24-year-old Janmaat joins the United having put pen to paper on a six-year-deal for a fee believed to be around £5 million. He becomes our sixth signing of the summer to date following the arrivals of Ayoze Perez, Jack Colback, Siem de Jong, Remy Cabella and Emmanuel Riviere.
He was a regular for his previous club Feyenoord making a total of 74 appearances for the Dutch club, scoring five goals along the way. He also chipped in with seven assists last season but couldn’t do enough to help his team win the league, losing out to Siem De Jong’s Ajax in the end.
His good form earned him a call up to the Netherlands World Cup squad where he started two group games and put in a few impressive performances before being dropped for the knockout rounds. He did make three very good substitute appearances in the latter rounds and even set up the third goal in Netherlands’ final game against Brazil.
This is what he had to say in his first interview as a Newcastle player:
“Newcastle is a fantastic club, with a big history and a great stadium. I have also been told all about how great the fans are,” said Janmaat.
He added: “This is the perfect move for me, and I am really looking forward to being with the team and getting started here at Newcastle. I think we are going to have a great season.”
This is Mr Pardew’s take on the signing:
“We are delighted to bring Daryl to the Club. He is the perfect example of a modern full-back; someone who is good defensively but offers a real threat going forward as well.”
Adding: “Daryl had an excellent World Cup and we are looking forward to him continuing that form for Newcastle.”
Here is a quick YouTube video of Janmaat in action. Just to whet your appetite a little…
Another signing done, the squad is shaping up nicely and the atmosphere around the club has improved dramatically in the last few days though there are still grumbles here and there. Is he an improvement on Mathieu Debuchy? Well that is up for debate and I’m sure debate it we will but I’m just glad we have got him in before letting Debuchy join Arsenal.
What are your thoughts on Janmaat and the summer transfers in general? Is letting Debuchy go for a fee in the region of £10m and replacing him with a player at half the price a good piece of business?
I imagine Jonas, Ben Arfa, Marv and Obertan will be gone or playing for the reserves. Good and Bigi will go out on loan. I think they are done with Fergie….

Tiote flew out to NZ I believe, he wants to play. That man doesn’t need a “rest” like the rest of the WC puffs 😉

I’m here, Troy, but I’m struggling to contain my giggles reading some of this tripe. 😆

Think we more likely to play 4-2-3-1
krul; Santon; Colo; Willo; Janmaat; Tiote; Anita; Sissoko; SDJ; Cabella; Riviera
with
Elliott; Haidara; MYB; Saylor: Raylor; Abeid, Colbeck; Gouffran, Vuckic, Perez; Cisse
as the second 11 which looks a bit light to me.

Well though the match is being televised over my way it doesn’t look like its on live and I’ll have to wait until tomorrow night to watch it. Better than nothing I suppose

MDS its not played into t/morrow mate

Yeah Ice it’s actually being played in the middle of the night for me but it’s not being shown here until like 15 hours later.

I’m happy that we haven’t got rid of many fringe players yet though. They must be having a look at them first to see how they’re doing in pre-season. Fergie, Sammy, Good, Dummett, Vuckic, Marv all have a shot
I think. Obertan and Jonas less so…
Will be interesting to see who is judged worthy…
ToonDarnSarf(Quote)
Anyone been to many reserve games and seen these fringe players in action? Any insights?

@ kIMTOON
bit keen over here i noticed i got here 12 to early 😆 😆 😆
TOONARMYELITE(Quote)
I think our key players next season will be Obertan and S Taylor.
Ben(Quote)
@ Ben

Wow some heavy discussions were being had last night on here… along Stuart and Troy’s love in! 😛
‘Where are you Stuart, I need you”
“I am here Troy, I can’t be with you right now”
“But Stuart, I am here all alone”
“We’ll be together soon Troy”

C’mon lads

Like the look of the Arons kid, wonder if he will get a good chance this season, hope so
Simon(Quote)
Haidara looks good down that left side and Colback is solid in the middle of the park.
Good line up today like, mix of old, new and young

Well done siem

wont get an easier one than that all season
Premandup(Quote)
PREM, yeah I wouldn’t say no to a few gifts like that 😀
kIMTOON(Quote)
Well done Riviere too, most forwards would have tried for the goal themselves, first thing he did was look for the better option.
richietoon(Quote)
Finally we have someone with a cool head who can put the ball in the net.
(even if it was empty 😯 )
Last season we were missing that. Tiote would have blasted it over the bar.

2 nowt Riviere

Rivere opens his account 😀

Riviere scores 😛
Good work Goofy

another gift
kIMTOON(Quote)
Great goal 🙂
Newkie(Quote)
What a finish by the defender 😆
Newkie(Quote)
Newkie….1st keeper miss kicked Riviere layed it off to De Jong to slot home from long range ish, 2nd good work from Gouff on the right played it across and Riviere taped in from close range, 3rd Yanga hit a one from outside box took a deflection and went in.
richietoon(Quote)
That’s more like it 😳
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
Richie-it’s just as I thought. All of our goals were made by flukes and not good play, we’re going down this season! 😐
Newkie(Quote)
Looking good so far. Can’t make my mind up if they are equivalent to championship or league 1, but as this is getting the lads fit and seeing how they gel, look alright. The kid looks good and new lads too
Simon(Quote)
Percy’s half time substitutions should be interesting
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
Newkie….aye, without a doubt 😉
richietoon(Quote)
On the road home. Just logged in to see an update while I have a pie and tea for dinner. Hope the game is worth watching. Usually it isn’t when Sydney play – I imagine they’ll be even worse with ADP.
Anyway, good scorline so far. Nice to see who the scorers were.
brisvegas(Quote)
Bris…do you mean it was nice for you to see or that you want to see? If it’s the latter then @653 is a brief run down 😉
richietoon(Quote)
Did Colback ever take corners for the scum? Or is it just that we’ve got nobody else?
Newkie(Quote)
Larsson was their main corner taker I think
richietoon(Quote)
Good work Perez, poor finish tho
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
Richie-aye he was, but I thought even when he was off other people would take them, I seem to remember Gardner doing it when he used to play?
Just wondering if we actually have anyone who can take a good corner. I bet De Jong could but sadly he’s probably one of the best players in the air for us 🙄
Newkie(Quote)
Saying that Colback hasn’t been bad, just wondering whether he will be first choice.
Newkie(Quote)
Remy Cabella will be able to take them methinks
richietoon(Quote)
Still lacking any creativity in midfield
Beardsleys Boots(Quote)
goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal
richietoon(Quote)
4.0 Adam Armstrong 😀
kIMTOON(Quote)
nice goal Arma 😛
