Guest MrSundlofer Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Love Christian Eriksen fwiw [/nohomo] Is this the dead ball specialist he mentioned on the Radio Newcastle interview??? Rasmus Elm is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Kinnear stuck Jonas and Cacapa in the centre of midfield in a 4-4-2. He probably would have needed his '2 years' to find out that Cacapa wouldn't be suited to CM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabaye isnt exactly rapid tbf and he isnt the only midfielder i can say this about.... Nope, but he's also a lot more combative and agressive in his play. And from what i've seen Cabaye is quicker the first few yards, and plays the ball with a higher tempo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And from what i've seen Cabaye is quicker the first few yards, and plays the ball with a higher tempo. I dont know much about Elm but pace wont be a great problem if his movement is top class and passing is decent. Silva and Fabregas are fine examples of this..... i would'nt say either of them are combative or aggressive or particularly quick but thier movement and football brain are brilliant.... Not saying he would be anywhere near them but if his movement off the ball and passing is accurate and precise then being slow wont matter too much. I'll look out for him at the WC anyway as i know very little. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look out for him at the WC anyway as i know very little. Silva and Fabregas are a lot more nippy and agile type of players, them not having Usain Bolt pace isn't the the same as Elm The Elk not having it, and when i said slow i was talking about "slow in play" as well. Not saying that Elm wouldn't make it in the EPL, absolutely not, but i find it hard to see him become a success unless he plays for a side that is quite dominant when it comes to possession.

No need to come up with "solutions" why he (Elm) won't find it hard to adapt to the English Premier League... if you don't know what kind of player he is. Instead, as you said, take a look at him in the Euros ...he and Anders Svensson will fight for the central midfield role beside Kim Källström.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I'd be surprised if Pardew had listed any of the players NUFC are after in his 'Top 10 Players To Watch At The Euros' list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/alan-pardews-euro-zone-put-your-money-on-england-to-snatch-a-draw-7834196.html Was looking for Debuchy clues in his Euro column but all we get is this: Just about every Premier League club will have scouts in Poland and Ukraine. From Newcastle's perspective there are obviously players we know very well; there is one in particular I am keen to look at. The worry is that if they do too well the agents and the player are suddenly in a stronger position and the cost goes up. So as a manager you're hoping they do OK but not too well! Our chief scout, Graham Carr, who has done a great job, will be out there and I am delighted that the club rewarded him at the end of last week with a long contract.

Dr Colossus Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I'd be surprised if Pardew had listed any of the players NUFC are after in his 'Top 10 Players To Watch At The Euros' list.
