DeAndre Yedlin (now playing for Inter Miami)


Recommended Posts

Fuck yeah! Super stoked to have a regular USA international at Newcastle. And for those who rightly think he's not the best out there, I would tell them at least it's not Jozy Altidore.

 

I actually think he will be great in the championship and think he could definitely develop into a decent enough premier league side back in the future. He's a bit of a fucking idiot with his red cards but janmaat just as bad in that regard anyway. Darryl was always going to leave and this, for me, is a very exciting replacement.

 

Really pumped for this one. Bring on Saturday!

Good luck to him, he's a little younger than Janmaat, obviously wants to be here, obviously raw and needs work, fortunately we now have the coaching set up to be able develop talent. Despite the reservations others have expressed, I think we have done well to fill the hole Janmaat's departure has created immediately.

was very good in the world cup, now i know gary breen was also superb during a world cup, but he's worth a shot. In the right system with the right coaches he may be just what we need. Danny Simpson looked great in this league so theres no reason he can't. God Bless America

No opinion on him one way or the other but the weapons-grade macktracking has been fantastic!

 

17/08/16 "C'mon Moysie, sign him up"

 

And engaging macktracking in.....First gear........Second gear.....Third gear.....TURBO NITRO!

 

24/08/16 "sh*te anyway, found his level"

 

Next week - the conclusion of why Kone is the best and, simultaneously, worst defender in safc's history.

Sounds a bit ropey defensively, but hopefully that won't cost us much at this level. Van Aanholt wasn't the greatest defender last time round but he was good going forward. Hopefully this lad's pace will scare the shit out of championship defenders.

Started life as a forward/winger at the club where I coach. Got moved into right-back while at the Sounders mainly as an exercise in risk aversion. He's been getting incrementally better at the position but still has some deficiencies.

 

I saw a few pages back someone bemoaning his lack of end product. That's really not an issue. When attacking he gets behind defenders and can pick out a player in the box. He's much less wasteful than any wide player I've seen in a Newcastle shirt for a number of years.

 

Obviously he's fast as fuck, which is a blessing and curse. He likes to get forward and 4 times out of 5 he has the pace to get back into position. However, that 1 in 5  where he can't get back into position can fuck you.

 

Positioning in general has been his one major flaw. It's understandable because he's been learning a position that perhaps isn't natural to him... but he's getting better at it. Hopefully he gets it nailed down soon because I worry that relying so much on his pace will cause him problems if/when he picks up his first major injury. If he slows down he's not got much to fall back on at this point.

 

Potentially a good signing long-term. Definitely capable of being a starter in the Championship. He's going to look like Daniel Alves. He tore up MLS, which is very similar to the Championship in many ways.

Apart from the shit hair and shit first name, I wish him all the best and hope he can improve on his last season defensively. If he can produce what Janmaat did in the final third and have the pace to get back and cover, then we're onto a winner here, at least in this division.

Never read any of those interviews as they are just full of meaningless platitudes - probably scripted for them anyway.
