Unless ricki's wanting to train Hearfield as a right back (which could happen?) then there is no point in getting another midfielder for this season. Hearfield has added spark to newcastle play whenever he came on and could be potentially very good but i dont think he is what the nix require considering the current squad.
We need a natural right back, that is there specialist position- not a makeshift central defender.
I'd love to see Sigmund at the nix but realisitically we need a right back.
I think our midfield has probably the biggest depth in the league with the signings we've made and the players from last year - it's going to leave good players on the bench!
Mids:
Ferrante
Bertos
Gao
Daniel
Johnson
Brown
McKain
Lia
Aloisi
Christie
To add Hearfield to that would be kinda dumb.
Or, dare I say it, does this mean Ricki is committing to 3-5-2
