Yorkie Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 What's farcical is that we wouldn't have even signed him had Lejeune stayed fit. Rafa's got a good eye for a defender, like. Him, Lejeune, Clark, Yedlin, even Hanley - all have been very solid purchases. Manquillo, Lazaar and Gamez all look like mistakes, granted, but that's bound to happen when you're working on a shoestring budget. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Playing for a proper manager in Rafa will bring the best out of him too imo Played under him before, too. To think if Lejeune hadn’t been injured we’d probably not have signed him either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza ladra Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Nice article. https://www.football365.com/news/top-ten-premier-league-players-outside-the-big-five-anthony-martial 1) Identifies Fernandez as one of the best players outside the Big Five. 2) Coins the term "Big Five". Picks Anthony Martial as well-- rubs some salt in the wound. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Also forgot that Fernandez only signed a 2 year contract with us. Wonder if/when we'll look to tie him down to a longer one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 There's some players who never really take to playing for a football mad club like Newcastle, Jacob Murphy ( at the moment) is one that comes to mind. If ever there was one who seems to fit the bill perfectly it's Fernandez. He's a real blood and thunder type defender, even if he can play a bit. I bet he really loves it when he gets a big cheer for cleaning out a striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Did anyone see him bollock Joselu at the end for not closing Hart down quickly enough Yeah I seen this as I was yelling 'close the cunt down ffs' much to the disgust of the girlfriend, then using Fernandez reaction as vindication for my outburst Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Literally the best collective set of central defenders I can remember us having. Great competition. Have to agree with this, it's just such a shame for all the defending we do or can do, we're unable to capitalise on it with such a comparatively toothless strike-force. Federico is absolutely top notch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I thought the posts calling him this year's Joselu were ridiculous, but I didn't think he was this good. Think alot of it must be because the press were desperate to heap the praise on Williams and then Mawson because they were british. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
