Leon Best-Loves Playing At St James Park!

Agree, I like Jonas on the left and he's a very important player to the team, offensively and defensively.

Right now our best front 4 I'd say (until we see more of Marveaux) is:

Cabaye Tiote
Obertan--------------Jonas

Ba---Best​

So with potentially Ben Arfa and Marveaux, I'd use Ben Arfa as one of the three strikers and Marveaux as one of three wingers. Bring them on as subs and if they do well they keep their place. Interested to see what Santon offers in attack as well.

 

Apparently Shola is the best trainer at the club, and he does possibly have more all round than Best, particularly, when we play one up front. That said, Best is a far better finisher, and actually, his hold up play is surprisingly good, although it is not his natural game, he's great at making space for himself and poaching goals.

For me I think he should start every game until BenArfa is 100%, he can score goals and cause teams problems with his movement in the 6 yard box. He's like a ****ter, slower Darren Bent, but less of a cock.

 

That is definetly our best team at the moment and it is doing well so no need to change atm. But, with Ben Arfa back I would agree on playing him closer to the striker. He a great playmaker for us

On Santon - I have seen his interview on NufcTV and he says he is a very attacking fullback and likes playing on the wings also so hopefully he can defend aswell :S

 

Funny you should say that as that is what I said to my mate. Similar type of player

 

Santon can defend, Look at his game against Man U in the champions league at 18, you'll be impressed

 

He is a lower quality Bent really, except because of his build, he can do some of the things a target man can do.

On Santon, people on the Inter forum were saying he could play centre back, as he is "no problem" defensively.

 

Oh yeah, I forgot about that had Ronaldo in his pocket

 

I have a feeling HBA could turn into our number 1 striker, he has skill, he is direct and has a great shot on him. Obertan reminds me of a s***ter version of Henry.

 

We could have a whole team of ****ter versions of world class players

 

-----------------Krul
Raylor-----Taylor-----Colo-----Santon
Jonas-----Tiote-----Cabaye-----Ben Arfa
----------Best-----Ameobi

 

I agree with both points. I think Obertan could well be a striker in the future - near future actually

Also, yeah Ben Arfa was a striker when he first started off at Lyon and see no reason why he can't do it again

 

1. he is not a striker
2. he never will be
3. he is made of porcelain

 

Really? I know Ba hasnt been great but he's twice the player Shola will ever be.

 

He was and still can play as a second striker. And he's had one injury from a horror tackle then one set back.

 

That must be why his legged snapped when De Jong tackled him. He's so injury prone, getting his leg broken all the time. Softy

 

Don't know why everyone insists on Jonas on the right when he has never been a right winger

He is right footed - but is way more suited to the left. He is a left winger full stop

 

Also this.

 

I wouldn't bother arguing about the Jonas thing. Some people ignore the fact he's played LW most of his career and he feels comfortable there and assume he can play on the right.

 

That must be why he has played his WHOLE career on the right until he came to, yes you guessed it - HERE

 

Lol. No one ever says Lionel Messi is left footed so he has to play on the left as that is his position. Fair enough Jonas doesn't cut in and score lots of goals but he is a class act for us on the left wing
