Hanshithispantz Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Semtex is so right he's right. I don't want Jonas to start another league game for us if we can help it, but he's good experienced cover. I have no doubt he isn't as bad as he's looked this season either.

Unbelievable Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Comments about Jonas are cringe worthy. He's been s**** for 6 months, at the same time everyone else has been s***. He's not ready for the glue factory yet I'm afraid, and even if he was, he's a committed member of the squad and getting rid of him would be needless, especially in a time where Colo has been massively unsettled. It would be insane to get rid of his countryman and give him even less reasons to stick around. especially the bit in bold. He's never been amongst our better players in terms of creativity and end product, yet his work rate and willingness to sacrifice himself have been invaluable for us in the not so distant past. To me it seems since we have been doing less good collectively as a squad of players people look at the people least likely to create some magic as the ones that are dispensable. A good team needs work horses just as much as it needs show ponies to stay in the glue factory theme. I would be looking to replace him, because I agree we can do better long term, but not let him go now without a replacement coming in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 As soon as anyone has a period of bad form, thats it they are gone! They whole team has been utter gash all season, unfair to pick him out really. Last season he put in some cracking shifts for the team, yes i know he isn't that productive in the attacking sense but he did a lot of work for us, freeing up other players and allowin gthem to attack. I think he will improve this second half with better players in the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its more of a case of bad form with Jonas, i don't think he's anything more than a back up these days and genuinely not the player he was. With that said i wouldn't get rid of anyone ( Simpson aside due to his contract situation) until the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Even for Simpson, I'll be tempted to keep him if we don't get a significant offer, so we can have him as an option for the Europa League. We can only register Debuchy or MYM and I suspect MYM gets the nod due to his versatility and main position. Whether we go beyond the next round is another question though.

Yorkie Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Wouldn't cry into my pillow if someone whacked a few million down for Jonas and he left. Pardew wouldn't even entertain the idea though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthiGeordie Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 William Vainquer is the name keeps coming now GFN reporting we are after him strongly. RMC have just reported it after us! The player would be available for about €2.5m. At the age of 24, still yet to reach the heights that many have predicted for him. No formal offer from NUFC yet.

EthiGeordie Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I would see it. Tiote is in such bad form. we can't relay on Perch forever. If we get a good player he can come and shore up things from the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I really hope that is just the media bringing up old links because there is no logical reasons why we would want another midfielder.

basjen Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Graham put in a transfer request, would be happy to see him through the gates. Miles better than Shola, absolutely a decent back-up imo. He wouldn't be the most expensive either, neither in terms of fee or wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
