Our last weekend League game was 23rd February, our next weekend League game is 13th April. I know there has been an international break and a lot of cup games, but that feels mental.

Used to be brutal just getting through one weekend with just the Nationwide league on because of internationals.

Genuinely think Perez is the last player I’d pick to thrive under Howe, like. He was tidy and obviously had talent but I’m not seeing him as a Howe player. Moussa Sissoko on the other hand. If Howe gets him when Pardew did, you’ve got an absolute demon on your hands

Yep. Perez did great for us anyway like some of the other players mentioned so not sure applicable anyway but if you go with him I have to doubt where he would play under EH.

As Tonali approaches 50 games for us, who is your favourite Newcastle player to have played less than 50 games for us?

 

I loved Rondon for the season he was here

Really liked Helder—half a season I think (2000 ish)

Sissoko was gonna be my shout as well. Fast, strong, athletic, direct. Loved the Pezzler but he's not strong enough for Howe. Jonas is a good shout on account of the stamina. Defensively Colo would've been a good fit too.

 

If Carroll wasn't destined to be a crock then he'd have done extremely well under Howe as well I think.

The premise of the question is who would flourish, so I don't think its right to choose people who did so despite playing for us in the Ashley area.

 

Enrique, Jonas, Sissoko, Ayoze, Carroll and Cabaye did flourish for us, and bar Jonas all got big moves away from us due to how well they played.

 

So far I think Townsend is the best shout.

But Townsend was excellent in his spell?

 

I thought Sissoko was a good shout based on your parameters. He had his moments but was ultimately a disappointment imo. 

 

For players who never really cut it at all, maybe he could've unlocked Mitrovic's potential? He started okay but never really got a look in under Rafa then became a goal machine elsewhere.

Are we putting an Ashley era player into the current squad or putting Howe back into the Ashley era here?

 

Of the former then Remy would be in with a shout of the golden boot but I'll die on the hill with a flag saying HBA. 

 

If the latter then it would be Perez or Sissoko.

 

Wildcard, Mbemba would have been interesting under Howe, really thought he was going to be the part for us
