AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Been impressed by Maguire in the little spells I've seen, not much idea if he's good enough to be our highest-level defensive signing though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Maguire has had a good spell and been commended for it on MotD. He was bound to start getting linked here and there; doubt there's any real substance to that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchie Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 If we're raiding Hull, can we at least get Andrew Robertson to replace Dummett? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Not sure what people are expecting us to sign in the summer like. We're not going to spend £30-40m on a world class centre-back as a newly promoted club, even with Rafa and that sort of money available to spend. A reliable, solid, experienced mid-table level Premier League centre-back is perfect this summer imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Exactly. You know whoever it is will probably play the best football of their career under Rafa anyway. You just need someone with the basic solid materials and right approach/attitude. Shawcross would obviously be perfect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinport53 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Ron, you've been shovelling the Shawcross shit for the best part of a decade. Give it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Given Ron's years-long infatuation with Shawcross, it'd almost be a shame for him not to end up here at some point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Shawcross is perfect for us. He'd have been our best defender by a mile every year since 2011-12, and would have been a class partner for Coloccini the 2-3 years before that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Ron, you've been shovelling the Shawcross shit for the best part of a decade. Give it up. We probably wouldn't have gone down twice in that time with him in the team, either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 What, because I think he's a good, not great, defender that would improve us instantly without costing the earth? We've been buying central defenders completely unsuited to English football for over a decade now and he's the attainable antithesis to that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I'd actually love to see Shawcross in a Toon top, just for Ron basically. In all seriousness, he's a very good all-round CB at PL level and would be a great buy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 That's just the bastardised use. It's certainly used in that context in football but that's not the actual meaning of the word. Fair, but the English language exists to be bastardised and there's plenty of terms that exist purely within football vernacular. I've got to say I can't remember hearing the word used in its original definition in my entire life. Even FM only uses in in the context of a player that's played for many clubs Never heard another use than that in my 27 plus years of life so far.

Hhtoon Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Isn't a journeyman boxer someone with an average record? I've always thought of it as both but wouldn't call say Remy a journeyman even though he's played for nearly a different team over the last 5 years.

simonsays Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I think in footballing terms at least both definitions are required - Steve Claridhe being the archetypal journeyman footballer who has played for loads of clubs at all levels and always been bang average.

Superior Acuña Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I've always assumed 'journeyman' meant a (probably average) player plays who plays at loads of clubs - e.g. Wayne Routledge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
