Someone posted them on a Newcastle forum. I thought about Baines myself when I saw that stat. I think I read somewhere that he has the most assists from crosses for the last 3 seasons.

So baines crossing from the left and Sanchez from the right to supply dzeko could be a very successful combination.

Sanchez isn't a crosser mate, by any stretch of the imagination. He needs to work on that. But then again, he's not an out and out winger like someone like Young, Mata, etc. Cheers. :)

I know Sanchez will bring us pace and that's something we need but shouldn't we be looking for someone with a delivery for dzeko? When iv seen Mata he's played more of a role like silva(drifting in to the middle a lot) but then again iv only seen him play a few times.

Niceone, so he fits the bill.
For me mata/silva/Sanchez behind any of our strikers would be unstoppable.

There is this fallacy that Dzeko can only thrive with 2 wingers supplying crosses. That wasn't the case at Wolfsburg and it won't be here. Put the ball in the right area from any position, and he will score goals.
