How can you even guarantee game time? What if he is shit , do they still have to start him as in is it in his contract if fit he plays? Can they sub him?
Just read nusa deal could be a twist after all and coming to us. Source: romano newsnow.
Good point and we need somebody now.
We never bid. We made an approach then no follow up. I said in my opinion this transfer was dead days ago. I think this transfer seen as one of opportunity if available for the right price it may be worth the punt. Even though Alasdair Gold is not the most reliable he was saying after the Dragusan deal that any more transfers would be transfers of opportunity unless we sold Højbjerg then we would replace him.
Exactly. €30 million on him is an absolutely huge risk. It’s too much money for him and we obviously thought the same. I suspect POK is right and this didn’t go any further than that initial meeting with paratici last year.
Keep that and put it towards someone who is actually going to contribute next season. A guaranteed goal scorer. Not a nusa or johnson but someone who is proven to deliver goals and assists.
Wagner said he broke a bone in his hand against Leeds and will likely miss next 2 games.
If he is good he won’t be at Brentford long , levy playing the long game here , if he is shit bullet dodged , if he is good we take him end of next season when the cunts get relegated!
That’s not what POK says at all. If anything it’s the opposite. We didn’t go for him because we thought him not ready. And I agree btw, he’s on the bench for a team in the Belgian league.
Good shout that rowe.
Ange spoke to him and liked

Was thinking about him as well
Never see him play but, from his highlight reels, Nusa looks genuinely skilled against his opposition— as opposed to a number of reels that I’ve seen where prospects look entirely average. So, in that sense, I’m disappointed.
Given that Chelsea, Newcastle and us were interested and at least one of those clubs could have (and probably would have) matched Brenford’s financial terms, this is obviously about playing time assurances in order to develop. Perhaps, we could have ‘guaranteed’ him a decent loan but obviously not playing time with Son (and probably others) ahead of him.
The other thing to note is that a ‘bidding war’ is only possible if the player agrees to allow it. At the end of the day, he controls his destination and if he refuses to go to a higher bidder then there’s nothing the seller can do other than refuse him the move based on the fact that his preferred club aren’t paying market value. As fans, we out a lot of stock into the the prestige and glamour associated with our club (and others) but to an 18 year old looking to develop, it seems as if the club’s name was less important. Nusa clearly wasn’t holding out for Tottenham.
