Tiresias Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 The talk about inter atm I bet is Lille would prefer to sell him there as they reckon more money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Jonas stands out like a sore thumb in that, which speaks for itself because he's not a 'bad' player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pjpg Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I can't help but worry we need a left footed left back more than we do a right back as much as i really want this deal to come off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 That first eleven only some depth would be required. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Jonas stands out like a sore thumb in that, which speaks for itself because he's not a 'bad' player. Different qualities from him and Marveaux means we can still be pretty happy about that left wing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Jonas stands out like a sore thumb in that, which speaks for itself because he's not a 'bad' player. Yeah, I agree. Whilst I'd argue that in games against the 'lesser' teams, particularly at home, Marveaux might be a better selection, Jonas would be one of the first names on the teamsheet for me when we're playing any of the top half teams. As NUFC supporters we're not really used to having feasible options past our first 11 players, feels good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hydeous Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I think this season we'll see Marveaux really fight for a place in the first 11. Great that we finally have players of quality fighting for places. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Jonas stands out like a sore thumb in that, which speaks for itself because he's not a 'bad' player. Not if it's the 4-3-3. He's a vital cog in that midfield triumvirate and he's absolutely vital to the flair player(/s) ahead of him. If it's in a 4-4-2, i'd agree - but there's decent competition for places at LW.

JH Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Agree with Ronny in a little way, after Simpson goes then Jonas is the next 'weak link' but by no means as weak as our current situation. After that, it's Taylor - which just shows our quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 There are big flaws in Jonas' game which prevent from being an all-rounder. Defensively he's very accomplished for his position, so he's a must against the rest of the top 6. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Been waiting over a decade for a quality RB that is solid and can attack almost like a Wingback. How solid would you say he is? Better defensively than Beye? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Jonas will nearly always get picked, his workrate alone is a big factor for Pardew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Jonas is a must when we fear fast counters down that flank. Jonas' capability in central midfield also make him very useful. I don't think he sticks out, and he's also the type of player I want in the dressing room attitude wise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Unlikely but hope we at least hold on to Simpson 'til January and take a small hit in transfer fee. We're still badly lacking in squad depth & I'd have no problem him playing in lesser league/Europa games to allow Debuchy time to get upto speed. Jonas - Marveux aside the drop off in ability is far, far too big and even then Marveux is unproven both in being able to hack it in the league and staying fit.

Even for 4-3-3 it could work, just put Cabaye in Jonas role and Marveaux in Cabaye's role. It's so nice to have so many options Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Jonas is the player that gives the team that bit extra physicality and ability to make the opposition work. Nobody gets past him without a battle, and nobody tackles him without committing at least two players. He showed some nice passing in the midfield three as well.

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Jomas has a bit more to him than the work rate though, when he's surrounded by attacking players (movement and pace in particular) he always seems to find a creative edge, lots of diagonals and intelligent passing (done it a fair bit with Ben Arfa and even in the Championship with Lovenkrands playing ahead of him). It's probably fair to say he's the 'weak link' in the eleven but he's got a lot to contribute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Jonas is a must when we fear fast counters down that flank. Jonas' capability in central midfield also make him very useful. I don't think he sticks out, and he's also the type of player I want in the dressing room attitude wise. I can see Jonas being our Park Ji Sung. Used in the big games where his work ethic comes into play, with Marveaux used against the lesser sides or when we're playing an out-and-out 4-4-2.

Belfast Mags Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Must say, I love a bit of Jonas me, really like his workrate, industry and has a lot to offer going forward. Seems like a top lad too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
