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?

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...
