Nick Woltemade

Allowing myself to get carried away here but it's not too much of a stretch to imagine a World Cup Final with Ramsdale, Livramento, Hall, Burn, Gordon, Bruno and Joelinton playing in it

Even if those two countries made the final less than half of those players would likely be playing. It’s a nice dream though.

Scores for us a week on Saturday.

He any good in the air for his height? Should score plenty with our crosses  

 

Two Germans this summer. When was last time we had two?

I watched the whole match. Not one German player got pass marks except for the keeper who kept the score down. You couldn't judge any player on that overall team performance. 

 

I'm proud to have big Nick on our team, I'll reserve judgement for some point in the future AFTER  he's had a chance to show us what he can do. I hope proves all the naysayers wrong.

 

Hoooo....hoooo.....hoooooowwwlllllllll 🐺

Fixed it.

We're facetiously writing him off, right? Just having a bit of a good ol gallows humor laugh, aye?

Worrying that Thiaw can’t get in that team then.

He'll be class. We wouldn't have signed him other wise. Eddie's NUFC don't sign failures

When researching him earlier, I was shocked at how quickly 'Woltemania' is escalating - he was on the bench in Stuttgart's first 10 league matches of last season + sometimes came on. Was left out of their Champions League squad, too.

 

Basically, he's been a starter since December and is now here as our club record signing. Very risky (but exciting).

The guff floating around about Nick, the embarrassing doom-mongering from parts of social media, etc, it's just a tad silly tbh. After watching the Germany match, it was obvious that the entire team struggled, the tactics were rubbish and certainly none of it played to our boy's strengths. I have no doubts to him playing for us, any of these nitwits trying to bring him down, it wouldn't surprise me if it was just the usual culprits trying to unsettle things and keep maintain perceived turmoil at our club for clicks.

Despite the high transfer fee (which really was too high, but market went crazy) he is still young and raw talent with clear on/off performances. If we let him grow under guidance of Eddie, we will get good player out of him. But if fans or press turn on him too soon, there is great chance of flop, considering young age and short career and the pressure affecting mentally.

 

British press is cruel and so are some fans. He is easy target so I hope he gets the respect and patience he deserves.

 

German strikers do seem to peak later than many other. But they tend to keep the level then.

I am sick of people saying he's not scored a lot of goals - Neither has Ekitike.  But he's load more to his game.

No I mean having our most dangerous player on set pieces be Jamal Lascelles for the last eight years is fucking exhausting. 

 

Various center forwards, a variety of beanpoles and giants, and not one of them could put their head on a fucking cross to save their life.

[HayDen Traces]

He's not the finished article. He's going to need Eddie to get out his polish, but there's definitely talent there and the hope is in a couple of seasons he's top class

I mean, fuck yes, he certainly hit one where it counted. 

 

That's also, like, one of the three he's scored in the last eighty years or whenever. Don't get me wrong I love Dan Burn but his attacking headers are literally an exercise in frustration. 

 

Except in cup finals.

Aye he’s a flop. Another to add to the long list of flops Eddie has had at Newcastle. As for his price? It’s deja vu with Isak.

Both Ekitike and Sesko cost more, Ekitike only really had last season as a regular first team starter and everyone is still waiting for Sesko to really have a breakout year too.
 

It kinda bewilders me those in the media balking at the fee; as apart from Delap who had the really low release clause, every other striker we went for was at similar ball park cost and they all had similar risk attached. 

[Conjo]

Working conditions taken into account I thought he did well. No striker will look good alone up top for a team that never manages to involve them in the game. Yeah he had two shitty headers and one failed attempt at dribling past Skriniar who's been one of the best CBs in the world the last 6-7 years. Which striker has a 100% success rate at anything?

 

He worked hard, held the ball off from multiple opponents and found a team mate the few times he received the ball with his back to goal. I'm not good enough at football to judge his movement, but he was constantly trying to get into good positions as far as I could see, but he hardly ever received the ball.

 

Think we'd do well to have him come deeper than he did in this game to receive the ball and have him be a more active part of the build up rather than having him playing off the shoulders of defenders, but we shall see. I feel we had a similar issue with not involving Isak more too a bit too often, but maybe Howe will do some tactical changes since Woltemade isn't as quick as Isak is.
