WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Don't reckon any of the numbers for the players that were here before the summer will change - with the exception of Mitro maybe getting 9 - tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 How many left footed attacking LB's do we have? Every single play (almost) started on our right hand side last season which made it too easy for the opposition to press and nullify us. I like Dummett defensively but he just can't handle a football. We are gonna push teams back more now compared to last season and having that extra attacking option through a LB in the last third will enable us to get another player in the box. One with end product providing width as well. You don't always need both full backs attacking. It's about balance and I think Rafa sees it like that. The players we have in front of full backs should make the difference attacking It's about the fact Dummett can hardly control a football tbh Not so bothered about attacking part personally, but having a solid LB who is comfortable on the ball would be great IMO. But like i said i do think what we have is enough to get through the division. Fairly confident if Dummet is terrible that we have enough cover that won't be. I would rather sign further up the pitch. We have signed 4 defenders already if include Hayden. Need wing / attacking options Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 If they decided between themselves, does that mean Mitro is number 9? Would be my guess. I hope so. Most important thing is that the two players agreed on it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Speaks highly of Charnley FWIW. There's a hell of a lot of PR going on, in a good way. Benitez must have had a word about improving fan relations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Winger is priority IMO. I think that is what Rafa was talking about, when he said "balance". Aye, when he mentioned to the press for the first time a few days ago i think he meant a CM who can score too but Diame seems to have that covered.

nufc4eva Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 If they decided between themselves, does that mean Mitro is number 9? Mitrovic probably knocked Gayle out and took it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionOfGosforth Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Bit surprised we weren't in for McCormack, not like we couldn't afford him. Basically guarantees goals at this level. After Gayle who I think will do well, not sure about our main striker options, Mitrovic suspended for 4 and not proven (at any level really), Armstrong still seems to be a year or two away. I hope Gayle hits the ground running. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Let's just spend money on Will Hughes. Maybe we still have an interest in the Anderlecht winger or maybe some Spanish on horizon. We have now signed a lot of British players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnufc Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 If they decided between themselves, does that mean Mitro is number 9? Didnt he say last season he wants to earn it and not just get it given to him? Hasnt earned it yet. No way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnufc Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 He said: “I want to earn the No 9. It is a big responsibility at this club. We know who was No 9 before, and you need to earn that. You earn it by scoring big goals in games like Sunday [vs the mackems]. For now, I am happy with 45. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Anita, Gamez, Dummett, Haidara, Mbabu and Clark. We will be fine. Only Haidara is a natural left back out of them, and he's a perma crook and the jury is still out on him even when he is fit. We've got a lot of cover, but not one specialist left back that I'm happy with, which is why I think it's one of the most important signings we could make.
