So another transfer deadline day is here and as per usual at NUFC it is all about out going transfers.
Today see the news that Daivde Santon is heading home to Inter Milan on loan, with a view to a permanent more in the summer.
Santon arrived with a big reputation after being handed a debut at Inter at 18 by Jose Mourinho. He went on to be labelled 'The new Paolo Maldini' - to be honest he go no where near that standard and is nothing but a decent premiership left back. Of course he young and could develop but in all honestly he departure is not real loss to NUFC.
Personally I actually prefer Massadio Haidara at left back yet Santons departure leaves a lack of first team defenders in the squad - one or two injuries and we are in trouble. To be facing with second half of the season with only: Colo, Willo, Dummett, Haidara, and Janmatt is very worrying.
I am fine with Santon leaving, but only if a replacement is brought in. I am posting this article at 3.50 GMT and here are zero signs any signings will be made today. Santon out and a replacement signed is a piece of business I can understand and approve. But this is NUFC I fully expect to hear the "Closed for business" statement made via Skysports any minute now.
On the bright side Moussa Sissoko remains a NUFC player....for now.
