    His YouTube video looks good but we would have preferred Dimitris Giannoulis. 7 assists from left back last season. Thoughts?

    Non-Starter that one unfortunately. A left back was essential it must be said. Two strikers now required and Ryan Fraser looks like he had his medical this evening.

    Ben Arfa is, was and will always be a class act. He was made for a club like ours. His discipline let him down in the end though. I take it he is your favourite toon player?

    Yep, of course. Right club, wrong manager. Just wish we'd had him under Keegan or Sir Bobby.

    Anyways welcome to the forum, it's good here, just ignore the Consett hillbillies and don't take @The emerald guard seriously

    That's some thought. Keegan probably would have managed him 2nd time round but we all know what happened there. Thanks mate. Appreciate the heads up <laugh>

    Ideally both.... Its a long season, Dummetts injured and tbh in a back 4 I really don't like dummett at left back..

    I think he's still finding it hard to accept Ben arfas failures and that Manquillo is fast

    Nobody is going to tell me years on from this he's not even more capable.

    There's going to come a time when people realise he's not had a bad game at rb for coming up 2 seasons... Also playing far too many games.

    Dummy at left back is solid but like you I have my reservations on his ability going forward. I hope Bruce keeps him mind. I think the elegant man himself Fabian Schar and or Florian Lejeune will both leave the club if the right offers come in.

    Will we sign both is the question? I have a feeling it'll be only one.

    I have had to eat humble pie regarding manq hands up. One I would say though, as good as he has been... His form since lockdown has been as sketchy.

    I agree, but I think he played every game so his level dropped.. He also was asked to play left back.. While he grinds out performances at rb he's not good enough to play on the left and get away with it.

    If it effects the signing of one or two strikers I hope it is just the one. Fraser had his medical yesterday. He will sign a 4 year deal in the next few days. Thoughts on that signing?

    I got annihilated on here for suggesting he's only done well in one season, but a only have max and miggy to play behind a striker and we're playing on a 3 there, so Fraser max miggy will frighten defences.. Thats got to be the fastest front 3 going

    Yes but I think with manq he is perfect for our backup RB in many ways. Good pro and usually gives you a 7/10 most weeks. It was a no brainer to offer him a new deal. I hope we can get Hayden tied down. It's unlikely he will sign a contract any longer than a year though unfortunately.
