Deuce Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Will he cross the halfway line now he’s a wing-back? Finally putting that blazing speed to good use. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Will he cross the halfway line now he’s a wing-back? Finally putting that blazing speed to good use. Sure I saw him venture into the box during open play. Up with this sort of thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Would have rather seen Aarons play LWB if that’s what we do with a back 5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubestationatmidnight Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 That's a joke. I have a Scottish grandad. I've been to Scotland once 15 years ago. Total farce that. If I was a professional footballer and I was in a dressing room with a load of players born and raised in Glasgow etc I would feel out of place having been to Scotland fucking once Welsh grandad ffs he was born and raised in Newcastle wasn't he Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but I went to Swansea away last season, surely that would qualify me?

Kasper Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I get it that he's a decent defender and everything but I just hate him as a footballer. To see a player with such poor technique and so uncomfortable on the ball kills me every time. I get angry just writing about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Our new Aaron Hughes, in many aspects Aaron Hughes is Cafu compared to Dummett. I second Kaspers view. Tragic to watch a professional in the top league control and use a ball like he does. I had to eat my words last season and admit he was integral to our team, he did really well, but the praise is always given with the caveat that the praise is because of how bad he is, if that makes sense Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixx Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 In many aspects a perfect back up player. Reliable, homegrown, considerable experience, can even fill in okay at centre back if asked to. That said it should be a priority to replace him in the first XI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 That's a joke. I have a Scottish grandad. I've been to Scotland once 15 years ago. Total farce that. If I was a professional footballer and I was in a dressing room with a load of players born and raised in Glasgow etc I would feel out of place having been to Scotland fucking once Welsh grandad ffs he was born and raised in Newcastle wasn't he I can kind of see that point. But I think it is a pretty personal choice and also I would imagine a selfish one for many, as it is a chance to play international football. For example, my Grandad is Polish. I’ve only been to Poland once, but I do feel a tie to the country somehow and I always cheer for them when they’re playing. Against England would be strange, mind. I absolutely adored the bloke and found his war memoirs and stories he used to tell fascinating. So I guess what I’m saying is, I’ll happily accept a call-up to the Polish national team to play alongside Lewandowski Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I have no idea. Funnily enough I wasn’y expecting to represent Poland at international level any time soon Just trying to explain to Tubes how it’s not necessarily as black and white as that.

HaydnNUFC Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I have a Welsh grandad, and Welsh influence is clear to see with my name. So I feel a tie to the country. Wouldn't represent them over England if I was a footballer though. But what the player thinks his chances of getting into the respective national sides are would also play into the decision.

What if you had the self-insight to know you'd probably never break into the English side, but that you could break into the Welsh side? Surely you'd at least consider it.

Despite having ties to Wales and a clear Welsh influence on my life, I just don't feel Welsh. I've lived here in the north east of England all my life and speak with a clear Geordie accent. It'd be weird, especially if playing against England. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I've a scottish dad and geordie mam, raised in Newcastle. I always supported Scotland, not England, since it was me da that was my football influence. I'd be trying to make sure my kid supported scotland too, even if they've only one Scottish gparent. One of the first times Matt Ritchie went to Scotland was to play for the national team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
