Deuce Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 The London whining is so tedious. It’s glaringly obvious why it’s such a pull to many players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not disagreeing with that at all. Just referring to those players (well alright I’m only talking about one) who say they wanted to be anonymous then later place themselves in one of the least anonymous roles imaginable.

KaKa Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 1 hour ago, Matt1892 said: The issue with Adam’s is that he doesn’t offer any real improvement on the shortcomings of Longstaff, which is surely what we should be looking for in a first team replacement in his position. Adams is a 6, and not an 8. I was very impressed with him prior to his injury. He is incredibly quick, athletic and aggressive in his pressing and tackling and the guy's energy levels never dropped. What was most surprising about him though, was how decent he was with the ball. He got on the ball loads and was very good at progressing it with shorter passes in between the lines, to the players ahead of him. Someone is going to get a steal there when they pick him up. Think because he's been injured for a while, he's kind of been forgotten about. He looked a heck of a player IMO. Would not be surprised if Liverpool casually grab him somewhere in the middle of the summer and it is hardly talked about, and then when the season starts a lot of fans will be fuming.

He will be picking up a lot of the leg work that Longstaff does though as Bruno doesn’t have the engine to press at that high of a tempo from a more advanced position, unless we are changing formation to go with the double pivot of Bruno and Adams? We should be looking to sign a back up to Bruno and a better version of Longstaff that offers all of the work but more ability in the final third.

Jesse Pinkman Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 (edited) To be fair, I moved from Newcastle to London and London is a lot more exciting like. Always random cool stuff to do and the worlds best food on your doorstep. Feels like the centre of the universe here. Only major issues are a bit more crime and the house pricing is shocking but Prem players will be insulated from that.

It’s not quite the Knutsford-Wilmslow-Alderley Edge level of banditry though, next level robbery especially when euro away trips are on.

There's been talk of Bruno moving into the number 8 position to help unlock defences further up the pitch, as that is his preferred position too, but I guess it all depends on who we're able to get in midfield. If we are able to a really good number 8 then Bruno probably stays in the 6 position, however if we are able to get a really good 6 then we might move him up. I imagine that's how we'll be approaching the whole thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 These are professionals, just like in other fields. Some of them will be attracted to the glamour of a huge city for whatever reason - maybe they can be anonymous, maybe they want to do more exciting things all the time, maybe it's more convenient for their other business interests, who knows? But there will be others for whom that's not a pull. Bruno, for example, with his young family and his lifestyle - doesn't strike me as a guy who'd be concerned about London. I can't begrudge anyone wanting to live where they're comfortable. We have to do our best to do either or both of the following: find players who aren't interested in that lifestyle and/or show the ones who might be that they can make it work in Newcastle. Not everyone will fall in love with the club but there are plenty who just might. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the shouts for players are funny. Rodrigo ffs he’s no better than anything we have and wouldn’t be signed by any of the teams that finished in the top 6 of 7 so why would we be interested. Even for £3m squad player/3rd forward and if it doesn’t work out sell him for more? https://twitter.com/secondtierpod/status/1666777108272562176?s=61&t=kJE1AU_9T9TvzyV_ebeY8Q Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve lived there. It quickly becomes very tiresome as you get older. I’ve conducted supermarket transactions without one word being said between cashier and me. Commuting is horrendous. People are competitive and everything is about money and status. It takes well over an hour to get out of central London to anything resembling the countryside. I agree that millionaires will have a different experience but let’s not kid ourselves it’s the Fields of Elysium here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
