Azpilicueta is first choice for marseille so he too would want first team football. However we have to consider the club will play around 60 games this season, and the facts that brana may have to fill in at centre back sometimes, that any RB that joins should get at least 30 games.

I am actually not one of these against van der wiel but i wouldn't mind debuchy, he's a very accomplished full back. Telegraph has linked us with Piszczek from Dortmund aswell.

Yes, but Azpi is 5years younger.

Meh. Debuchy should become a Newcastle player soon enough. They need a quality RB & they have a great scouting network in France.

A Geordie friend of mine thinks Newcastle are really solid in the RB department. They have Davide Santon and Danny Simpson, so they don't really need Debuchy. He said they desperatly need a LB as Gutierrez had to play in the postion to often last season.

I thought Simpson was leaving, and Santon can play either full back role. Debuchy would be a real coup for them, because I would be very happy if we were to buy him ourselves.

Santon can play RB & LB...but i'm expecting Newcastle to sign either Debuchy or Vurnon Anita (can play DM & LB) from Ajax.

Just 8m! Why aren't we going for him?!!

That is freaking bargain!!!!

But agreed with Blulyon on Azpi. If we are going to spend somewhere around that region, best get Azpi who is younger and can grow with our team with the likes of Mata, Hazard, David Luiz and such.

Santon can play at LB but that is not his natural position. He is much more comfortable at RB. It's like playing Ashley at RB, capable but not comfortable. The only reason he gets played LB a lot was his days under Josè at Inter Milan. Maicon was too good a RB to be displaced by Santon and Inter lacking a real LB (Chivu & Cordoba are CBs) played Santon there.

Anything between £6-8m and I think we should get him. A lot of people going on about his age compared to Azpilicueta but you can't just buy a load of 21 year olds. The team needs the right blend of ages and you will still get at least 4-5 good years out of him. For that price I say take him.

He looks defensively very solid and disciplined whilst also looking good going forward.

the daily mirror is reporting a 6m fee from Chelsea. that would be brilliant imo.

debuchy can go up and down the right flank all day. his tracking back is still a little suspect because yesterday against ukraine, he got an unnecessary yellow for barging in on the attacker from behind because he was out of position. not sure if this is a weakness but overall he is sound in defence and offence. with debuchy and a CM, our team will actually look top class for a change.
