shackbleep 0 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 from NUFC.com With the ongoing saga of Ben Afra dominating toon transfer talk recently, it's easy to forget that the club remain engaged in the process of adding to the squad. One link that has now resurfaced concerns the Penarol midfielder Arvelo Rios - who featured for Uruguay in the World Cup Finals. Media reports in his home nation suggest that a deal for the 28 year-old is close to agreement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 4817 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 He was the shaven headed defensive midfielder i think. Looked like a hard bastard in the WC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiscuitXXI 0 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 As good as he may be, we need at least 2/3 attacking players to do well this season. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 6129 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Realistically we are short at least one defensive midfield player, with no 'specialist' in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitman 2188 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Realistically we are short at least one defensive midfield player, with no 'specialist' in the squad. I thought Smith was supposed to a DM? Of course most people think he's shit but CH seems to rate him.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2188 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Looking at the pic on nufc.com, he has the face of a pitiless mass murderer. I like that in a DM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del Pede 0 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I haven't seen this elsewhere either, but Jóan Símun Edmundsson has signed a one year deal with an option for a further year with Newcastle. Apparently he was at the club, up untill now, on a loan. It was reported on a danish football website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19736 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 i'd take the uruguay defensive midfielder ahead of smudger smith. if we can get this lad in, ben arfa plus a new striker then we'll have done alright in this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12736 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Can't be any worse than Smith in that role. Can he play anywhere else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
