Tooj 17 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Yup. Think is a better defender from what I saw of him in the WC. No rash petulant hacks ala Debuchy.A couple of cameo appearances at the WC is a great sample size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 70 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) A couple of cameo appearances at the WC is a great sample size. Just go by what I read on NO remember. Debuchy is better going foward as I said earlier but defending its pretty close in my humble opinion. Nobody on here is an expert on Janmmat. However: 36 - Daley Blind is the only defender who created more chances (37) than Daryl Janmaat in the Eredivisie last season (36).

ADP 0 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Good signing. Glad we held out until we had a replacement as well. Are people actually starting to learn how to conduct transfers?! Still need two strikers and a CB imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 14485 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Good signing. Glad we held out until we had a replacement as well. Are people actually starting to learn how to conduct transfers?! Still need two strikers and a CB imo. Doubt it. You know what would have happened if Ajax had asked for more money, we'd have walked away and gone back in January and Ryan Taylor wouldve started the season.

ewerk 26117 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 The world and his wife already knew that the Debuchy deal was done, I'm not sure how anyone thought that we were fooling Ajax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelie 103 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I'm pleased with the signing of Janmaat but stay a little worried about our back 4. Santon appears to be out until September which will probably mean Dumbett will be a starter and that doesn't please me too much. I think Williamson is a weak link and frankly I would prefer Saylor or a new body in next to Colo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatty 24 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 A lot of indicators pointing to this guy being or having the potential to be an upgrade on Debuchy. Seems like we've made a good job of this transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 3414 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 While I dont think Janmaat is as accomplished a defender as Debuchy yet, for a club like us you cant expect better business than this so Im happy. I also fully expect him to be sold in 2-3 years. Fact he can cover at CB is a big plus. But it also worries me Pardew might destroy him by playing him at CB and Santon at RB. Would be just like us to ruin a CB, Mbiwa, by playing him at RB and then ruin a promising RB by playing him at CB. Im really hoping we sign a decent CB or two so it doesnt have to come to that.

You know what would have happened if Ajax had asked for more money, we'd have walked away and gone back in January and Ryan Taylor wouldve started the season. Can only go on what I'm seeing this transfer window - We lost Remy (inevitably), and are actively looking for a replacement. Though with Debuchy we held the cards and only have finalised his move once the Janmaat deal has been in place. I was wishfully thinking; it would take a lot more of such similar, sensible business for me to believe that this is more than just a one off however, given our track record of seemingly being unable to look beyond the 'profit at any cost' culture at the club currently.

The Fish 8936 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Happy with this as it should mean whomever plays ahead of the more defensive-minded Janmaat should have greater license to attack. To be honest, it could mean a renaissance for Ben Arfa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1115 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 From what I've read about him, his strength is more in his attacking than it is in his defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClubSpinDoctor 0 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Are you suggesting some fatty solidarity might ensue and Mike force Pards to field him? Surely a man with Pardew's principles would resign immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I don't mind people moaning about the bad shit or staying tight lipped about the good shit. But complaining about spending £30m+ in under 3 weeks seems to me to expose an intransigence of thought that doesn't deserve a response. Its unprecedented at Newcastle isn't it?

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) Are the club actually going to bother officially announcing this one, or will it only be 100% confirmed when he appears in training photos?

Noelie 103 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Why am I having feelings that Janmaat signing is not a done deal. Comments like Emanuel is our 5th signing, and it depends on Debuchy's move, are causing me concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
