Twinport53 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Don’t need him Absolutely. A player that makes most passes, tackles, headers, interceptions etc etc is definitely not needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Like everyone else I love this kid but I do have a sight concern over his lack of athleticism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Bilbao want him if we go down apparently. He could probably do better I think. Hope it doesn't come to that... Bilbao can suck a dick! I wouldn't take any pleasure in seeing him play for a club of their lowly stature is that a joke? Football would be much better if every team had the same ethos and were built like them. They are a fantastic club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altamullan Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 We should absolutely have a “Geordies only” policy when it comes to signing players. Imposing restrictions that other clubs aren’t limited by. Fabulous strategy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 He really does look like one of our few Premier quality footballers. No one could hold the ball under pressure all night until he came on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 He and Atsu seem to have a connection between them on the pitch. Gayle's header, from Atsu's cross, I think was destined for Merino, who was charging into the box having spread it wide in the first place. It comes in seriously fleeting moments, but there's PL quality in the side. Just here and there. Badly need it to come to the fore in the coming games.

HaydnNUFC Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Outstanding when he came on. He's so good, man. Only gripe with today is not bringing him on 5 or 10 minutes earlier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, in the two games versus Arsenal & City, he has genuinely looked like he could be playing for the opposition. A classy player and a pleasure to watch. Hope he's here for years.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Again during the second half he had 2 City players around him and rather than just try and head the ball away when it came towards him, he jumps up, controls the ball with his chest, brings it down and lays it off all in seconds. I love it when a player has a certain aspect of their game that it quintessential theirs and this is now becoming his trademark. He was very good when he came on, him and Atsu. We need to build a team around this fella and he needs better players around him for him to shine even more. I think Rafa is managing him correctly because the intensity of the league could effect him. I expect him to be much more up to speed next season.

Gallowgate Toon Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I hope his showing the other day is a sign that he's back to fitness. Most complete footballer we have in the squad by an absolute mile, IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I think Rafa is managing him correctly because the intensity of the league could effect him. I expect him to be much more up to speed next season. Rafa may have learned something from his recent injury. I do think that a lot of players who now start playing Premiership football at a young age seem to suffer as a result. (eg Wilshere, Ramsey) Perhaps particularly midfield players. This lad is key to our survival and we need to save him for the important games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
