Kid Dynamite 5908 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 You don't think signing for a big premier league club comes with certain expectations? Fair enough. Chances are I'm right though. Tbf, going on recent good signings vs bad signings, chances are you're wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonotl 2415 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I hope to be proven wrong and if it comes to that I'll gladly cope it or latch onto a youth player, constantly refer to him by his first name and laud over his performances no matter how brief or uneventful.

donaldstott 0 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) http://www.nufc.co.u...2281670_2786281 Newcastle United can today announce the signing of midfielder Romain Amalfitano. The 22-year-old Frenchman will join the Club when his contract at Reims expires on Saturday, 30th June. He will officially become a Newcastle player on Sunday, 1st July. Born in Nice, Amalfitano is a versatile midfielder who is equally comfortable operating on either the right flank or in a central role. He came through the youth system at Châteauroux before starting his senior career with Evian. From there, Amalfitano joined Reims in 2010, and has played at the Stade Auguste Delaune for the past two seasons, helping them achieve promotion back to Ligue 1 last season. Amalfitano, whose older brother Morgan plays for Marseille, said: "I am very happy to be a Newcastle player. "I have seen a bit of the city already and it is a change from France but one I am really looking forward to. "When a club like Newcastle wants you to play for them it can only be a good thing. I have taken the opportunity to play in the Premier League and cannot wait to get going." Edited May 23, 2012 by donaldstott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8989 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I was wondering if this lad has been picked up because the Marveaux gamble hasn't paid off (yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 I was wondering if this lad has been picked up because the Marveaux gamble hasn't paid off (yet) Picked up because he's decent and free I would guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bias 3 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Looks good to me. Need a bigger squad for next season and with Marveaux back that's like two signings already really. Hopefully we will do all our work early again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Doesn't look like an athlete, does he? Think he'll need to bulk up a bit if he's going to do well in the Prem. I reckon he'd be handy for the games in Europe alongside Cabaye with Tiote mopping up at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I'm not saying all premiership footballers should look like George Elokobi but you've got to have a certain level of fitness that means you won't be bullied off the ball too easily. Amalfitano's been playing in Ligue 2 so it's a massive step up to the premiership in all levels of his game. Won't matter so much in Europe as it's often against more technical sides rather than Robert Huth kicking you three feet up in the air on a rainy winter's night in Stoke.

luckyluke 1 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 General standard of football looks pretty poor in those clips - weak, underhit crosses bouncing several times across the faceof goal before our lad bundles them in - he's hardly in danger of bursting the net. And the long range efforts are less powerful than my stream of piss yet the go through everyone. Still he obviously knows where the goal is, so there's hope.
