Phil Thompson raving about Merino on Soccer Saturday now.

 

:thup: nice to see he's getting noticed

Think Thompson actually likes us tbh. Especially compared to the rest of the lot on the panel he shares.

 

Yeah just seen this as well, being pretty reasoned about our performance today too: http://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/teams/newcastle-united/11039204/newcastle-2-1-stoke-thompson

Really impressed with his tackling and everything really. We don't play possession football so much but he actually feels ideally suited, can pass out of trouble when needed, can connect the long passes, has vision going forward and can also win the ball back.

He's simply awesome.  He's skillful, good passing, he's clever with and without the ball, great positioning and awareness.  What makes him standout from a typical flair player is that he's hardworking and brags.  He always make himself available for a pass, and never hesitate going into a tackle or challenging a header.  A perfect blend, how lucky we are

Thompson actually comes across that he actually watches a lot of football unlike most others who just turn up on Saturday and don't bother outside of that.

 

:lol: so true.

 

Anyway, Merino is absolutely immense  :)

how many appearances left for us to buy him? should set up a countdown.

 

15 left I think. He came on against Spurs late on and has started our other 4 league games.

 

Assuming he doesn't get injured or dropped, he'll be our player before the end of the year.

 

needs adding to the thread title.

Does "appearance" mean a certain number of minutes per game though? Like could he come on in one game in the 92nd minute and it's an "appearance" towards the total? :lol:

(if so, is 15 mins enough from the Spurs game?)

 

I guess no one really knows, it was only a rumour from German media that it's 20 games too

A transfer cant be based on starts as a relatively young unknown entity to the league having to start 20 out of a possible 38 games in arguably the toughest league in Europe would be some going.   

 

May as well have no clause in as it's like Dortmund saying they dont want him to be sold.
