joeyt Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 A left back who'd played more than 50 games in Serie A for about £3million seems a good deal on paper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 To be fair I think it’s worth a shot at giving him another chance. I can’t really say he was massively disappointing when he did play for us, just seemed to have one of those games where the ball just kept bouncing away from him.

I can’t really say he was massively disappointing when he did play for us, just seemed to have one of those games where the ball just kept bouncing away from him. Where would he play? He's not going to replace Dummett, and seems even Manquillo is preferred as a RB which is our weakest part of the back four IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 He'll get a run off the bench at Forest to remind clubs he's match fit and available I bet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 He'll get a run off the bench at Forest to remind clubs he's match fit and available I bet. Wouldn't be averse to Lazaar-Shar-Fernandez-Sterry but I don't know if Rafa would agree Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Day Gadgie Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 My theory is that he grassed Shelvey in the “cous cous nonce” incident so Rafa banished him as he can’t be trusted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 What a shit squad. First think i thought when i looked at it, if we were called West Brom or something it would be more believable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Its a bit of a depressing list to read. I think back to my younger years when I often looked at the squad list and though so-and-so are the only players I'd like to keep if I was a manager with £xxxM (probably due to CM/FM ). There were always quite a few players I would like to keep. Today it is only 1 in Lascelles. The only others, if the imaginary budget does not allow for a full replacement, would be Dubravka and Shelvey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Shelvey & Dubravka are equally as good and as important to us as Lascelles imo. I don't know a goalkeeper I would/we could replace Dubravka with, his game is complete and he seems like a good man too. I like Oblak for AM, but that's the level we're talking for someone better than our goalkeeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 A few I'd have kept for squad depth/back-up, our issue is that they're currently guaranteed starters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Full squad list Atsu, Clark, Darlow, Diame, Dubravka, Dummett, Elliot, Fernandez, Hayden, Joselu, Kenedy, Ki, Lascelles, Lazaar, Lejeune, Manquillo, Murphy, Muto, Perez, Ritchie, Rondon, Schar, Shelvey, Sterry, Yedlin. I make it 13 PL level players. Not good players or great players, just good enough to be at a PL team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 We don't know if Muto or Schar are PL level players though. If you're including them I'd say you have to include Diame Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Would say Diame is comfortably PL standard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I would judge any player PL standard if we could find a Premier league buyer if we put them up for sale. I reckon Diame would find a taker, maybe Hayden as well from that list if the Brighton interest was solid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Of course Diame is PL standard. He was absolutely unreal during the second half of last season. He'll never recapture that sort of form and I wouldn't really want him first choice in an ideal world, but he's easily PL standard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Not convinced by Diame. He had a good 4 months but it’s out of keeping with his first year and a half and how he’s started this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dabe Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Not convinced by Diame. He had a good 4 months but it’s out of keeping with his first year and a half and how he’s started this season. He's played in the PL 7 seasons. He was good at Wigan and West Ham and was tremendous last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
