Newcastle Fan Posted Monday at 22:00 Share Posted Monday at 22:00 Seemed to be mostly signed because Eddie knows him rather that actually being any good for the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted Monday at 22:03 Share Posted Monday at 22:03 On 04/10/2024 at 13:29, Sibierski said: Surely there’s a difference to carrying out the pressing plan which can take time to learn get fitness, then there’s to playing in defence? Just looks very limited, which is fair, but not when he’s on £100k+ and we’ve got him for rest of decade. Likely going to end up being in 18 months time at best, 3rd choice LB and 5th choice CB. Not even 18 months, and he’s comfortably already 3rd choice LB and 5th choice CB. Woeful signing, and will be a big weight for seasons to come. We’d be better off getting £5m+ for him, and subsidising his wages with that to balance a minimum net 0 return. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boey_Jarton Posted Monday at 22:08 Share Posted Monday at 22:08 Can't remember a worse center back performance in a long time. Long balls softly headed into incoming danger. Distribution terrible. Non existent marking from corners. At least he was free Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

black_n_white Posted Monday at 22:10 Share Posted Monday at 22:10 Antonio ran him ragged tonight, is he really a centerback? Where did he play regularly for Bournemouth? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjmc Posted Monday at 22:12 Share Posted Monday at 22:12 Thought he was shite and offered nothing no calmness at the back, no passing finesse, no stand out qualities what so ever. Not sure he is the player I saw in his highlights or that he's the type that needs a run of games which right now he's at least 3rd choice behind botman and burn you don't see him getting it done nothing to say burn slots straight back in.

He just looks too small to stand up to the really powerful CFs in this league. It's not the first time he's been bullied in the air. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted Monday at 22:17 Share Posted Monday at 22:17 Was everything I feared. Hope he can get better. but I don’t see anything in the lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted Monday at 22:19 Share Posted Monday at 22:19 Didn’t think he was that bad first half. Massive error costing us a goal aside As for that second half. That was utterly pathetic. Terrible on the ball, passive, panicked and rushed everything. Woeful. I won’t be suggesting he plays ahead of Burn any time soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted Monday at 22:24 Share Posted Monday at 22:24 Couldn't give a shite if he can or can't pass the ball, but I hate seeing passive defending, especially from a CB. Backing off, turning your back on shots, falling asleep on corners. Just not good enough. None of the above is excused by "he's 17th choice" or "he was a free transfer" either. He's a premier league footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir_9 Posted Monday at 22:28 Share Posted Monday at 22:28 (edited) Pure Ashley era style signing this guy in every way shape and form. Like a modern day Danny fucking Simpson or some shit. In no man's land when they nearly went 3-0 up today as well. Stinker of a performance, can only go upwards from here for him surely.

The problem is he doesn't look capable of even stand-in material. We've had Lascelles and Krafth come in and do a job when called on, this lad doesn't even look like a centre half. I'm sure he's better than what we've seen so far, but he looks like a deer in headlights at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikse Posted Monday at 22:30 Share Posted Monday at 22:30 (edited) From the start it felt like a signing that would be decent for what we used to be pre takeover, or for what Bournemouth used to be when Howe was there. One of those that we would've been hoping to move on a couple of years into the new ownership if he was here when we got taken over. He's a squad player, but I really hope the wages aren't as crazy as some of the reports say. Even Krafth at CB seems better so far, like..

Smal Posted Monday at 22:31 Share Posted Monday at 22:31 yeah, was gonna say… that’s Premier League winning right back Danny Simpson you’re dissing there. This guy is more like the Dan Gosling of defensive signings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
