Geordie Ahmed Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Shelvey and Schar have shown to be more than useful under Howe so them getting a new contract makes sense Dummett if he wasn't always injured wouldn't be bad to have around but we know he's guaranteed an injury It could as someone suggested just be a tactic of Howe to ensure the squad is united until the end of the season I like Dummett but him getting a new contract isn't a sign of progression Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 He should be moved on. He'd be okay as emergency cover but he's barely ever fit enough to be even that. Only logical reason I can think of for an extension is the homegrown at club squad registration rules, don't think we have many. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s still performing ok next Christmas time then fair enough. He’s been here years and has been total shit for most of that time, so has to do a level performance over a much longer period to convince me. No chance in hell would I give Dummett a new contract, as not only is he an injury liability, he’s also a pretty average premier league player. As I mentioned in another thread, it’s an Edwards article, so take with a pinch of salt anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we have well over double figures in the current 25 man squad that counts as home grown so don't think we even need him for that And if we plan on moving a number of them on then may as well let Dummett go and then make sure to sign a homegrown player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it's not a priority as it's hardly like loads of other clubs will be in for him, especially at his reported wage Giving him a contract could be with a view that in 12-18 months time we sell him and get something back for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Should be the first player out the door in the current squad. It's not even remotely a contest. Maybe he can join up with Mike Williamson to get some lessons in how he can improve his technique. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HWTL Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Thought we would be looking forward and getting rid of him. Get Target in and a young prospect. Burn can always fill in if injuries kick in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Don’t see the point in it. Even if we disregard the fact he’s not very good, he’s injury prone. Why waste a squad space on him? Targett is the left-back he should be and Burn is the centre-back he should be. There’s just no need for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Only real reason I can think is they want to keep Dummett around and transition him into coaching when he retires I like Dummett as well but as has been said his injury record is tragic.

Chrisjraby Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Going by wiki, he's made around 200 appearances across 10 years at the club, 46 of which came in the championship. 36 appearances in the last 3 years. We shouldn't even be considering an extension for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Handing the likes of him a new deal would be beyond stupid. He rarely plays and offers nowt when he does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I've no problem with it tbh. I've never considered him a terrible player by any stretch and I think he's had plenty of good performances. And I think there's probably something in every single manager he's played under appearing to absolutely love him. One reason why we've managed to keep our heads above water since 2017 despite everything is the fact that (but for the odd dip), the squad has had an excellent mentality. Rafa instilled that during his initial revamp of the squad and it's never really gone away; we've never had a repeat of the squads of the likes of 07-09 or 14-16 where next to no one gave a single fuck about NUFC. We had no identity on the pitch after Rafa left but I've never got the impression that the squad has phoned it in; there's been a dressing room 'identity' of good characters who, on the whole, will take responsibility. I can absolutely see Dummett as one of the carriers of that mentality and therefore a useful person to have around as we transition from a club going nowhere to a club going places. If he was first choice I'd be very concerned about Howe's judgement but that clearly isn't going to be the case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Very Strange, but i guess having him as a squad player would be a good option since he can play in multiple positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I guess given he can cover CB and LB, he gives us options, particularly if we bin off Manquillo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 From the registered squad currently if we want to strengthen the defence it’ll be Fernandez who goes for a new first choice CB, and either Targett or whichever LB we sign. As long as he’s extreme back up as in only plays when Targett/new LB, Burn, Manquillo and Krafth are all out then I’ll live. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
