Expand Aye, we’ve also just spent £7m - £10m on an 18 year old who we’ve loaned out immediately, which kind of seems weird with the amount of players we need and the quoted £75m (I know it wasn’t Edwards that said that amount btw). Seems like a bit of smoke and mirrors by our lot tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7998 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 His highlight reel makes him look like a more skilful Joelinton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2317 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) Not that YouTube videos are all that reliable, but that Nmecha looks decent for 15m, if indeed there's any truth in chicken nonces reporting. As Kid was saying he's reminiscent of Big Joe in his all action style and physicality. He's tenacious in the tackle, has great close control, and a nice range of passing, so while he's ostensibly an 8 he could perhaps be used as a 6 in our team. It would make sense that we were after him if Howe did plan on using him in a more defensive position, otherwise he's very similar, as has already been said, to Joelinton, and Willock to a certain extent. I think I read somewhere that Nmecha might be seen as a cheaper alternative to Manu Kone, who's been heavily linked to Liverpool.

Holden McGroin 8103 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 If Mbappe is available this summer then Madrid will be in for him and Kane will be stuck at Spurs for the rest of his life.

Andrew 5597 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Ruben Neves might be back on the market as Barca have no money and are trying to do a player swap that Wolves dont want. For the apparent fee we should be all over that if hes available. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 10787 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Judging by the huge uproar in the German media about Nmecha’s homophobia the player would certainly appeal to our owners if his views weren’t down to the wrong religion… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
