NUFC transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

He played as a number 10 in France for the majority of the 2 seasons before we signed him. I think he is totalled wasted on the wing, and his chances of playing centrally are diminishing with every signing we make. I would prefer him behind the striker over De Jong if possible. Siem literally doesn't move, and unless he can chip in with around 10 goals a season, I think he will hinder our play. Like Nolan did when he wasn't scoring. Atleast Cabella offers movement, passing and creativity when playing.

 

He played on the right wing a lot for Montpellier, he played behind the striker as well but yeah. I agree with your general post on Siem and Cabella btw.

It's more annoying, because we are all effectively wanting just a perfect starting XI. We aren't used to potentially having decent players left out, or on the bench :lol:

 

In a more rounded sense, we would technically have some squad depth if everyone remained fit. Adding another striker and a top draw winger like Shaqiri will make me lose my mind.

Re De Jong-Cabella as a no 10. De Jong makes less but better movement and is a much better finisher.

 

The Shaqiri link is interesting, so much so it could change us from the predicted 4-2-3-1 to a 4-3-2-1.

No one seems to have a clue what the team will be as is :lol: We are not used to this that's for sure.

I maintain that we need a proper DM first of all, but I wouldn't mind him at all.

 

I would consider us overstocked in the central midfield area now. Doubt we will see a DM unless we sell.

Shaqiri, while almost perfect in terms of age, price, ability to play in a position we're short in and potential for sell on there is no way we would get him. Players stepping up is our thing. He wouldn't step down from Bayern to Newcastle in the space of 12 months at his age.

 

With regards to De Jong, from what I've seen I'm reasonably confident he will be good. He plays one touch football and I think if we can get players rotating around him then he will be really effective. Plus, he looks like he'll get in the box. That might mean at times we'll see Wijnaldum, Mitrovic, Him and potentially one of Ayoze/Aarons in or around the box when attacking which might mean we even score a goal or two.

Doubt it too, but I still feel the qualities of our CM's are too unbalanced. Either they're better in a more offensive position or they're simply not good enough. If we got in a proper DM that could tackle and close down, it would provide much needed cover for our helpless defence. Ideally Tiote could fill that roll if he were to have a decent season or even stay in the club. Right now I'm more worried about how horrid we look when we loose the ball than our lacks in offence.

Hmmm I think our recent recruiting would show any player there's now a renewed sense of ambition and drive at the club. Add Shaqiri and couple of defenders and we've a really intriguing team this year.

If by some miracle we sign Shaqiri I would officially start paying attention to next season.

 

edit - and if it goes much further than that i'll have to buy the wife a season ticket.  :undecided:

Shaqiri and Abdennour and would be our greatest summer in an eternity. (in addition to finalizing Mbemba)

 

In an ideal world we sign that Dutch winger fella for cheap, Shaq, and Abdennour.
