Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Santon's biggest problem is his concentration. He switches off quite a bit, and when there's a diagonal ball or a cross he allows the attacker to get across or in front of him and by that time the damage is done. I think a good point about commitment and desire was made aswell, if he showed more when defending he'd be a much better asset for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13847 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 2 Assists is pretty decent for a full back this far into the season, what more do you want? Although I'm fairly sure one of them came off Jonny Evans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenL 0 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 2 Assists is pretty decent for a full back this far into the season, what more do you want? Debuchy has 1 in 15 games for Lille this season. We should just give Aries and CT their own little forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 http://www.nufc.co.u...2281670_3051739 Newcastle United have made their fourth signing of the January transfer window - France under-21 international Massadio Haïdara.The 20-year-old left-back, who arrives from Ligue 1 club Nancy, has agreed a five-and-a-half year contract with the Magpies and will take the squad number 19. Since making his debut in December 2010, the Trappes-born youngster had made more than 50 appearances for Les Chardons, the club where the legendary Michel Platini began his career. "It was the desire of the club to sign me up which was the most important factor," he said. "It was nothing to do with the league position. "It was really all about the club's desire and willingness to sign me up. Also, I like the club's ambition to strengthen the whole team so we can improve our league position. That's what appealed to me so I didn't hesitate." Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew added: "Massadio is very highly-thought of in France and he's somebody who our scouting team have been greatly impressed by. "At the age of 20, he will only continue to get better but he's already played a lot of games in his country's top division and represented France at under-19, under-20 and under-21 level. "He's strong and quick and we're looking forward to seeing him develop here." As I've mentioned in this thread I'm really happy about this signing as it gives us some defensive depth and our scouting pool obviously seem to rate him and think that he can make an impact otherwise they wouldn't have signed him.

Dr Gloom 19824 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Know absolutely nowt about him but if he's good enough for Carr, he'll do. Nice to have a left footed left back again too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 8989 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) I'm seeing a bit of Sol Campbell and a bit of Carlton Cole in his face. Which goes to prove I'm not racist, as clearly they don't all look a like, so that's something. Edited January 24, 2013 by The Fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney 0 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 He looks a bit of a beast. The fact he's been playing regular 1st team football is a huge bonus. Ferguson, Sammy and Abeid need to be sent on loan ASAP to the Championship and see if they can hack it. Tavernier too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
