im quite intreeged why no one is putting jonas in the Xl for next season. heas been vital for us this season so why change it. as the saying goes 'dont fix things if they arnt broken'

His crossing isn't up to standards and he doesn't score as much as a winger should. Given his work-rate and stature, he should be converted into a DM. He'd be much more of use there.

Totally agree to this! He's been the silent hero for us this season. If any left sided player is to come in, it's to be back up to jonas!

Plenty energy from him,but his crossing is poor,and lets face it thats wot he is there for,i wish for his workrate and laurent robert crossing !!!

He's just an engine and Cabaye and Tiote cover more ground on average than him. He's an alright player but he's not technically good enough to help us compete for top 4. Great serviceman but he should be used more like Perch, as a utility as he is not particularly outstanding in any area of the pitch.

Jonas is a utility player and nothing more, he has been great for this season but if we want to progress we need greater quality. I am pretty sure the season in the Championship we got Routledge in January and Routledge scored more and got more assists in half a season than Jonas did overall. That is not the sign of a top quality winger.

If you think jonas isnt an important player for newcastle and shouldnt start nearly every game you clearly dont watch newcastle games, hes so vital for us whether he plays on the wing, full back or in the middle, his work rate is immense and has great leadership qualities

I honestly don't think there's a winger that helps out their full back as much as Jonas. He responsible for Taylors performance at LB, not to mention helping settle in Santon in his first season.

"If you think jonas isnt an important player for newcastle and shouldnt start nearly every game you clearly dont watch newcastle games"...I am, and have been, a season ticket holder for over 35 years...I go to EVERY game, home and away..i dont rate Jonas for his crossing which is what he is there for is it not? Supply the forwards with the oppurtunity's and maybe chip in with a few himself...Now, because i feel this way about him, does that mean i have no knowledge of my club's player's?..It's MY opinion, along with other's as well it appear's, your insinuation that we dont watch the games is insulting.

Our strikers are good with there feet so why have a winger who's instinct it is get to the byline and cross?
Surely people can't criticize and get rid of a player because of one attribute?
Yeah in the long term I would replace him but at the minute we need to strengthen our squad so we have cover for ACON and a euro campaign

I watch every game and if you think jonas should be on in the first 11 you clearly havnt been watching the games. He cant cross or shoot. In the 2nd half of the season he was very poor and slugish in my opinion. A wingers job isnt to be a great at helping the defence, its to produce some goods for the strikers which he hasnt done. As for central midfield, You are having a laugh! He has no creativity at all. He is no where near as powerfull as tiote and would be a total waste in their full time. I would use him as a utility player if we are to go forward and progress. Have you ever heard of a club that has a great defensive winger who cant cross of tackle?? NO the reason for this is because you pay them to produce, He isnt creating anything for Cisse or Ba. I want an out and out winger on the left next season, someone who carry's that much of a danger the oppositions right back is scared to come forward thats a step in the right direction.

Jonas doesn't score loads or get loads of assists but he is immense. His work rate and defensive covering abilities are world class and a real asset to us

Just heard on talksh1t Demba ba is going to arsenal because van persie is going to man city.

Paper talk say he will go to anyone willing to pay 70,000 a week wages. I hope this isn't the case and stays at nufc!

I thought Simon Kjear had a good game for Denmark. Would he be a good signing for us as back up to Taylor and Colo. Seemed confident on the ball. Don't know much about him but thought I heard he's on loan somewhere which means he maybe available and not to expensive. Don't know how old he is?

We have been linked with him on a few sites, dont know if its all rubbish though, im going to reserve judgement on the lad till after denmarks germany and portugal games

He played, for roma last season.

He will definitely be leaving Wolfsburg this summer due to the animosity between him and the manager.

He's too good to be back up to Taylor and Coloccini, if he can rediscover his form like he played yday he would walk into our team

Would be a great signing, but wouldn't be happy as a back up player, would want to be part of the first team. Spent last season on loan at roma having falling out with the wolfsburg hierarchy, however he was disappointing for roma. Still think we should go in for him though as he would be available in our price range

Looks like a good player in the making, just needs more consistency. Would be a good signing as he is 23 but i doubt that we would pay the £7mill they want for hime.
