Hanshithispantz Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I just don't get it. The only thing I can think is that Rafa cannot stand his distribution. He's not looked great for a while now but he's a safer bet than Sels and Darlow you'd imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 With Elliot still being injured, Sels looking incredibly shaky and Rafa seemingly not favouring Darlow, loaning Krul out seems mental. Hope its being done to prolong his Newcastle career though as I like Krul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Gap year for Krul then. He's our best keeper but not by much, remember only too well how his form dipped massively after the 5th season, not the only one and there were obvious reasons for it but he's been bang average for the last 3 years imo. Better than Elliot, Darlow and Sels? Yeah, but there's not that much in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 It seems that he has not been the same player since that shoulder injury but then he has hardly had any quality coaching in the last few years either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope its being done to prolong his Newcastle career though as I like Krul. Darlow has done well enough when he's had the gloves, so has Elliott. With Selz there as well that's more than enough for this division. Much though I like Krul, if he moves on it might be best for both sides at this point.

Wallace Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I have not been especially enthused by any of the players we have signed or are rumoured to be signing. Obviously Ritchie has come in and impressed as has Hayden so I hope others do as well and that we find one or two gems. The media keeps going on about us having the best squad but that is being dismantled as the days go by. Obviously those players don't want to be here and their attitude would be questionable if they have to stay but I don't see the squad we look like being left with as being particularly superior to other Championship clubs especially those that are promotion contenders. I just hope Rafa can work his magic on them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ElCid Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Aye, Krul would be my No. 1 Got to say we have to have faith in Rafa but I am left a little bit puzzled by some of the signings and some of the players he has/is shipping out. Prime example is Krul who is a far superior keeper than Sels and yet we appear to be loaning Krul out and paying over 4 million for Sels - just doesn't make sense.

KaKa Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Bentaleb had some good moments at Spurs. Another left footed centre mid would be good. Would really send Colback to the latter areas of the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still the best keeper we have but I'll not lose any sleep about losing a keeper with serious deficiencies if it also gives the likes of Darlow experience to become better. Darlow is only 2.5 years younger than Krul and the same age as me. He is no child learning the game. He is a fully developed adult who been around a fair bit and experienced the English game for many years now without ever standing out in the way Krul had done by the same age. There is just no evidence he has anywhere near the same talent. Rob Elliot showed significantly more than him last season. I will essentially be shut out from watching matches until we (lord-willing) procure promotion once more, so I have no idea of Sels' ability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I wouldn't loan Krul out if he's fit. He may have said he's leaving for free if he doesn't get a loan out, the year extension is a way to grant him his wish but still ensure we have him contracted in the summer, by which time the landscape may have changed, he might have had an awful season at Ajax, we might still be in the championship or we might be back in the PL. He is, by a long way our best keeper but if he doesn't want to play in this division then a loan with a contract extension is the best we can do.

Dan Gleebals Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Have not done the maths but our squad will be smaller at this rate then when we started. Concerned we are replacing to many players with Championship quality - not many feel like they will make the step up shiuld we get promoted and we are back to a squad full of shit on long term contracts.

Ikon Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Essential that we have attacking fullbacks if we plan to play with Ritchie on the right (his best position) and a right footed on the left. Who knows, we could be signing a left footed wide player and if not it would still work well if we have pacey players providing width Having a pacey player like Yedlin will probably open it up a bit for Ritchie i reckon, as well as giving us another dimension. Hope Yedlin can do well at this level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
