themanupstairs Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Hangeland would be exactly the type of defender we need to have a quality pool of players at CB. Very good defender whose massive frame and experience would improve us no end! Would love it if we got him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Beñat is class. Personally I think he would fit like a glove in a Tiote/Cabaye midfield triangle. He's a deep lying playmaker with great energy levels and workrate, which makes him more of a box-to-box player nowadays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxfree Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 We could do with looking at other positions first, but he'd be a great buy. If just for the name. Etxeberria - glorious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I'm sure I've seen Etxebarria play more as a number #10 type for Betis in games. May be wrong. He's always looked quality though when I've seen him play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 A source close to Sissoko told the Chronicle: “Moussa has had a chat with Yohan about the Premier League and what it’s like at Newcastle. “Yohan loves it at St James’ Park, so understandably he gave him a glowing report. “They are both good friends so Moussa values what Yohan had to say.” Read More http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2012/10/30/newcastle-target-sissoko-in-talks-with-pal-cabaye-72703-32127456/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter#ixzz2An3meEwt when reading the quotes I like to think that the "source close to Sissoko " is actually Sissoko, it sounds so deep If he refers to himself in the 3rd person he can fuck off iio.

TaylorJ_01 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 You mean Etxebarria, not Exteberria presumably. Was wondering why people wanted to sign a 35 year old Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Surely if people are wanting 4-3-3, complaining about Cabaye being too deep, etc then a midfielder is exactly what we need? Actually that makes a lot of sense, there wouldn't so much a problem with Cabaye playing deep if there was someone ahead of him who can actually create things for the front 3 in this scenario. Also i have seen Benat a few times for Betis this he looks class but he's spanish and a midfielder so you all probably figured that out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Lot of value to be had in the non-big club Spanish market n all (in theory) given the relative plight of their league/finances/economic situation. 1 goal, 4 assists and 5 yellows in 7 Primera games this season so he certainly gets involved if you just look at the stats.

Tiote and a deep playmaker/box box and Cabaye Well either works tbh, but i am starting to understand these midfield links we have Cabaye and a whole host of DM's but not much in between. We don't have any box to box midfielders or Cabaye aside any creative midfielders, although CB, RB and a Wide player is more important IMO.

Definitely with Michu being a prime example from the last window, even Cazorla you could argue despite the 16m outlay was cheap considering his ability and what people are paying for players a lot worse.
