Aue I think Kev's sussed it with the RCM role, if Longstaff could dink a ball over the top from the corner of the box he'd probably be lethal.

This kind of stuff I find really intetesting, and it really indicates the vast level of detail our scouting team will be going into when looking at players, and why I trust us when buying players like Gordon over people saying he's shite. It makes absolute helmets basing a player purely by their FBRef profile even funnier too (https://www.redcafe.net/threads/sandro-tonali-newcastle-close-to-70m-deal.451521/post-30710839).

Hans in the mud.

Even Burn was becoming more of a 'marauding' full back as time went on wasn't he? I did like it initially with 3 big centrebacks pushing up to stop teams being able to find an out ball.

They had one at the training ground, Bruno, Botman, Willock and (cannot remember the other) were play it a little while back. Those 2 lasses would absolutely annihilate them

Maybe you should put this in a thread or something next time, Kev, so people have a fucking clue what you're getting at

It's not Romano's fault people are choosing to incessantly post everything he tweets out on here like

"Broke down" If anyone is unaware of what happens in reality when a player is told they're being sent off against their wishes, look to Isaac Hayden, Ciaran Clark, or Jamal Lewis.

Was after that iirc. He was away with the u21s and we put something on .co.uk saying it was agreed in principle or something, unless I've dreamed that up?

Didn't the same happen with Botman? The club released a statememt like but it wasn't official until a while later.

Imagine if he signed then died on the plane back to Newcastle.

Or 'wor' to give it that bit of Lonbardy flair.

I would be suprised if the Athletic knew Howe's plans with the squad like. Both Tonali and Bruno look to be able to play both roles so it's anyone's guess really.

Might be taking over Trippier on set pieces like

Usually under tbf.

Just remember that the same kind of people calling Tonali shite and overpriced are the same type of people who, years into his Liverpool career, when he was an ever present captain in one of the best sides in the world, were calling Jordan Henderson shite.

The Hornstein double whammy.

Milanista is great and posts some incredibly thought out posts. I hope he continues to come back.

I remember when a young buck named Hans said players would be better off here than Milan. The people called him delutional. The people call him delutional no more.

Bruno doesn't play as a traditional 6 either though.

But everyone reckons he's geet quick

Apparently he's fairly rapid and will press all day. Just Dennis Wise scouting but he looks to get all over the pitch, pops out wide and can whip balls in with both feet, switch play with ease, ping them over the top like Schar. Seems basically perfect for what we'd want in a 6.
