Flip Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 1 minute ago, Flip said: Still hope we’ve got a defensive midfielder lined up to play next to him. I’m sure Shelvey and him won’t work. Bruno has done well when he has another defensive midfielder that can do most of the dirty work. If we arw replacing Cabaye now, we need to replace Tiote as well. This being said he could easily be the defensive midfielder in a ball dominant side. But we are not that yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlies Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I know its daft but it's seriously mad that this time last year we couldn't afford a loan fee for a Leicester part time player, now we're signing this lad who is rated as one of the best in his position. Its still hard to take in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we could afford it we just happened to have the worlds tightest billionaire owner. agree though, it should all start to sink in during this summer especially if we can stay up.

STM Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 We are making big boy signings. This is a move that Man City, Chelsea and Liverpool would make. Its the sort of move that Arsenal, Man Utd and Spurs would like to make but because they are such a mess they keep cocking up their transfer policies.

HaydnNUFC Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I think this is a top signing in every single department. Been desperate for a quality midfielder since Cabaye, vastly improves us, got age on his side, would get into a Man Utd, Spurs or Arsenal side and improve those. Plus from a marketing side as well. He's one good looking bastard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we are not that yet. What about sitting that bit deeper and having the legs of Joelinton and Willock ahead of him? I think we will persevere with the 3, for now. I also think Shelvey will start most games when fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1892er Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 The last time I genuinely thought we had a decent team was when we had Cisse, Ba and co. It's going to be awesome to watch a good NUFC team again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Joelinton’s the defensive midfielder isn’t he? When we I’ve seen him play he’s been brilliant at breaking up play. He was fantastic against Man U. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emotic Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Makes me wonder how Eddie is going to line up in midfield, especially in a 4-3-3. Joelinton - Shelvey - Bruno? Shelvey is undroppable in his eyes, and yet offers zero protection to his backline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t really protect the centre backs, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 1 hour ago, Cronky said: If I have a worry, it's that. Premiership players are generally stronger and referees are more lenient with challenges. He might end up losing the ball in dangerous situations. I'm sure Our Eddie will have a word with him about that. Our Eddie telling Bruno Guimaraes not to lose the ball in dangerous situations. Brilliant.

ToonAbroad Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Was also wondering if having a fellow Brazilian alongside him can help Joelinton even more too in the middle. Can only be a good thing for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peder Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 The problem is Shelvey and how he use him. He is an shitty DM and cant work for shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emotic Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Guimares is the very definition of a ball-winning, deep-lying playmaker. In an ideal world, he replaces Shelvey and another midfielder comes in to run onto through balls and advance the play into the box. Get Aaron Ramsey in on loan and Joelinton - Guimares (sitting deeper) - Ramsey will easily see us safe. Look at that chart a couple pages back and you will know that Shelvey should never be a starter for a Premier League club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 There's not really much to debate. It will be Shelvey, Joelinton and Bruno in midfield. They will defend as a team and attack as a team. By the sounds of it, we have become instantly better at both attacking and defending by signing this guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willock has a place in this team based on the Leeds game and his time here last season. He will be an option from the start in certain games. Especially if we’re away from home and/or looking to play on the counter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I would imagine Bruno will take Shelvey's place with Joe on the left and Willock/new player on the right but I've never really understood Shelvey's role in the side anyway, so Howe may still see a place for him. On the right of a 3 Shelvey should have more time on the ball buy we'd still be lacking goals from midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's good enough is another question, but he's still barely past his teens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 If you think Shelvey is getting dropped, you haven't been paying much attention. He's been the first name on the teamsheet for Howe and arguably one of our best players since Howe came in. The time to bin Shelvey is coming but that one's for the summer. It will be Shelvey, Joelinton and Bruno. Joelinton might move back into the number 8/10 role though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
