Segun Oluwaniyi Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Selling Mitrovic and bringing in someone like Nahki Wells (Huddersfield may not sell, but I like the player quite a bit and think he could perform in the Premiership) would be very good business, imo. Mitro is still young, has a decent reputation, and performs for his national team, so you would think there would be good offers for him. The central midfield is something that needs addressing not so much for this season ( I believe this will right itself when Shelvey returns), but the next one, if NUFC is assuming that promotion is a probable outcome. Imo, none of the players in those positions are ones I would trust to perform at the higher level. Colback and Tiote are average, Hayden is young, Diame is underwhelming, and Shelvey's abilities may not cover his liabilities at that level. This entire section of the team needs to be revamped, and it would be wise to start now, while players can bed in and adjust. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
relámpago blanco Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 CM needs sorting now, we are crap without Shelvey and we can't rely on him staying fit for the reminder of the season as it could derail our promotion push. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 CM needs sorting now, we are crap without Shelvey and we can't rely on him staying fit for the reminder of the season as it could derail our promotion push. I haven't watched much outside of highlights, obviously, so I defer to people at the matches if things have deteriorated that much. Just from a perspective of the squad, it is sorely lacking in the players that can actual possess the ball and do something progressive with it. There is a lot of space to take advantage of at this level, and still there is a struggle for creativity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Robbie Brady Not joking, he'd be perfect for us for the rest of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Robbie Brady Not joking, he'd be perfect for us for the rest of the season. He's a left footer playing down the left, which is a good start. We're full of inverted wingers right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Good footballer is Brady but it would really depend on where Rafa intends to play him. If he's going to be a winger then I'd be concerned about us signing another wide player who's technically gifted but doesn't really have much pace. Ritchie kind of has that covered. If Rafa thinks he's defensively sound enough to play LB then yeah, he'd be a quality signing. Rafa doesn't seem to like out and out wingers so we need our full-backs to provide width. Yedlin and Brady would be a hell of a full-back duo going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I'm encouraged by the names we're being linked with. Only those that are unrealistic are the ones moaning. Cleverly, Delph and Loftus-Cheek mentioned in CM - all huge upgrades on Colback, with the first 2 having more top level experience than Hayden. Brady and Snodgrass for width - either would be a creative upgrade on Gouff. Think Brady is more realistic Snodgrass will surely have PL teams sniffing as he's proving he can produce even in a really poor PL team. My only concern is that it's a bit quiet on the #10 front? I think it's a position we need strengthening the most with Diame at AFCON and Perez way, way out of form. I'm pretty much certain Rafa knows what we need and by the end of January I think we'll all be happy with the recruitment again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 He did, unless he wasn't credited for it due to some deflection or something. Aye - I remember clearly thinking the Palace game might be Pardew's last if we lost and that Aarons had come in and performed superbly to help grab a draw.

triggs Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Love Robbie Brady. Would probably play him left back if we bought him because as Shak said he isn't that quick. Could also do a job in centre mid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're talking about Mbemba I thought he looked pretty good, then he had a couple of games where he made mistakes and Rafa dropped him. The same could have happened to Lascelles tbf.
