Willow Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 where would Samaris even play if we did get him? Murphy Merino Shelvey Ritchie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Get Samaris and that's our midfield sorted. We'd be a keeper, striker and left-back away from being sorted imo. Would prefer a striker before we go for Samaris mind but do agree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Like the fact we’re getting another young talent in; Rafa’s seemingly angling for more unpredictability and energy. Places lots of responsibility on Shelvey, mind. Goalkeeper and 10 are where we need experience the most. A more established striker would be good too, but I have a feeling we’ll go for someone a little less known again. I reckon we’ll get the numbers in, it’s really about quality now. ‘keeper, 10, striker and another winger will be our lot, IMO. Doubt we’ll shift much.

Guest Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 where would Samaris even play if we did get him? Murphy Merino Shelvey Ritchie Might see games against the top clubs where he sacrifices the 'number 10' and adds Hayden to that, pushing Shelvey further forward.

Kanji Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 His DM/Box to Box qualities I see him directly competing with Hayden. It's been said by the experts who know him on twitter that he's not the type to have rangy passing and creativity. Strong tackler, breaks up play, technically gifted, good passing - keeps play moving etc. All qualities I'd say make him ideal to partner next to Shelvey.

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I know we have been linked with the lad from Liverpool but I don't think we need another winger personally. AM, Striker and GK are obvious needs and we'd all like another LB but personally I'd like another CM as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I think there's no room at the inn for Samaris. Best plump the cash on a striker, GK and left back now. Also, can Ritchie and Murphy play on either wing? De jong may have a role to play too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Very happy with this signing to be honest, even though i haven't seen him but he seems like a talented young a player in a position where we need someone in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John P Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Plenty for #NUFC fans to be excited about with Mikel Merino. Can play as CB, DM, CM (Box to box type). Strong, athletic, very good passing. Heard #NUFC require creativity but Merino not of that type. Will help retain possession, make runs, link-up but not known for final pass. Merino to be someone who helps build play for Rafa more than anything. Smart passing, neat and tidy, keep game flowing in midfield at #NUFC. That's from the 442 Spanish journalist on Twitter. Sounds good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 We need a LB ahead of GK. A LB, attacking CM, and ST and I'll be chuffed. Sling Dummet and Colback and I'll be over the moon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Rafa must be rattled AF with another over the line. Sounds a promising signing. Hopefully can make DM his own. Probably resigned as soon as he heard. Touché. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Smith, Nicky Butt, Jack Colback. Briefly interluded by the late, great Tiote and Cabaye in his peak, that was probably one of the better centre-pairings we've had since before Emre and Parker.
