KaKa Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 5 minutes ago, Ikon said: Or just go for a LB that isn’t injured as much. Yeah ... Tierney is right up there though. Really high calibre signing in that position. And still just 25 years old. I imagine his price is reflecting the injury problems and so he can be had for really good value, hence the interest. The medical would have to be rigorous though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Tierney’s a permacrock if Arsenal don’t want him we don’t. This is the guy for us at LB. https://football-italia.net/newcastle-united-keen-to-snap-up-monzas-carlos-augusto/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is very very good defensively and attacking. I’d be surprised if Targett is still here tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just been off form due to the injury layoffs. Don't think Burn at left back is going to be a thing after this season and so Targett will be solid depth.

STM Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 It's important to remember that when playing, Tierney is probably top 3 right backs in the league. He's absolutely class at both ends. Of course his injury record is a concern but surely out medical department will do a risk assessment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 If we sign Tierney, Targett will want out. He might need convinced to stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Tierney, if he could stay fit he would be an excellent signing. He can also play in a back 3 which would help us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that Targett never really seemed to get back to full fitness, as he had setbacks after he first came back. Needs a good pre season to get back on track.

Between the Prem, Europe, and the two domestic cups there'll be plenty of games to go round, especially as you wouldn't want to be running Tierney into the ground playing him all the time.

Geordie Ahmed Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Tierney is quality but the injury record suggests we should stay clear Especially as LB is a position you don't really want to rotate too much (for Europe and Cups fair enough) and Howe has spoken about liking a settled defence, an injury prone player makes that difficult Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon_Geordie Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Tierney fits the bill, continuing to play a back 4 which reverts to a 3 when Tripps gets forward. Tierney is well versed as a Left Centre Halve also. Depending on the price, he's a definite upgrade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 We can’t afford To make mistakes in the market as acknowledged by the ownership, so why would we take a risk on someone with such an injury record. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
