@JaissleEra@NUFCEl@MaskedTweeta If you’re trying to implement a new system, with a new team that has also had a lot of turnover, it makes sense to bring in players who performed well and know the style of play…. Dedic and Sucic
@DTcdggh I think Real Madrid only get 50% of the fee, not the bonuses. So adding some very achieveable bonuses, delays initial financial output until next summer, and Osasuna recoup more in there pockets. OR Newcastle could just pay the release clause and Osasuna would get less.
@Magpie24_7 Exactly this! We’ve looked the most dangerous when Gordon’s been up top. His movement & ability to beat someone forces defenders out of position like they had to with Isak. Creating gaps for other players like Barnes, Willock, Ramsey and Elanga willing crashing the box.
@NUFCgallowgate He can use both feet so would be an upgrade on in that area! He was a huge part of Ipswich’s promotion campaign. Could see him being worth £35/£40m by January.
Neither of these were originally given by the on field ref, but one was looked by VAR and awarded. The other would have been a clear denial of a goal scoring opportunity but not looked at. Surely the same rule applies to both, no? #nufc
@Domosich @GianfrancoShoIa Totally agree! The minute we sold ASM we need to bring in another creative option to replace him. Yes ASM could be frustrating, but you knew every team would stick two players on him, even on his worst day, which would open up space for someone else.
@NUFCcook The bottom line is they are two very different players. One is going to create a tonne of chances and unlock defenses. The other going to score them. Both seem to contribute similar same Goals/Assists. Question is do we need someone to create or someone to score? I think create.
@johnnyarm1982@nufcupdates9@ToonPolls Hard to be productive when you have both the LB and LM covering you, & there is no attacking threat from Burn at LB. Our attack was creating nothing before he returned to starting 11. He’s only started the last 2 premier league games including the Liverpool game.
@JonnyD400 @GianfrancoShoIa Howe mentioned in one of the announcement videos that he saw Gordon playing on the wing or even as a 10 or 9. So wouldn’t be surprised if the worse were to happen, you could see Gordon up front.
@Diamond8618@AndoCommando96@GianfrancoShoIa I was thinking the same thing earlier this week. When there’s no left back overloading the left attack, it doesn’t create any hesitation from the defender that ASM is so good at exploiting. Just look at how we play down the right.
@Val_Grotesque@formularacers_ Couldn’t agree more! Starts at the very top and all comes down to poor governance and lack of consistency and clarity when applying the rules.
@desciglioszn @JonMcNeill7 @LfcYounes@Diamond8618@brfootball Liverpool have almost a billion £ squad. More than double Newcastle’s squad. Don’t think it hurts them the same way if they are missing Thiago, Nunez and Konate compared to Newcastle having ASM, Wilson and Guimaraes, their 3 best players & having to turn a weak squad to fill in
