Monday night was True Faith's annual live podcast where fans can come and sit in on a chat between the True Faith guys and several journalists who cover Newcastle United.

The event is a retrospective looking at the season just gone as well as thoughts on the direction for the future. 

The Telegraph's Luke Edwards was on the panel and he said that he's aware that England international Jarrod Bowen is keen to join Newcastle.

 

Never wanted him to be so right! 


I was there, I don’t remember him saying Bowen was keen to join us, but he did say Danny Dyer had told him we’d been in touch. He told the story in a light hearted way and didn’t exactly say this is comprehensive prediction. He did just say this is “my curveball” for the summer window and that he’d be ideal for us.

Well that’s surprising. Thought with his family links and recent success he was unlikely to leave. If true, he’d be a real asset right across the front.

Youngsters: Rigg, Cozier-Duberry, Zenon

 

 

 

We can dream :yao:

He’s got to be number 1, if you’re spending that much on a GK. Maybe Eddie saw enough of a drop off with Dubravka playing that he thought we couldn’t go through that again, and a good backup who doesn’t drastically alter our style because he is deficient is a must.

No chance for Bowen. Absolutely no chance we pay West Ham sort of money they ask for. 
Same goes for Sesko, Olise and Raphinha.

Olise has a release clause below 60 million.

Anyone who’s seen that Mamardashvili play, what’s he like ?

Absolutely fooking class. Would argue his passing is a weakness.

is this Valencia guy any good with his feet? 

 

watched a couple of mins on YouTube and it was mostly comfortable shot stopping 

 

I really like Pope but his kicking is really unfuriating when he just gives the ball back to the opposition and invites more pressure

Happy to have him if he is the goalkeeper who is comfortable with his feet that will take us to the next level. Those top keepers are rare and cost a premium. If he is that good and we sign him, that's our goalkeeper sorted for the next decade or so.

Haven't seen him play but as I'm off sick did some Dennis Wise scouting with some extra stats googling

 

https://fbref.com/en/comps/12/keepers/La-Liga-Stats From basic LaLiga stats 73.8% save percentage which is rougly average/a little above average

 

https://fbref.com/en/comps/12/keepersadv/La-Liga-Stats

 

From advanced stats - has the highest 'post goal expected shot minus goal allowed'. Meaning (I think) he did a lot of good saving. Also saved 3 out of 5 penalties, which probably bumped the previous stat up a tad.

 

Passing: Has the lowest completion % of launched passed in the league (passes over 40 yards). Also one of the highest long ball attempted percentages [dunno how much of this was down to team tactics, he was playing for a weak team, but I presume he's not that great with the ball at his feet or they'd play short more] -

 

*Bear in mind Alisson and Onana don't have much better completion % than him this year (Alisson much better last year) and are both good with their feet so could be a little misleading. https://breakingthelines.com/player-analysis/giorgi-mamardashvili-valencias-georgian-goalkeeper/ Suggests passing is a weakness, though it's something best judged by the eye test IMO.

 

Crossing: 3rd Highest crossing stop percentage in the league

 

Sweeping: Well below average actions outside penalty area and 3rd shortest distance to goal of defensive actions [By comparison, Pope's been in the top 2 furthest distance to goal in the premier league for this last couple of years]. Of course being in a weak team may influence this as you play more low block.

 

EDIT: In Pope's final Burnley season 21-22 he was still 3rd furthest from goal in the league.

 

Based on that and a couple of highlight videos: He's a big fucker and agile with it so a good shotstopper (makes very asthetic dives) and good on crosses. Basically very good close to his goal but probably not a good sweeper keeper.

 

His beard is decent but not Alisson good.

Yes, and when/if we match that other team, like Liverpool or ManU also match that and can offer 50k +  more wages.

That’s not what you said though, you said we won’t pay Palace the money. I think we would pay 50 or so for him. Bigger wages is obviously a separate issue.
