Keggy_Keagal Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 As others have said squad player who can do a job, don't see him getting in above Shelvey and Hayden tho. Could well indicate the bye bye for Matty Longstaff mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinho lad Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Based on only short highlights of him, he looks decent on the ball with decent passing. Similar to Shelvey, and therefore this sounds like a masterstroke by Brucey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appears he got fed up of being shunted out wide and wants to play centrally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Even though Ashley's NUFC are utter shit, and that Burnley are a 'good' club in terms that they are punching above their weight, I think he'll be happy that's he's coming here - especially on a 4 year deal!

You can still be a good passer without hitting long/hollywood balls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 He’s going to be no different to all the other bang average non entity midfielders we have had over the years. Can’t wait. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 These are the types of players I expected Bruce to get to put his stamp on things. Bang average and no great improvement on what we already have. If anything we need a dynamic midfielder, striker, right back and left back and sell some of the shit. I get there will have to be concessions made due to last few months etc (£100 million TV money still) but aim fucking higher, rather give Longstaff extended run. If we just want to maintain our current position or fight relegation a little bit you don't need to bring him in just keep the mediocre shit we already have.

mrmojorisin75 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 He'll still be here Colback-style in 4 years time cause when Bruce eventually gets jettisoned we'll not be able to get him off the books. Still he'll be good for the champo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Tbh we have a fair bit of that now with Atsu, Saivet, Lazaar, Yedlin?, Murphy, Muto. We can add Krafth, Hendrick, Smalling etc to that as well is signed along with Gayle, Ritchie and Joelinton in next 2 years. I got the signing players with potential as long as we also bought decent older players but we have saddled ourselves with some shit younger players that haven't developed or now older average players we won't be able to shift Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
