HawK Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 He'd look better with Hayden next to him rather than Shelvey, too. Shelvey was a complete passenger and a liability yesterday I thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Several links mentioning Rafa and Everton want him, even though he hasn't been at his best lately i would still think we should keep him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should keep him now as the only other options in midfield are Hendrick and Matty Longstaff. However, I fully expect us to bring in much better midfielders, in which case if we can get Digne as part of the deal we should 100% go for it.

Yorkie Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 The ManU game suggested there's hope for him yet and he's always seemed like one of the good guys, so I'd be sad to see him go despite him obviously being mostly rubbish for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, his interview after the match where he stuck up for Joelinton shows that he's a good guy, and very switched on. I just wish he could find a way to get out of the treacle he's always running though, then he'd be a great backup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I think he's more suited to a Rafa formation tbh, I think he's a bit slow-footed to play a pressing game effectively. If Howe fancies someone else more, then I would be happy to see him go to Everton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafa may want him and get him but how long will Rafa be able to hold on? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Pilgrim Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 In the program for the Spurs game he gave an interview and talked quite candidly about having depression and how that has affected his form after a bad injury. Seems to me though that he wasn’t very quick in the first place and his first proper injuries robbed him of the pace he had, so now he’s less effective.

HawK Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 It's pretty hard to fulfill homegrown restrictions with players trained at the club who can actually do a job as a squad player, he's worth a lot more to us than any other club tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicane Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) £1m I know, I know. But for that pittance we're better off just keeping him around as cover for the cover for 6 months. Edited January 8, 2022 by Chicane Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
