keep getting kicked into the long grass.

Why do Saudi clubs continue to spend fortunes on NUFC competitors?

And the main one.

If NUFC have to sell Isak for around £140M do PIF realise the profit is the equivalent of what they gave to Cheksea for the CWC.

What is PIFs goal here?

 

I think we know the answer regarding PIF, but many are in denial and it's that the rules prevent PIF from doing what they intended, and they just can't be arsed with it. They have far bigger projects without all the hassle..

Essentially nufc is incredibly low down on the PIFs list of priorities...

 

RCB - 100% needed
CM - honestly think Longstaff was sold to free up space and time for Miley, only logical conclusion I can come up with unless they are bringing in an Elliot or McAtee type
CF - would be good to replace Wilson and based on the rumours we are trying to so let’s see what happens.

 

Sesko to Man United is the latest news.. Another one off the list.

Jesus I'm beginning to think we'll miss out on DCL.

 

So what exactly do you want him to say? Heads EH loses, tails EH doesn’t win.

 

It sound like something someone who's got more control and things aren't going particularly well I would say.

Howe all of a sudden looks like he's constipated, but when he joined he was all smiles.

Listen to what he said about Mitchell leaving? Around 0.38 He's basically admitting he's been doing this he hasn't had to do before... Not having a go, but it explains everything on recruitment this summer imo.
