Honestly more worried about central defence than anywhere else. Our LB isn't great but I don't see it as a weakness in the same way others do - Dan Burn was alot of pundits choice for LB of the Prem last year and Targett will be ok this season if he can avoid the injuries. RB has Trippier and then Kraft looked good under Howe and I've never understood the hate Manq gets from some quarters. Are our back up players "champions league quality?", nope not even close. But they are good enough to play 10-20 games for us this season whilst the better players handle the more important games.

Our CB has zero depth though, an injury and we're looking at Championship level replacements.

Standard of championship must have dropped significantly if Dummett is championship level now <laugh>

We're trying to win the champions league we've got burn and targett at lb.
 
I like the look of this Tobido character because he appears to have the pace Newcastle lack in defence.
