nufcjmc Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 11 minutes ago, RobsonsWonderland said: Top teams have interchangeable squads where players have to buy into rotation. We seem to be stuck at the stage wherever a first teamer drops to the bench it's instantly reported they will leave it unhappy. Which we then end up having a huge drop off from first team to squad players. Nowhere near having a bomb squad like Chelsea, where they are looking to sell internationals not even named in their 26. I think our balance isn't quite right yet but this is partly due to where we are on the clubs journey and the scale of the rebuild from the ashley years rather than a full criticism of the club as it is now. The need to reinvest in the squad is always going to be there players want to leave/ players become too old/ players form drops off to the point they need to be moved on this churn isnt a Newcastle thing its football in general. In order to avoid "fire sales" or needing to sell a "purple" we need to be able to sell players at the right time / identify new talent who can improve who we are letting go or at least avoid a big drop off in quality at least. We also need to try and promote from within no one has broken through yet other than Miley who was here before the take over. If we can develop this area this will allow us to not have to go to the market for players for every position which means in theory we either spend less money or we need to spend or at the very least the transfer budget goes on fewer player acquisitions. We need also be successful enough to rebuff player sales to a point I like others think many players would have their heads turned by Madrid/PSG/Barca but other clubs when/if we can start offering better wages and be more consistent from a success on the pitch point of view you hopefully then get less players wanting to go. The quick rise of our success on the pitch in recent years has masked how far behind we are to the legacy larger teams domestically or in Europe still in terms of success/ global recognition/ pulling power etc all that takes a lot longer.

Need another one regardless IMO, ignore the amount we have none of them are doing a good enough job defensively or able to do a good enough job to make the team effective when Bruno misses time. The fact Willock was playing there when Tonali was out on the last day said it all to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a non European season you’d expect Willock to play bench minutes are best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Would hope we can carry another CM especially if young. Tonali is a known quantity and should be part of our plans for a while yet IMO, although I know his agent is being a prong at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno isn’t getting rotated, either is Tonali, then one spot for Miley, Joelinton and Ramsey. Competition is good, especially as only Bruno was good enough this season. Joelinton needs to play less if he’s going to stay fit and Miley has a bad injury. If Ramsey wants to be a first team regular he either needs to improve a lot or go somewhere else.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 If we're moving more to 4231 then Ramsey might be considered more an option across the forward 3. And Willock should be move on ideally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
