BonesJones Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Do we think the medical is already done, and that it's just the announcement we're actually waiting on? As nice as the announcement is, I just hope everything is wrapped up for obvious reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Milan could have asked that we delay it for their own accounting reasons too. Pretty sure they did that with Botman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 It's a rare attempt at journalism from him. It's an interesting read, even if he is trying to cover up his previous nonsense in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 This was the bit I loved. As basically what I’ve been saying all summer… “Intriguingly, Newcastle were not looking for a No 6 or a No 8 as had been assumed. Indeed, in conversations over the last few days there is something “retro” in the way Howe wants Newcastle’s midfield to play next season. You might even call it old fashioned. In an era where there’s all sorts of tags and descriptions for midfield players, Newcastle wanted in old money what would have simply been called a centre midfielder; an all rounder. The idea is Newcastle’s midfield will be fluid, not rigid. There will not be precise roles or positions, but rather a unit that works together in tandem, with each player shifting to different areas of the pitch, depending on the situation. There is the hope that Tonali’s arrival will free up Bruno to have more of an impact in the final third, but Tonali will also go forward and impact play in this area too. Freeing up is a loose term, but what it will give Newcastle is two ball players in the middle of the pitch, making it far harder for teams to shut them down. It brings a myriad of different options and Howe does not want his team to be too predictable in their patterns of play.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I think the all-round midfielder has come back in with the likes of Man City TBH. Even though Rodri sits deeper, his job isn't mainly to tackle people in front of the defence. If the team presses, you can't have a CM that sits back. And especially if you play a 4-3-3 and not a double pivot, it's a very difficult role for a single defensive midfielder. I have found it very interesting though, it's hard to get out of the mindset that a DM is needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danh1 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 From reading that it makes me question whether we will target a more attacking midfielder after all. If we can get a right winger and left back I’d be delighted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before Tonali, I thought we needed both an AM or winger, but think he 'frees up' Bruno a bit more so either a winger or AM is fine. The likes of Willock, Joelinton and Longstaff need to start pushing 8 goals a season though which they should be capable of the way the pop up in the box.

It’s a massive weakness in the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
