Can be quicker than Usain Bolt but if he continues to be so square on when people run at him, then they will waltz past him. It’s this kind of stuff makes him look slow.
In hindsight I think Ward Prowse would have been a better target than Gyfi. Versatile, hard working, good set piece delivery, and with a sell on value.
If we sign the Bristol lad then may make sense to switch to 3 (or 5) at the back. Get Coleman on the other side. Rooney, Gueye and Davies in midfield, Tosun and Walcott up front.
Boot Morgan out of the club and bring Nzonzi in. Let’s hope Coleman, Baines and even Mori come back soon.
Then in the summer continue the clear out, two new defenders and a midfielder who can play football.
Does anyone brag about how young and talented their back 4 is? Robertson is ok, and Gomez is decent, but Lovren and Klavan are universally regarded as garbage?
You basically go into a long dark room, walk past the skeleton of Mikel Forsell, and then you are tied into a chair. Bill Kenwright then starts hitting your knee with a clawhammer and phones up your club demanding a 30% discount on the agreed fee or it’s all off.
Nothing against Sunderland, but Newcastle have a bigger fan base. Although the potential for both, given the lack of other teams anywhere near, is very big.
I’m confident we’ll get a left back, but it really is time to push some players out the door.
Expect Lennon, Besic, Sandro, Stek and maybe Klassen and Niasse to leave before we get a full back in.
