Our CBs have undoubtedly been shit but if you've look back at the goals we've conceded, a lot of the trouble has come from the full back areas. Ritchie, Krafth and Manquillo (although i like him) just haven't stopped balls into the box or given any sort of protection at all. Couple that with a pedestrian midfield offering no protection as well and we've been on a hiding to nothing. I'm happy we're targeting CBs but if we went into the rest of the season with no new CBs but new fullbacks on both sides and new CMs i'd still be confident of staying up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAINFIELD Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Greetings from Sweden to my peers in Newcastle (or wherever you are)! Your way of writing slang is entertaining to read, I wish I could get there one day. In Sweden, the school is based on the grammatically correct English - which no one in the whole world seems to use. And to be honest, which very few of us Swedes in the end still seem to master. Just want to get it said, so you do not think that a strange dude who is shit out of the nobility or the like appears. Anyway! Botman and Carlos - yes please! I think we are doing well with that renewal + Trippier. Regarding Todd Cantwell, I've always liked him. Do not know why. Maybe not the one we should rely on to do the job, but .. Aaron Ramsey .. Yes, why not. Always liked him too. But, the injuries make me a little questioning .. Milinkovic-Savic in Lazio, on the other hand. I want him! Jonjo, oh Jonjo. I actually like him. His way of delivering "sandwiches on the lip" (Swedish expression for ... precision, I think), distributing balls, etc., is something few in Newcastle master. I think with the right player around him, he would be several levels better. Then I would really like to see Dejan Kulusevski in Newcastle. I make a daring guess that you have'nt seen many seconds on Sweden's national team, but that guy makes my stomach jump as soon as he gets the ball. Anything can happen, he is intense, hard to face, hard to take the ball off, gets around and past where the hell he wants and above all, like ASM - unorthodox in his way. He does not seem to have a place at all in Juventus. Would love to see him in Newcastle! When it comes to strikers in general: Alexander Isak - I may be a little biased. But that guy has a psyche of steel. In his mind he is an old man in a young body. Has a calm that few have, reads the game very well and has proven that he can score goals. Teemu Pukki - A distinct goal scorer that I spit bile on last time. But after returning to the full use of my mind, I would more than like to see him in Newcastle. Edin Dzeko - No explanation needed here. Eden Hazard - Same here. Timo Werner - Does he even play? Would be perfect for us. Let him chill 85% percent of the matches, and when we get the ball he runs like hell. Then he scores. Easy game. I honestly no longer know what is considered logical or illogical recruits. But here's my "logical" lineup (I assume ASM and Wilson is gone for a while): Dubravka Trippier D.Carlos S.Botman Anyone / linesman Jonjo D.Van de Beek Willock Ramsey / Hazard Dzeko / Werner / Kulusevski And, If I may dream a little more! Dubravka (sees no reason to recruit a goalkeeper) Trippier D.Carlos S.Botman Digne Donny, De Jong, Willock Hazard, Vlahovic / Werner, Kulusevski Howay The Lads!

A common thing to say related to sport in Sweden. "Deliver right on time to the exact address without the recipient having to lift a finger", felt a little over-explained.
