KaKa Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Pretty much a Carrick type def mf (creative) role, although I see him as someone who holds but may break ala Essien/Mikel. We will play 433 that is clear. I think 4-3-3 is what we will be going with too, which is why I have been surprised with talks of Owen and Martins staying. I'm not sure either has the skill set to play as wide forwards. We will essentially have to revamp the whole team as we don't have the type of central attacking midfielders who get forward and score enough goals, which is vital in the 4-3-3. I think you mentioned Nolan before, is this still on? Would Nolan and Reo-Coker be the two pushing forward from the middle? It also looks like we might go with Crouch rather than Anelka as the central striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Not sure about Nolan, Bolton fans seem desperate to get rid. Reo-Coker seems like too much of a gamble aswell! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be a gentleman's agreement in place reg Nolan. So not sure about that at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Crouch or Anelka I'd go with that, rather Anelka for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, he must have just been working hard Im sure he played DM at least for Pompey or he is just a hard working player..? I wouldn't say he's particularly hard working. Not lazy but not a British-style grafter either. He is known as a defensive midfielder but I can only imagine that Portugal's idea of a DM is very different to England's. He is at his best when he's bursting forward from midfield and he has a habit of doing lots of turns and tricks to hold about 3 players off at one time. I hope we get him on loan again. Pleasure to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we (Newcastle) can get the price down with a double deal (Baines and Scharner) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Fernandes he is a very good DM some of my mates who support Everton think hes brilliant and hes class at tackling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
