Blaise Matuidi

[Optimistic Nut]

"L'Equipe sources" confirming our strong interest in Erding & Matuidi. Don't know if this is a Giggs or not.

"After Hatem Ben Arfa, Yohan Cabaye & Sylvain Marveaux, Newcastle could welcome two new players from Ligue 1. According to our sources, the Magpies are interested in Blaise Matuidi & Mevlut Erding. Manager Alan Pardew confirmed in our paper of "his strong interest" in the St-Etienne player and PSG striker".

Where does Ma titty play?

 

Up front?

 

Up your c***? In your vag? Slipping up your axe wound?

 

As in centre forward?

or more 'in the hole' between the belly button and the penis?

[TRon]

Sounds promising. Him and Tiote = Viera and Petit.

 

I would imagine having two defensive midfielders who are good in possession, unlike most of the defensive midfielders we've previously employed, would give us insurance to play a very attacking front 3.

front 4 surely ?

I was thinking 4-3-3

thats the confusion, if matuidi comes in i'd see more of a 4-2-3-1. could answer the barnetta situation. could be holding off on him for matuidi in the way we did arveloa (sp ?) for tiote.

Completely different types of player though

[Heron]

I was thinking more of a 1-1-8 formation Colo, Tiote, and 8 new front men?

In the Ukraine, France played a midfield three of Matuidi, M'vila & Cabaye with Menez & Remy either side of Gameiro. I could see us pretty much adopting that system with Tiote in M'vila's role.

i know. thats why with matuidi it goes more 4-2-3-1 and with barnetta instead it's 4-3-3.

 

 

hopefully not just wishful thinking on either set up.

Still not following ya here, you know Barnetta is very much a wide player?

So Matuidi, Tiote and Cabaye in the middle with Ben Arfa and Erding either side of Ba?

Still not following ya here, you know Barnetta is very much a wide player?

not always,he can and has played centrally also on the right and more importantly he isn't afraid to get stuck in. took up a narrow position aginst england which is what i'd kind of expect playing to the left of tiote with merveaux in advance of them.

Fair enough. I did know he was versatile (he's two footed, hard worker, allround player kind of thing), but always thought he was very much a winger first a foremost. It will be nice if we could have some depth and versatility anyway

Could see Ba out wide in that rather than Erding, may be wrong but I think he's got more of a history of playing wide than Erding has.

Or Ben Arfa & Marveaux either side of Ba, good that we've got a number of options.

[Ginola]

Barnetta as a part of a midfield 3? Really?

This. Neither Erding or Ba should play out wide in a 4-3-3.

can't see us playing 4-3-3 when bena rafas fit........either 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-2-1. so i'm looking to bring in one more centre forward as a necessity, 2 would be nice.

[Ginola]

IF we sign Matuidi/CM we'll most likely be playing 4-3-2-1 IMO. Loven Barfa & Jonas Marveaux as inside forwards behind Shola Ba.

[spudwiser]

jeez lads you would not want to have dyscalculia in this thread 

numbers flying everywhere

you'd be lost 

 

Your non standard 4-3-3/4-5-1 seems the most likely - wiht a winger and an inside fw
