Monaco’s Axel Disasi ‘agrees’ to join Newcastle

[Sclox]

Schar is the man in my eyes, however I think a quality young apprentice is wise to eventually take over in a couple of years and to give cover. I don't think theres many other Toon players spend as much time eith a sponge on their head during a game.

Yes, I'm not having a go at Schar per se (although, when he pushes up, he needs to try harder to stay goal side); it was more a reflection of his age and how strong Botman is.

Botman is undroppable but could be “rested” for the odd game,as will all of the team this coming season. Schar is a good footballer and can play defensive midfield if needed. Eddie just had to keep them all happy, and buying into the philosophy,it’s a squad game these days and the players should all realise that, hopefully.

If Disasi is to replace Lascelles then great but the OP stated that D had been assured of game time.
Schar is a better passer and finisher than Botman but the latter is better in defense. They compliment each other well.

So the report says but we really don't know what the terms of his offer is. Whatever happens he's gotta be looking at the project with excitement.

some articles are suggesting that Newcastle and Man Utd are not looking to get this lad, in fact its the lad and his agent offering him to both clubs. I know nothing about him, although many people are saying he is very good but very prone to mistakes

OP only said he was happy with the game time discussed, not how much.

We’re unlikely to be able to play such a stable back 4 ever again, so really we need 4 CB’s getting games and developing an understanding with all the major permutations possible
