Dave Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I was actually fairly happy to see him trying to take players on. We need more of that, instead of safe passing around our own third. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Didn't help that we kept passing the ball behind him - kept killing his speed and ability to run at their full back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

louistoon Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Looked poor today. Some people have built him up to be something better than he is. Will improve though. Needs to be eased in rather than chucked in at left wing back in an important game. Wierd move from mcloon First game back in ages, give him a chance.

Paully Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 More conflicting reports of when his contract is up! From today's Ronniegill; Rolando Aarons Age: 20 Premier League Appearances 2015-16: 1 (3) Premier League Goals 2015-16: 0 The winger is entering the final few months of his current contract and, though he started the defeat at Watford, he will be pushed further down the pecking order following Townsend’s arrival. McClaren was keen for Aarons to gain experience out on loan earlier in the season but recurring injury problems put an end to that - and it is understood the Magpies want to extend Aarons’ deal. It remains to be seen whether he goes out on loan either before or after the deadline, but there remains a decent possibility that he will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes_End_Mag Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Would be idiotic to not give him a new contract. He needs to prove he can stay fit but he has a heap of talent. Could be massive for us in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 If you were him would you sign an extension? I know I wouldn't. Not only would he get more money as a free agent he'll likely end up somewhere where he'll get game time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leazes_End_Mag Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 He's done nothing to warrant a new contract. Neither had Collo over the last 18month but he still got one. Aarons has looked promising and talented in most of the appearances he has made for us. Im not saying we should hoy big money at him as he's done nothing to earn it but I definitely feel we would live to regret letting him go if we do.

Parsley Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 If you were him would you sign an extension? I know I wouldn't. Not only would he get more money as a free agent he'll likely end up somewhere where he'll get game time. He's not getting game time because he's injured all the fucking time. It's not like he's been readily available all season and McClaren's frozen him out (ie Thauvin). If anything, the fact that McClaren picked Aarons over Perez for the Watford game shows that he's still held in high regard despite his awful injury record. Aarons is obviously talented though and I'd be keen to keep him on the books under the right conditions. His injury record is a massive concern given his age though - if it persists, I'd be thinking about cutting him loose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Not a left back, so I can kind of excuse his idiotic tackle and the amount of time he was out of position. But I can't excuse how many times he tried to take his man on, only to get eased out of it and end up the wrong side of his marker. It happened almost every time he tried it. Kept getting outmuscled by Aaron Lennon and all. It was like watching a slightly larger Shane Ferguson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I did wonder yesterday whether we might have been more effective if him and Townsend had swapped positions. Seems a bit of a travesty that his last two outings have been at left back when he's clearly an attacking player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 The biggest thing for me is that he seemed to be disgusted at playing LB. He didn't seem arsed in the slightest and looked like he couldn't wait for the match to be over. I get that he's an attacking player, but at that age you want to be getting in the team when you have the chance by making sporadic appearances here and there, and making it hard for the manager to drop you. Did absolutely nothing to make the manager or fans take notice of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
