Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa joins AS Roma then Lyon


Recommended Posts

Is this run of games City (cup), Chelsea home and Spurs away? Or was there another I've forgotten about? He did well in those first two but considering the amount of times Krul dug us out of the shit against Spurs I'll not get excited. He and Williamson are a good combo as Williamson seems a decent organiser and three clean sheets against those teams isn't to be sniffed at. Like I said, the potential is there so I'd rather we at least tried him in his best position but idiot boy seems loathe to do so

played vs Liverpool too iirc and got sent off suspended for match vs sunderland (dummet at cb out of desperation i believe) then chelsea and spurs

Although they didn't play together much, we never lost with the MYM and Williamson partnership.

 

Also we lost twice in the 9 games he started at CB, both with Coloccini. He was fine at CB with Williamson.

 

To say he never showed anything to be positive about is utter nonsense, he showed plenty of promise alongside Williamson until Pardew dropped for absolutely no reason.

:thup: Knew there was some stats lying around there.

Fucking joke, this. Small time short sided classic mentality.

This, 100%. Brainwashed if you don't see how clear it was with these 2. Selling a young CB in favor of a 28, and 2 30+ players who are declining in talent, physicality and are never actually fit for an entire season is shockingly stupid.

He is popular because Pardew hates him. He has rarely shown much in an NUFC shirt. I do however think he has more potential than any of our other centre halves given his skill set. He's had to play a lot at full back, unfairly, but that doesn't excuse for example why he just threw Eto'o to the ground for no reason, or even playing at centre half against Everton he failed to even attempt to head the ball clear from a big punt downfield.

 

The likes of Taylor have made a similar number of mistakes and yet still remain though, which is inexcusable. For this kid to be 4th choice, particularly in the games where we had nothing to play for at the end of last season, seems utterly bonkers to me.

 

There seems to be a few players who fall into that category eg Abeid, Bigi, MYM, where the belief seems to be that they'd become better players under a better manager. As I say, that seems to be based on hope rather than any evidence on the field.

 

I'd gladly see Taylor replaced as well. However, I think after the Everton debacle, Pardew's faith in MYM was severely shaken, because the player wasn't just bad, he was completely hopeless. You can bank on Taylor producing some kind of performance, even if his style of defending isn't very imposing on the opposition.

 

Colo was hopeless in the Everton game too (a few other matches as well) yet Pardew's faith in him hasn't shaken

 

Typical shite management from Pardew, once he decides your crap, there is no way back even though there is clearly talent/ability there

Just don't understand this loan if it happens. He has figured with the first team in pre-season so he is not considered a dead weight or marginalized like Ferguson, Bigi, Hatem, Marveaux, Obertan and Jonas. There have even been pics with Pardew with his arm around him giving him advice.

 

What and how on earth do we benefit from sending him out on loan. We must be confident of a pretty solid CB coming in.

What a shame, should be getting a lot of games over the blind faith shown in colo and willo. Still tbh he has had a few shockers in his time, my hope was he'd develop (like Colo) and become a great cb of which he has all the ingredients. Maybe we do plan on bringing him back after the loan with another full season playing under his belt.

More devaluation of our squad overseen by Pardew. I know people don't care about the money, but it's not Ashley's money, it belongs to the club. Ashley will take his loan back and probably double his earnings by the time he leaves Newcastle.

Don't rate him as highly as the majority seem to, but dear god we better not sell him without at least two suitable replacements coming in.

 

The thought of starting the season with the current defensive options sans MYM is horrifying.

I think that's the reason people are so pissed off, if he goes we'll probably just stick with what we have.

 

If we were actually gonna buy two quality defenders i wouldn't mind it so much, its a waste but i wouldn't mind it.

I would still mind when we have an aging 'captain', a complete moron and a very limited footballer staying. They should all arguably be away before MYM.

So depressing to look at it like that, spot on as it is.  O0

Let's hope it is just a rumour but if not, just shows you what little playing pre season means i guess.

Surely we won't go into the season with Taylor and Williamson as 2 of our 3 main CB's. Madness if we do.

All our CBS bar Mapou have histories of picking up significant injuries. This, plus the lack of cover at right back make this move (especially a loan) absolutely baffling. Pack the fuck in Alan

Pardew said he wasn't going to use that combo again, but if we palm MYM off and don't replace him we're only one injury, suspension or Lorenzian wet dream away from seeing it again.

I wonder on what basis Pardew has suddenly lost all faith in MYM? He admitted himself that he didn't really deserve to lose his place when Colo became available again, he was in pretty solid form IIRC. When did a £6m asset suddenly become a liability?
