Guest The German Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I would like to see much more of Xisco. Coming in at his first match for Newcastle and scoring. Then never heard something of him again! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I would like to see much more of Xisco. Coming in at his first match for Newcastle and scoring. Then never heard something of him again! He's a decent player, but not as good as the 3 first choice strikers by a long way. That'll be his downfall unfortunately. Nothing particularly wrong with Xisco. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Xsico has looked shit in the few appearances hes made. Would be worth loaning him out to a side in the Championship imo so he can get used to a different style and pace of play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that would be a good idea, if he isn't even getting ahead of "The big AC" we really need to get him doing something even if its just to put him in the shop window.

Ashley17 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 One of the main thing that annoys me is that we don't have fringe players playing in the reserves, then complain when they aren't match fit when we need them. Xisco has played about 5 games and been injured and Carroll is now on the bench ahead of him, presumably because of his goals at reserve level. Xisco is only young too and still needs games to develop, whether it be in the reserves or out on loan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 If Kinnear doesn't think Xisco is up to it then move him on, his value will only drop the longer he's stagnating here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhatTheFunk Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Let's keep this thread about potentially our player of the season. Outstanding performance once again from the big man. If the French FA scouts are watching, a call-up won't be too far away now. Yes he's that good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 WOW was going to start a new topic on Bassong but this will do, absolutely phenomenal again today, i'd happily shake hands with whoever found him. If Colo is living up to his £10m price tag, Basssong is playing like a £15m central defender tbh. Has it all. Plays like a 30 year old who's spent his entire career in the premiership Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 He was absolutely fantastic today in everything he did. He has real pace, strength and seems a calm and assured defender. He was also very good in the air and not too bad on the ball. In the second half one of their players had a 5 yard head start on him and he came over, won the race, got his body in front of the player and between the ball and casually rolled it forward a touch before playing it inwards to Given. Brilliant play I thought and he and Colo seem to be forming a good partnership and long may it continue, this partnership and his form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one summer we have bought a whole new heart to our defence that could last for years. /in fact a whole new back line in two summers. Top job.

mattypnufc Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I normally jinx players by praising them on here, but fuck me what a performance. Utterly brilliant considering we paid nothing for him. Has the makings of a brilliant defence with that back 4 like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Playing really well together with Colo right now. Hope they keep it up and force a definitive first choice pairing; we've needed one we can rely on for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
