Spudil Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 f***ing hell man I feel bad for Anita right now. Think back everyone, think back to what the Ajax fans said- that he would be wasted at Newcastle due to our kick and rush style. He is the anti-thesis of a Pardew style player who of course tries to play him as some sort of all action box to box 4-4-2 midfielder that he will never be. Ugh, the guy must be confused when he tries to play football with our team having played a dynamic and central role in the Ajax pass and move football philosophy.

TRon Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I suspect he might be lightweight, but I need to see him in a footballing team to make a proper call. In the right set up he'd probably look better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagten Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 He was asked to be a the advanced creative force from the midfield 2. And the defensive midfielder didn't do this very well? That's a shock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Well if Pardew decides to sign a players like Big Vurn and Cabaye, then doesn't use them in a system they have played all their careers (3 in the middle). Is it any wonder they aren't playing well and to their strengths. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudil Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Get the impression he'd be fine at Swansea incidentally Without doubt he'd fit straight in. Could replace Britton easily for example. Ki-Anita De Guzman nice midfield tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I thought he was OK, especially considering he was played as an attacking midfielder for the majority of the game. He'll be a very good player for us, as long as he's primarily played as a DM but I can't see that happening in the foreseeable future, unfortunately.

Mick Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I was against signing him when we had other areas of the pitch that were crying out for upgrades. Having said that, I think he will become a very good player for us if used in the right formation as he does look like a tidy player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiote would look awesome alongside a creative/goalscoring midfielder in front of him though. We shouldn't count how he's being used now against him, his proper role is as a midfield destroyer, not creator. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pardew not seeing that his three best central midfielders are having big parts of their games taken away by playing only two in the middle, weakening which two he uses by doing so, its really worrying me.

Having said that, I think he will become a very good player for us if used in the right formation as he does look like a tidy player. Yeah, I agree with that. Strange how we spent so much money on him (midfielder), then for the most part we have been playing him right back. Debuchy wouldn't have cost that much more and is actually a right back.

I think his versatility made us pay the money for him. He's a player who can play 3-4 positions. It's important to have a player like him. Remember Aaron Hughes. Was terrible at times, but his versatility was extremely important to this team. Had we gotten Debuchy we could've been playing Bigi and Gosling for games this season...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Still think Anita is a good signing TBH. He's versatile, that's easy to scoff at but we love the same thing about someone like Perch. He's from Ajax, so he believes in keeping the ball and moving around when he doesn't have it. He has energy. He hasn't been brilliant, but he's been played in fits and starts in a team that isn't functioning properly. I still think he'll come good. Obviously if it was a choice between him or Debuchy or a CB I wouldn't have gone for him. But we know our recruitment policy doesn't work like that.
