The Toon Army Thread

[ZIPPY365]

Rolando is a 4 month pre January spell of great football away from moving to one of the top 5, it's sad the situation we find ourselves in.

Willo is so clumsy it makes watching football so hard, all I see the guy doing is pointing and yelling.. Surely Lascellas would be the better option? From even what I've seen of the lad he seems prone to brain fades, it makes watching Yanga do so well with Roma really difficult to swallow.

Mitrovic will soon be a frustrated man if he doesn't get the delivery, he needs it in the air and it's not like we Nobby or Robert flying down our wings.. Janmaat is probably our best crosser, hopefully we get him streaming down and firing nice balls from the right.

What is your 11 for the weekend ?

Been to Tyneside, loved it

I would probably go with something like this mate:


------------------Krul--------------------

Janmaat Mbemba Colo/Saylor Haidara

---------Wijn-Colback-Sissoko---------

------------------SDJ--------------------

-------------Perez--- Mitrovic----------

I saw a rumour we were looking at another Anderlecht player - a winger I think, 1 more decent winger who can put in crosses and beat his man would be very handy.

Andy Najar wasn't it? Apparently can play RB as well as RW - would be good as we don't have a lot in the backup RB department. Although Anderlecht might start to hate us, that'd be the third player we've taken from them haha.

If we're pinching other Anderlecht players while we're at it, let's get Youri Tielemans and Stevan Defour.. both quality players.

Doesnt look like I'll need to keep an eye on the cricket when I'm at the Southampton match on Sunday

The less said about the cricket the better! What a smashing.

Thank goodness the EPL is back this week, my AFL team is struggling, the Aussies are screwed. Need NUFC's mediocrity to round it all out

This could be a great weekend Ashes coming home and the footy seasons starting hell even the suns out for once!

Willing to concede defeat on the Ashes, well played there. Hope the Toon can do some good things also.

Colo has signed a contract extension - the more I think about it the more I feel this is a positive thing. He's no world beater but when you compare him to Saylor and Willo, he's the lesser of three evils. Hope Mbemba works out (confident he will) and hope that Lascelles can develop into a decent player, because it doesn't look like they're going to sign another CB unfortunately.

That's my big worry too, need to tie him down to a new deal so even if he leaves (which he probably will if he comes on), we can at least get a decent amount for him.

A new CB and a new deal for Aarons and I'd be content with this window.

Tiges I'd gladly swap Tyneside for Melbourne in an instant hell you can even keep my ST...... and my kids

Well...as an Aussie, might be best to avoid the UK for a while until recent memory is forgotten! Even Al getting in on it.

Don't know anything other than the fact he couldn't score Northampton!! Here's hoping for some development, hardly Inspiring though

I can't see him playing much for us this season - wouldn't mind if we loaned him out. With Armstrong and Mitrovic, we've got a few young strikers for the future years ahead.

Hopefully he becomes another Perez and not a Ben Tozer!

That's the one! The Honduras lad. Didn't know he could play RB, would be nice to have more cover for Janmaat. Maybe while we're at it, we can pinch another CB from them too!

I think French clubs started to hate us for raiding their teams...might be the same of Belgian and Dutch clubs in the near future!

Under 21 too so doesn't add to the squad numbers. Strikes me as a low risk, high reward type. Only 500k I think we paid for him so that's nothing really.

Yeah we don't have a lot for RB coverage, Anita can play there (poorly) and Mbemba can apparently, although we definitely want him to be playing centre half.

 

[ZIPPY365]

Yeah Anita is muck at RB. So where will you guys get to see the game? Will you have to stream it or will it be shown on Fox Sports? Its not a live game over here.

 

[NUFC Tiger]

I'll probably try and watch it on the PC - 10pm kick off over here I think which is awesome.

Saw this team suggested for the opener, would love to see Stevie try this one even though its unlikely.

--------------Krul---------------
Janmaat--Colo--Mbemba--Haidara
--------Colback--Wijnaldum------
Sissoko------De Jong------Aarons
------------Mitrovic--------------

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Oh and Armstrong scored twice on his debut for Coventry I believe.

Ferguson has joined Millwall on loan.

AND the Mackems got spanked by Leicester!

We get every game live on Fox sports which is brilliant!

 

[robertg22]

Ahhh great to see the mediocre Mackems get bashed.

Where do you stream it from mate?

 

[tige19]

Mbemba has arrived to the ground in a tuxedo... I don't think he'll be involved

 

[robertg22]

He is starting! The back 4 looks good.

Krul
Janmaat Mbemba Colo Haidara
Anita Colback
Sissoko Wijnaldum Obertan
Cisse

Obertan

 

[tige19]

Ok I was wrong.. Our team is in and can't say I'm happy!

------Krul------
Janmaat---Mbemba---Colo---Haidara
------------Anita---Colback---------
Sissoko--------Wiji----------Obertan
-----------------Cisse--------------

So no Aarons, no Mitrovic, no Perez and no Dejong yet we have to put up with Obertan!! I'm not overly keen on 2 defensive midfielders for our first home game, it's like we are trying to save the game already.

Here's hoping for a result! Howay the lads

 

[robertg22]

No Willo in the squad at all.. best news of the day. Aarons, Mitro and De Jong will probably be subbed on at some point. Hope so anyway!

Pumped for the game, can't wait.

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Pretty happy with the team except for Obertan over Aarons. Would have been nice to see Mitrovic start too but hopefully will get a run in the second half. Cisse's a finisher, if Wijnaldum feeds him the passes, he'll score goals.

No Williamson though, we may have a chance lads!

Where do you stream it from mate?

I usually go through First Row Sports but a mate of mine has suggested I look into getting onto Premier League Pass, apparently lets you watch multiple games at the same time. Might have to get onto that!

 

[Moo]

Let's Go!

 

[robertg22]

How good is Mbemba!

 

[Finest of Wines]

Krul's clear weakness is his distribution, needs considerable improving

 

[scon]

Obertan's clear weakness is his decision making;needs to select another sport.

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Positive start to the new era. Mbemba is a breath of fresh air!

 

[robertg22]

Damn I was on the edge of my seat before... bloody Colo should have put that in! Was a handball though

 

[robertg22]

FFS. What was Obertan doing in the middle then?? He got caught in no man's land

Colo too... god
