True, but that's what Dihno and Delph are supposed to provide. We currently have issues at LB we can't do anything about. Same with Fernando in the middle. Similar happened with Rodwell, Garcia and the Winger kid window. Sometimes it is better to go for who you want and if you don't get them, relax. You'd be in a better position to re-evaluate in December and next summer.I agree with that theory, but I wouldn't mind seeing an extra bit of energy amongst the midfield options. I'd be very surprised if Nasri & Navas are here for much longer, so IF Dzeko goes, we have a potential 4 spaces free over the next two summer windows.
Imagine if Yaya and Fernandinho get injured/suspended for a European game and we go with a midfield 3 of Delph, Sissoko and Fernando :|
Not a chance. There is a reason Newcastle play him on the right of midfield and rarely in the centre.
agree 100%. He is a very good player and knows the league.Living near Newcastle and having access to someone's unused season ticket I got to eight home games this season. I have watched this guy at close quarters and I have been impressed.I have joked that City could snatch him. He has been playing in a very poor midfeild but has all the attributes we need. Would be wrong to underestimate him. Put him in a good team and be prepared to be surprised.
