Newcastle United Thread

If we could just sign Hatem to a lifetime contract that'd be great.

 

Difference is Hatem is pretty much the best player outside the top six in the league.

Creates, scores, makes defenders look drunk half the time. Pretty much carries the team atm.

 

Ben Arfa is far too mercurial. Reckon there's quite easily five better players outside the top six. Perhaps ten.

 

Well the top six are.

United, City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham and Pool.

Name ten from the rest better than Ben Arfa.

 

Benteke, Baines, Begovic, Schneiderlin, Michu, Lukaku are all a fair step above. Bony, Weimann, Jagielka, Lambert, Ramirez, van Wolfswinkel and Berbatov are all around that level too. I'd find it difficult to rate any of the latter group above of Ben Arfa, but he's certainly not as good as the first group, IMO.

 

Benteke - Will give.
Baines - Debatable. Would argue that Ben Arfa goes through teams far better than Baines, but Baines can defend.
Begovic - Keeper? Really?
Schneiderlin - Nah. Is good, but isn't a gamebreaking player.
Michu - Will give.
Lukaku - Plays for Chelsea.

 

Haha. Lukaku, okay. The rest I don't get. Michu and Benteke are the two you give me, but IMO they're the two weakest of the five.

 

His only injuries while at Newcastle have been a double leg break and a torn hammy. Two major injuries.

 

Remy is gun. Need to get him on a perm asap.

 

Cabaye looked good.

 

Not keen. We're going to get smashed.

 

HBA playing a false 9 role. Interesting.

Now if we could just get the ball outside our half we might learn something.

 

Our defense is so fucking frustrating. Seem to lose all ability to communicate despite being fucking good players.

Watching Williamson trying to defend Suarez is going to be painful.

 

Oh god, Gerrard on 99 goals.

Certainty to score.
