Vegetable 830 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 11 minutes ago, SomethingSomething said: What I dont get is how can we spend 200m on two midfielders while saying Sanchez is good enough as starting GK. We dont have any goal scoring power either but options are limited there to buy. Its just crazy how can we spend 800 or 900m and think Sanchez is good enough. Who said he is? Truth is, maybe club is sane enough to not scream "We urgently need no1 keeper ASAP and we are even more desperate than usual and ready to spend big" this time and just get the deal done when right opportunity comes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluepower777 36 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Why not use one or 2 of our many keepers as a backup to Sanchez, they have to play at some point in time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando 6,585 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 I know some people mentioned about selling Ian Maatsen, but I have a problem. If Chilwell gets injured we are stuck with Cucu. I much rather keep Ian at this time since we don't have a good backup like we do for James with Gusto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maatsen should absolutely be extended and kept. 2 minutes ago, DDA said: Why is everyone hating on Sanchez. He is a decent gk. Yeah, I don’t get it either. With our new look midfield and a more aggressive, pressing style the goalkeeper should be under much pressure most games. So Sanchez should be more than good enough as our #1 this season. We just played against one of the most lethal attacks in all of football with Gallagher as the DM and a defense that have literally never played a game together before and Sanchez didn’t have to sweat much after the opening 25 minutes. He had a couple of sloppy passes but that’s to be expected. He showed immediately in that first match with some catches of corners what he gives us that Kepa didn’t.

After the preseason he’s just had I think Poch would request he’s kept if the board ask. If the club can find a destination for Cucu I would think Poch would rather let him leave than Ian. Maatsen for me has “instant regret” written all over him if we were to sell him. Has absolutely everything you want in a modern fullback. If he were to go to a smaller PL club and replicate the season he had last year with Burnley you’d have City or one of the other Big 6 offering £50-60m for him. The club should be currently shopping Cucu around all of Europe right now. Preferably a club that we aren’t directly competing with like Newcastle.

nyikolajevics 2,700 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Hall on the left, Livramento on the right in Newcastle.. Would be bit ridiculous if they thrived in the CL while we trying to find our success with Cucurella and Gusto. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluepower777 36 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Hall is our best youth player, we shouldn't have sent him on loan, Maatsen, Cucurella is nowhere near him in ability or technic. Anyway he could have been a great centre midfielder as well. Who the hell is doing these decisions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could work if we have a buy-back clause at £50 million or something like thst, which can be exercised after 18 months? Let Eddie Howe (who I like) do the development of the player and then we can get a finished article and NUFC make a profit, everyone wins. Or he flops and we have £30mill. We still win.
