Dan Gleebals Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Personally think he could be very effective in the Nolan role, albeit with alot more pace to go with it. Not so good in the air. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 He really isn't a number 10 (attacking midfielder maybe) nor did he play as one before coming here. You have to wonder how he got sold on that being his best position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ste Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 He'll have to add goals to his game to play that role. There's a lot more to come from this lad, he's incredibly talented. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggs Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 He'll have to add goals to his game to play that role. There's a lot more to come from this lad, he's incredibly talented. Trust in Pardew to return him to his debut form Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TherealnorthernTOON Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Actually think this is the sort of player that can power in 10 goals a season if played correctly, doing the counter attacking stuff which he's really good at and arriving in the box at the correct time. Sad thing is, he often wandered off wide in our games last year because of our lack of width. Keep him centrally and he will score and create a havoc in their defences.

Ikon Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Will get more space in the middle with Ben Arfa on the pitch as he'll draw lots of attention when on the ball. Benny is good on the counter running with the ball as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Just caught his interview from yesterday's Chronicle, he obviously likes playing no. 10 and it's good to hear Pardew's told him he needs to score more, hopefully means more than one player in the box next year. Personally, I think he's a central midfielder but he might perform much better behind the striker now he's not being asked to be the hub of the team.

You have to wonder how he got sold on that being his best position. He played there last year and obviously enjoyed the freedom that came along with it, he did an interview with the Chronicle last season iirc. I'm not sold on him as a no. 10 but I do think he'll perform better there with HBA back fit. In an ideal world, it would be Sissoko and Cabaye behind Marveaux.

LFEE Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Central midfield for me driving the team forward box to box and and chipping in with 6-12 goals a season... Similar to Rob Lee... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
