NUFC transfer rumours in the press

We need a LB, CB and two wingers.

 

Today in Portugal, a newspapper talk about Taarabt for Newcastle. What do you think about it?

 

So you think our CM is fine? We need to look at that first and foremost. 2 wingers before anyone in the middle? Absolutely staggering.

Can't believe it either, if we had a midfield that could compete, at least teams wouldn't walk through us at will. It's absolutely terrifying to think what Klopp's amped up Liverpool will do to us come Sunday.

I really don't get everyone's interest in getting a winger. It almost seems like a luxury position given where we are. Our defense is bad, especially on the left side, and our two central midfielders provide zero cover. As others have mentioned it is probably the worst pairing in the league. If you improve those two areas (properly) we are instantly a different team.

We need to fix the spine + add wingers, man. We have no width or threat or ability to create and take advantage of our CF or the Attacking Midfielders getting balls into the box.

 

GK, CB1, CM1, LB, LW, RW. All need to basically be signed. Tall order.

Honestly the team should basically be set up like this (when fit) if we could ever make the right moves, which again, is not likely ever to happen.

 

GK: New GK or Krul

RB: Janmaat

CB1: New CB

CB2: Mbemba

LB: New LB

 

CM1: New CM

CM2: New CM

ACM: Wijnaldum / Perez / De Jong

 

LW: New LW or Perez

CF: Mitrovic / New CF

RW: New RW or Perez

 

4-3-3 with Wijnaldum playing in the #10 role and nothing else (shame, as I was hoping he'd be able to be a proper CM) and we need 2 genuine wingers with pace who actually play the wing and can cross the fucking ball.

Just don't  understand  this at all. We need to fix the centre  of  midfield  before any wingers come in. You can't sign new wingers with the midfield we  have as they  would just be wasted and have to spend their time tracking back  and covering. You need a strong central midfield for wingers to work. Just don't  understand  people banging on about wingers first. They would be wasted without  a strong central midfield.

They need to spend a f*** load of cash in Jan just to stay up ffs. What's 40m offset against hundreds of millions from the next to deal? Cretins

They don't think like that though - wouldn't be surprised to be completely underwhelmed once again.

Thing is though who'd want to sign for us,a club dicing with relegation.

It's been said before - the usual ilk we attract - money grabbing mercenaries.

Rinse and repeat.

Would probably help if you weren't playing 4 central midfielders like.

 

central midfielders who don't like to tackle might work in the dutch or French league but over here they just get steamrollered. I would look at players like Wijnaldum, Sissoko and De Jong as #10 withdrawn strikers rather than midfielders.

I've just spent 2 posts saying we need new CMs

 

Given up on Sissoko?

 

He's not been great recently but I still think the heart of the problem is centre midfield and down the spine of the side in general.

Never gets played CM which is odd

 

I think there would be doubts as to whether he would be tracking back enough when we don't have possession. That seems to be a problem with all our midfielders. Then again, the two players who can be trusted to defend in central midfield just get brushed aside.

No. I actually wouldn't be opposed to playing him next to a Capoue style DCM who was excellent at Toulouse with Moussa. Someone who's big, quick and can cover correctly, then sure would be great. But in this form and team I don't see how he works.
