More reason to just go for a Sabitzer style 6-month loan deal for someone with no obligation. Where have you seen that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 So it begins. Other midfielders on Newcastle's radar to replace Tonali, who is facing a ban for breaking betting rules, include Manchester United and Scotland's Scott McTominay, 26, Everton and Belgium's Amadou Onana, 22, and Fulham and Portugal's Joao Palhinha, 28.

(The Athletic) I’ve read that article, it doesn’t say that. Just documents who could replace him. Article breaks it down into statistical fits, Saudi league players and PL options.

Ikon Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 (edited) To get to the "next level" i think we need more players with next level technical ability and end product. Hopefully without missing out on mentality and and physical ability too much. It will allow us being even more in control of games as well. Balance is key. Most important of all is the character and hunger too, like players that don't go missing. Consistency. Edited October 25, 2023 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 If it’s a ten month ban he doesn’t need replacing long term, a short term loan would be ideal, although I can’t see any club willing to loan us a top player for 6 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Onana would be great. I do think it's total overkill actually signing another CM though, don't see him being available on loan so probably a non starter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onana is a decent player with high potential, but for me any future CM signings need to either be a top class DM or a technical, creative and progressive CM. Think we have enough physical runners currently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we have enough physical runners currently. Yes I could get why we'd go for that, it would allow more options in different types of games. Onana would be a great loan but that won't happen and he's basically Willock X Joelinton so perhaps is also not necessary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 (edited) Our front 2 midfielders have to be on the high end physically, the press relies heavily on it. We can get away with a less physical more technical 6 like Bruno because of the physicality in front of him.. the current midfield functions more on the tactical integration and high physicality than good technical ability and I’m not sure that changes any time soon. Obviously the end goal is to have a front 2 of elite midfielders that can do it all, but that costs and we are some way yet from attracting the Bellinghams of the world.

The Prophet Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I don't think we need a technical number ten with the way we play. It's essentially the Klopp blueprint. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezzle Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 People talking like FFP isnt a thing this season?

The great thing about our manager is that he’ll figure something out Trippier playing inside could be an option - same with Tino Matt Ritchie with the odd minutes here and there Just to take us to Jan - the above is only if we are desperate - otherwise stick to the usual midfield group and we should get through Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athletic article is a waste of time Don't be so sure. I'd guess there was leeway for a January deal if a too good to turn down deal came along or necessity. Also remember our position 24/25 will be much improved from 23/24. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 We could just start using our squad a bit more. We've got Miley and Hall who are capable of covering in CM. If they're not good enough to help us to the top 4 then so be it, however it'll be good for the pair of them in the long run if they get some actual minutes on the pitch.

Menace Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 16 games until January. Quite a lot but with Willock + Anderson + Miley + Hall, we SHOULD be ok. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Were basically at the same place we where during the entirety of last season midfielders wise, however with an added Anderson being half decent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
