Evann Guessand (on loan at Crystal Palace)

[KevinGage]

Saudis tend to spend the petrodollars on 'name' players.

Unless you're intertwined with the deplorable Wahhabi head choppers to the extent Newcastle are, why would they want to take damaged goods off us just to do us a favour.

[Smirker]

For those who think he won't come good and have already given up on him, why do you think Unai keeps starting him?

Surely there has to be a reason, and I don't think it's because he cost a decent amount of money.

Do you really think Unai would persist with him if he was really as shit as you lot believe he is? We've got several players who could replace him so I don't see why he wouldn't just drop him.

Wasn't he heading there before we stepping in?

He'll come good. Currently playing out of position to fill a gap.

Your logic does seem to fluctuate a bit.

It doesn't, you just didn't bother to read my post.

Unai has almost no choice but to play Watkins so there is no other striker to drop him for.

Who would play out there in place of him?

[eamonn]

Me neither. They're both black with good hair, one is a baller, the other's a bad cover version.

Yes, and I’m sure Unai has had zero input to the building of the squad in the last 3 years.

We didn’t have several players who could replace him though.

He was dropped when Onana came back and allowed McGinn to play in his position.  He would have remained out of the team if Buendia didn’t get injured.

He might come good, although I don’t think he’s got the attributes needed to play in his current position.  Perhaps it might be an option to try him in the centre for one of the Euro games and swap him and Malen around?

[ROBBO]

He isn't quick enough to play the position. Hope he comes good but i'm not hopeful.

Good point! We have also been totally unrestricted in who we can buy and how much we can spend and Unai has never mentioned this before.

Sancho, Buendia and Malen can all play on the wing.

We’ve had other forwards, and currently do. Like I say, your argument on Guessand might have merit, but it does rather expose your stance on Watkins.

[Smirker]

We don't have anyone who can play CF. We have one striker. Anyone else would be playing out of position. That's not the case with the wing.
