No, not at all like what you've just said. De Jong was a Captain of a Champions League / Dutch title winning side. Came in with immense pedigree, proved to be a vice captain. Was hurt, by all accounts stuck around Newcastle and was involved as much as he could physically be. And has been back amongst the lot. I think that disruption is all gone. Colo is on borrowed time.

sick of this like, is it because he seems like a nice guy? Think it had more to do with him being Ajax captain, and a strong character. based on.... Ajax winning the Eredivisie 4 times in a row... And then not winning it the season after he left. Didn't he barely play the season before leaving Ajax due to his first collapsed lung? EDIT: 19 times, 7 goals. It's been said a ton that he's extremely vocal on the pitch and in dressing room (at his time in Ajax). He'd constantly be talking to De Boer about his thoughts and ideas and opinions on a certain match. He also is a big game player, was a man who showed up to be counted in the CL when he tortured City. I'd be happy with either him, Janmaat or Wijnaldum. It doesn't necessarly need to be a guy who's done well in the shirt for us so far - it needs to be a real leader of these guys, one who isn't going to hide when the going gets tough, who will demand 100% every match and hold every player accountable -- even the manager and staff. I see De Jong as that guy for us, I see Janmaat, and I can imagine Wijnaldum is the same.

Yet at Marseille he seems desperate to prove himself? Didn't he not want to join Lille due to Rene Girard leaving? Which is the only reason why he was planning on going?

I'm basically with this for the time being but I'd have Perez over Cabella. And Cisse over Mitrovic until we sign him and let them fight it out for the main man.

No De Jong. Lineup is moot.

that is 100% our exact template too. ffs

You want to flog de Mouss?

Has Narsingh been linked with anyone? Actually a huge fan of his. Love his pace. Not really. General consensus over here is he hasn't got what it takes. Ah, okay. Seems a pacy winger who's now pushing on the national team ranks. That's all. Would far like him in our squad as a reserve winger over the shit we have!

lush work, David

Genuinely laughing at the fact that Mitrovic's brother went in his place to check the place out, take some pics of himself all over the place and instagram it or whatever

I woke up this morning thinking he just needs to be named Captain or Vice Captain and let him be the face of this club.

Need men on the pitch to lead, be lead, and perform. Rise to the occasion and be real player. Think we've got a few of those to be honest, and they've had it coached out of them. Siem, Daryl and Gini all have that type-a personality and I like to think a few others do as well.

http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,93481.msg5037205.html#msg5037205 This I was told when chatting to a member of the first team squad. Suggested that both MYM and Gouffran were two peas out the same pod when it came to the description I used. Funnily I slated Pardew and was told in his opinion he was a 'brilliant' coach. That the players loved him. Like what the fuck does that still men? "freak and weirdo"

We should be looking at Luciano Narsingh as well, fucking rapid RW.

anyone ever expand on that?

Regarding the captaincy: Give to De Jong, Janmaat or Wijnaldum. Make one of them the vice captain. I'm thinking Siem is going to be named the captain, just my hunch or guess. Seems always willing to speak up in interviews and such. Regarding everything else, I'm actually looking forward to things - esp if we bring in Mitrovic and sign a CB. If we end up getting rid of Cabella for a winger then I am fine with that too. McClaren is saying all the right things, I hope the club back him and get in players who are able to start immediately.

Genuinely would love to know the origin of the weirdo MYM thing

it was the hands thrown up fall over that did it for me

:lol::lol::lol:

1 fucking penalty ffs. should be up 5-nil by now
