Deuce Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Bryam's style of play has been likened by many to that of Real Madrid's Welsh international Gareth Bale. http://media.giphy.com/media/kRWFIgO75okHm/giphy.gif Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he looks great, if we get one player from Leeds I'd rather it was him. Got a lovely left foot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggs Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Depends who you can ship out as well really. We can only have 25 and we've still got the likes of Tiote and Obertan on the books, plus Darlow & Lascelles to add in. GK: Krul, Darlow, Elliot RB: Janmaat LB: Dummett, Haidara, CB: Lascelles, Williamson, Taylor, Colo CM: Tiote, Colback, Sissoko, De Jong, Anita, Abeid Wings: Cabella, Gouffran, Obertan, Aarons, Sammy? Forwards: Cisse, Perez, Riviere I'd ship Elliot, Williamson, Colo, Tiote, Gouffran, Obertan, Sammy, Cisse and Riviere from that list me too ffs same squad + couple more = nosedive i would keep cisse. Why are people talking about abeid leaving...what have i missed? sorry missed Cisse in there and hopeful he will stay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Lascellas will be back up RB for sure even though he's a CB. In general I think our spine needs a refresh. A CB and ST definitely. A wide player and CM would be great too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gleebals Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 For me the following need to go: Taylor - Always injured and bar the odd good game, not good enough Williamson - all I really need to say really Tiote - not done it for a few seasons now and a liability when in the team Gouffran - seemed ok when he got here but played out of position for so long he seems to have regressed massively, offers nothing Obertan - for his position (winger) he does not offer nearly enough, final ball often poor and does not score enough Riviere - if we can get some money back for him, get it! I would add Colo into the mix but might be worth keeping as think as backup he is worth having, certainly not as captain though For me that highlights exactly what we need. - Two new first team centre backs (we have to reduce the number of goals conceded, its ridiculous) - Two players, either wingers or attacking players with pace that can get the ball in the box, not hit the byline or box and go backwards - A midfield player who can dictate play from an attacking perspective (we have De Jong, but his injury issues make him a risk to rely on). Someone who can hit decent set plays! - A decent holding player to free Sissoko up more (keep Colback/Anita as utility/cover players) - 15 - 20 goal a season striker who can really put pressure on defenders - our current crop all like to play off the defenders and are not that good at it (Perez aside maybe). We need to pressure in the box. For me that is 7 first team players that have to come in, all I would like to see with more pace and strength. Think we need to see an additional 2-3 genuine development players added to that (Striker, CB and Mid). We then have reasonable cover and a much stronger first team. Clearly a sizeable investment required there although I suspect we could probably get c.10-15M for the players that need to go. We have the £34M, this seasons TV money profit (yet to be reported) and clearly a bigger windfall to come so no reason why we cannot net spend £50-60M IMO. Spent correctly with a decent manager and that should see us competing for 8th (possibly higher). Not sure why I wrote all that as its never going to happen mind!

joeyt Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Newcastle unearth teenage Geordie goalscorer and could pip La Liga clubs for his signature Sixteen-year-old Callum Douglas set for trial at Newcastle United after tearing up goalscoring records at youth level in southern Spain Newcastle United are set to take a closer look at a 16-year-old striker who has already caught the eye of clubs in La Liga. The Magpies have monitored 6ft 3in forward Callum Douglas and could yet pip Valencia, Elche and neighbours Sunderland to sign the youngster. The move is evidence that Newcastle are leaving no stone unturned in the Academy’s search for local talent – even when they have left the area. Having moved to Spain as a youngster due to his father Ken’s business, the teenager has torn up local records in Alicante’s district leagues and played for Elche’s youth ranks, scoring over 45 times this season in all competitions. It is now expected that Douglas will head to Tyneside for a trial this summer at Newcastle’s Academy. The young striker started his youth career with Wallsend Boys Club as a defender, but has the benefit of working on his technique ins sunnier climes. He then played for L’Alfàs del Pi and La Nucia, where he was converted into a striker, where he scored goals galore. But the boyhood Newcastle fan will be looking to show what he can do this summer and earn a contract on Tyneside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting how he was a defender over here (clearly because he was tall), but then goes to Spain and has a chance to develop all areas of his game, and shows he can be a striker, and so is converted despite his height.
