Weren’t we suppose to be interested in signing, Matty Longstaff? He’s not in the Newcastle squad; unless he’s injured.
We should be interested, he would get in in front of Howson and McNair who are ok but lack pace and bite in the midfield. When they had a decent spell , it was because they were winning the midfield battle and Howson and McNair were struggling.
Longstaff and Morsy would be good, I would prefer us to buy Ali McCann from St Johnstone and Lewis Ferguson from Aberdeen and Callum Ohare from Coventry if we had the funds, but doubt we have.
Welcome back Block21
McNair and Howson were both poor yesterday in what was otherwise a decent performance. Think Howson is looking spent. ran round in last ten minutes invisible before.Would prefer Howson and McNair to Longstaff and Morsy to be honest. Sounds awful
I will put it another way ,Would prefer Howson and McNair to Longstaff and Morsy to be honest. Sounds awful
I will put it another way ,
Longstaff would provide quality competition for the other 3 , giving us 4 good options for 2 places. It would also let both Howson and McNair to be cover at RB and CH.
I would take Gayle, and also Keinan Davis ( to rotate with Uche ) and Ellis Simms to rotate with Crooks . Similar players , so they would be like for like alternatives .Gayle would be my choice right now but we’d still need to sign a striker in a yr as he’s clearly nit a premier first teaser .
If we signed one of the other more speculative strikers this is a great league to test them in and based on form could well do a job in the premier league .
