Why does he have to be mobile at all? The other two midfielders should be mobile. Who says all midfielders should be mobile? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 1 hour ago, The Prophet said: It'll be interesting to see how Howe wants to set up and whether it's with two 'attacking midfielders' as he is now or more of a double pivot. Be amazed if it’s not 4-4–1-1 with both centre mids being loose all rounders. 10 minutes ago, LV said: I’d love Doku here Would be received a la ASM.

From the little I’ve seen he likes to hold onto the ball and isn’t the most consistent. Just had a look and he’s been injured a fair bit this season n all.

nbthree3 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 From the Ashworth article https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10665443/Dan-Ashworth-wait-NOVEMBER-taking-Newcastles-sporting-director.html Meanwhile, the club’s scouting team will hold a series of meetings this week to organise summer targets. We understand positions up for discussion are goalkeeper, centre-back, central midfield, winger and striker. The goalkeepers mentioned include Arsenal’s Bernd Leno, West Bromwich Albion's Sam Johnstone, Manchester United's Dean Henderson and Chelsea's Kepa Arrizabalaga, although the latter is seen as a loan option. RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol, the 20-year-old Croatian, will have no shortage of suitors but is expected to be part of discussions this week, as will Bournemouth’s Lloyd Kelly. Midfielders under consideration are said to include Brighton’s Yves Bissouma and Leeds star Kalvin Phillips, with wingers Brennan Johnson, of Nottingham Forest, and Bayer Leverkusen’s Moussa Diaby also on the list. In attack, meanwhile, Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Benfica’s Darwin Nunez, Leverkusen’s Patrik Schick and Alexander Isak of Real Sociedad are among the targets.

When you consider where we’ve been as a club in recent times, looking at that list of strikers and not viewing it as absolute fantasy feels outrageous ?

Disco Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Only decent youngish keeper I can think of who doesn’t play for a monster club is Unai Simon but Bilbao have a different pull obviously. How good is Etienne Green? Still got Woodman lurking too but he obviously wasn’t great at the start of the season. I’d be happy enough with Dubravka as #1 again next season, plenty areas higher priority for me if budget is £50-75m + sales. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leno and Johnstone arent good enough. Henderson I think is likely over rated based on his Sheff Utd season as he's not really impressed since though his opportunities have been few really. Kepa is the best of those 4 but probably not a fit for what we'd want. Agree with Disco Simon would be a great shout.
