Guest NobbyOhNobby Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 If ASM and Alan Miron are fit, where does Lookman play? If he signs he'll be expecting to start based on that being why he's leaving RB. Can't see Bruce deviating from 5-2-2-1, so struggle to see how they all fit in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toptoon Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 If ASM and Alan Miron are fit, where does Lookman play? If he signs he'll be expecting to start based on that being why he's leaving RB. Can't see Bruce deviating from 5-2-2-1, so struggle to see how they all fit in Because we defend deep Almiron and ASM have to put an extra shift in covering more ground and will be more injury prone .....and also need rotating more with Lookman (hopefully) and also to a lesser extent Atsu. We need 4 decent players in these positions .... without ASM we have really been a lot poorer and the team has suffered. Lookman could be an excellent player for us coming in for ASM and Almiron when they are injured, need rotating, need resting, have run themselves into the ground, hit a poor run of form etc .... all three should get plenty of game time and Atsu as back up as well. ASM is our best and most important player imo and has missed nine games so far .... of those games we have lost 7 and drawn one of those games. Lookman will plug that gap and more .... if ASM pulls up again in one of our next games hopefully Lookman can help fill the void and if ASM or ALMIRON looks knackered we can put Lookman on rather than risk injuring them.

Away Toon Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I don't think there is very much proof that Lookman is a good player. Couldn't get a game at Everton and now cant get a game in Germany. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Very good player like. Guessing that’s Almiron or ASM benched unless he’s going to scrap the back 3 and go 4-2-3-1. Where's this confidence that Lookman is better than those coming from? He's barely played since he was a kid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 When do Newcastle sign bench warmers? Especially ones that would cost his fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as having both domestic loan slots available, they are also exploring whether they can bring in players from abroad on initial temporary deals with options to buy."

TRon Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Apparently Lookman has been criticised by his coach for not fulfilling defensive duties. I hope Bruce - or whoever is considering the move - is aware of this and believes he can instill the workrate needed in the modern game. I know Bruce was all chuffed about getting Ben Arfa then ended up getting rid because of his poor team play. Which every man and his dog knew about beforehand. Apart from Bruce.

Toon No9 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Lookman can be a good player. But we desperatly need a goalscorer. Can't see Lookman scoring more than a maximum of 4-5 in a season. Rather think we should go for Bowen. Who's gonna score the goals? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Seems a bit off if he hasn't been putting the yards in given how keen he seemed to go there, above all else. Wonder if the new coach just didn't fancy him much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren’t the same questions raised about ASM? I don't recall tbh. Never really noticed if he tracks back, but haven't heard any complaints so assume he must do. One thing is for sure, Almiron has the best work rate I've seen for a forward, we will miss that if Lookman is going to replace him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
