Wasn’t Konur exposed as just being a click bait rumour account the other week? People just take what he says as gospel due to the Blue Tick 

 

He's just a rumour merchant. No idea how he has such a large following.

It's a bloke who owns loads of commercial/domestic property around Whitley Bay/Tynemouth. See the motor all the time.

 

Aye.  That plate used to be on an Aston Martin iirc.

Don't think there's any chance Isak plays on the wing from the start atm.

 

The defensive side of the game wll be entirely new to him. 


Howe’s already said he’s played there in training, so it is something they’re working on. I think he’d be electric from the left in time and would still score plenty.

Surely not on our left side either. Our left side is pretty much as defensive as it gets. Dan Burn, a CB playing LB, Joe willock a pressing monster in LCM and Joelinton a midfield destroyer playing LW.

 

I do imagine the plan will be to move to a more balanced playstyle in the future though, playing a more attacking LB and moving Joelinton back into his best position which is in the midfield.

Where did he say this?

 

I just don't see it happening in the short-term. A lot of defensive work and running required. If that's the plan, I can see Howe giving him 15/20/30 minutes from wide before starting him there.

Yeah it’ll be interesting to see how Howe (ha) utilises his attacking options now he has a full deck of cards so to speak. I think there’ll be a tendency to go more attacking at home in due course.

Aye, I think it's pretty clear he's got a plan of some kind to play him there if everyone is fit.

 

Don't buy the defensive shift stuff either. ASM is hardly a workhorse, we simply shifted Joelinton's out of possession position last season to cover him when he didn't track back and ASM popped back into more of the LCM role. When ASM tucked in going forward then Joelinton would often make the outside run.

Don’t they want 100 million for him ?

 

That's what they're allegedly asking. Their hand isn't as strong now though. European football is looking highly unlikely and Diaby didn't make the World Cup squad. You'd think he'll move on in the summer, whether its to us or elsewhere. PSG are constantly inked too.
