I fully expect him to leave in summer tbh. On what grounds? Just my personal opinion, if we want to improve then we can't rely on the likes of Perch really although having said that we will be letting the likes of Smith, Lovenkrands etc. go so Perch might yet stay purely for squad depth reasons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my personal opinion, if we want to improve then we can't rely on the likes of Perch really although having said that we will be letting the likes of Smith, Lovenkrands etc. go so Perch might yet stay purely for squad depth reasons Oh right, so because you're of the opinion that he's not good enough to start then you 'expect' the club to get rid of him? I suspect, as you later pointed out, that he'll continue to get time as a squad player and we'll keep him for next season (unless another team is actively recruiting our cast-offs). Is there a reason why you don't want us to have a squad? We can't have 25 first-choice players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Squad depth is important, it's just that we can probably do better than Perch in terms of a squad player. "Expecting" him to be sold was probably the wrong phrase to use. In any case, can't see him staying beyond his current contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Done very well on the rare occasion he has been called upon (tidy block and good header back to Krul), not the most comfortable on the ball but put a couple of long balls on Best's head Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 A good Newcastle performance with James Perch on the pitch is when you hardly notice that James Perch is on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nordstrom Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Better than Obertan so far. Seems confident and has made some good tackles and interceptions. Keep it up! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiemag Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Did well defensively .. his long balls forward were an utter waste of posession though .. none of them amounted to anything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I think he had 3 difficult situations to deal with (chasing Routledge down the wing, I think or it could have been Sinclair), putting a header back to Krul under a lot of pressure and putting in a really important block in the first half. He also did the basic well when required. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 kept up with Sinclair's pace well on an occasion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 There were a few occasions he could've played simpler passes rather than playing it long so often, but overall he did what he had too quite well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Seems to be competent as a centre-half. Happy to have him as 4th choice for the rest of the season if we sign a centre-back in January before offloading in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
