Chronic the Drug Wasp 6 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Simpson is a better defender but going forward aye no question Debuchy should start. My point was only Ben Arfa is that much better than anyone in our squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was only Ben Arfa is that much better than anyone in our squad. Not a chance. All round, Debuchy is much better than Simpson. I mean, he's only France's 1st choice RB but Simpson (with 0 England call-ups) is better defensively?

Christmas Tree 4725 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I get all the Frances no1 etc etc but so far I havent seen a great deal of an upgrade from one to the other. Not quite living up to the hype for me so far. Of course before the usuals jump in, Im sure a pre season etc etc will be a big help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know whether it's because everyone else has been playing crap, but he's looks decent. Not afraid in the opposition half, doesn't panic and can cross a ball. In defense, he won most his headers yesterday and looked by far the best player on the pitch (not hard though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobos 298 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Too early to judge , hes only been here 3 months . I reckon he's going to be a force to be reckoned with - but gawd he needs a team with a bit of creativity round him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeris 0 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Mbiwa doesn't match up to the hype when we signed him Gouffran, Sissoko and Yanga-Mbiwa was doing pretty awesome for us when they weren't so influenced by the Newcastle coaching staff and Pardew.

Dappa03 0 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 this must be why RTG has so many newcastle threads, i mean doesn't it normally even have a match thread every week for us as well? Can't say we've done the same on here... guess it's because the smelly bamps don't really matter, where as we do Judging by the activity on this board it's because all your lot are members on the SMB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17243 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Ok its happened again and I'm frankly puzzled...someone has said in the transfer thread that Pardew picked Sissoko mostly on the wing last season. And its also said quite a lot that he she play further back, in beside another central midfielder. I don't think theres a lot of evidence for the former and I take it that the latter comes from his time at Toulouse?...for me, he looks like a classic inside forward, which is what young uns would call an attacking midfielder these days and I think that's where Pardew picked him for most of the games last season. Can someone please explain why its thought he was picked on the wing?...heres something to have a look at, you might want to turn the sound down though Edited June 4, 2013 by PaddockLad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21912 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 When he signed I was led to believe he was a defensive or box to box midfielder. He's played much further forward than I thought he would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
