Newcastle United just casually beating AC fucking Milan to a signing. 

 

No big deal.

 

 

 

The whole thing has been weird at their end, because they never had the money. We never actually had to beat them to anything.

 

We're hardly paying a crazy price either, considering his age, experience and pedigree.

My worry is we lack serious pace at the back, we need to play higher up the pitch to squeeze the opposition and to push teams back. I don’t want us playing deep anymore and looking to bypass the midfield or get sucker punched by the press of the opposition because we are too deep.

We did this fine against arsenal

He’s not slow man!!

I would disagree, it’s took him since Jan to get here (assuming he signs)…

They are a possession team not a press team and to be fair, they were dreadful that day.

I'll give you a top 10, but I'll have them in tiers:

 

Tier 1: Maldini, Baresi, Gentile, Scirea,
Tier 2: Nesta, Cannavaro, Cabrini
Tier 3: Costacurta, Bergomi, Burgnich

No Pistone? ?

Just seemed arrogance on the part of their media to me. Seemed to just think he’d rock up at Milan regardless of money.

We made them dreadful and have speedy attackers that didn't get a sniff

New money upsetting the old school status quo applecart. Lovely.

Feels like another Bruno level of signing this one. Maldini wanted him and he knows a bit about defending. Buzzing.

 

Yeah, absolutely. The fact Maldini was so high on him, is a heck of a good sign.

I always liked Ciro Ferrara for Juventus. Over 500 appearances for clubs and country.

It's not even like they had a bid accepted and we came in and gazumped them. They were just there making a bunch of noise.

 

It took us ages to agree a fee, because we weren't throwing money around ourselves, and were intent on paying a reasonable fee, which I think we did.

 

Really happy with our approach to the signing.

Because we played deep and hit them on the break which I don’t mind, but we have struggled for goals and possession and that’s because we play so deep. That needs to change which I’m sure it will, but we need pace at the back to play higher up, that’s common sense.

We didn't play deep at all in that game ???
