Newcastle Brazilian Star To Get Lots Of Games Next Season

11:25 am, Thursday, August 9th, 2012 by Ed Harrison · 102 Comments

With Newcastle likely to play a lot of games in the coming season, James Perch – also known by his alter ego as Brazilian star Perchinho (at least on this web-site) – is one fringe player who will get lots of games for Newcastle United in the coming season, and will likely play a lot of his football in Europe too.

Newcastle’s James Perch - also know as Brazilian star Perchinho

James Perch has proved himself a very reliable player for Newcastle, whether it be in either full-back position, center-back or in defensive midfield, and last season he became a well respected player of the squad, after struggling in his first season at the club.

Perch seems to be looking forward to the coming season and was interviewed by the local press this morning:

“When you look at it, we’ve got the European games, and hopefully a better cup run than in the last couple of years.” “That means more games in the calendar for Newcastle, which hopefully means more games for me.”

“Versatility’s the key, and I’m willing to step in wherever and whenever.” “It was good.” “It was a tough test coming here. We knew we’d have to put in a shift – they’re a physical side – but, to be fair, the lads put the game to bed in the first 20 minutes.”

“I thought we played some great stuff.” “The great support we had will have seen we passed the ball really well and scored some good goals.” “When you’ve got players like Shola, Marveaux and Romain up front, and Gosling playing in behind with his creativity and his late runs into the box, you’re going to get goals.”

“We had fresh subs coming on – Hatem and Mehdi Abeid – and they played really well, as well.” “We’ve been gearing ourselves up for this Tottenham game for the last six or seven weeks. It’s a tough start to the season – we know the fixtures we’ve got.”

“We’ve got the European fixtures too.” “It’s about getting fit, getting minutes under our belt, staying injury-free and being as well prepared as we can be.” Perch, who played his part in last season’s Europa League qualification, says he’s good to go.”

“I’m pleased. I’ve got minutes under my belt. Touch wood, I’m injury-free.” “I can’t be more pleased.” “That was my aim before the start of pre-season.” “It’s tough if you get an injury.”

Good words form James Perch there, and he may yet be the reason that Newcastle hold off on signing another center-back this summer.

That’s because he can play well alongside a recognized center-back, and young Curtis Good could also come through the ranks very quickly next season.

James was impressive in the central defensive midfield position on Tuesday night at Victoria Park, before he went back to center-back, and it’s versatile players like James who are so important to any successful squad.

Perchinho made 28 appearances for Newcastle last season, and if he’s in the same form he was earlier this year, he will see even more playing time next term for Newcastle.

Wonder if he’ll make the Brazilian squad for the World Cup in 2014?

What do you think?

Comments welcome.

Note – this article is dedicated to those Newcastle fans with a sense of humor.

Hmm..
2 Tsunki // Aug 9, 2012 at 11:30 AM

Really really genuinely sorry about that I was just testiong to see which kn*b would post first and it turned out to be me. Sorry.

Perchinho has proved the critical use of utility players last season. We need a couple of these lads to last the rigours of a season because we just can’t afford two sets of first-teamers like Chelski and Citeh.
3 Tsunki // Aug 9, 2012 at 11:31 AM

Please please please don’t let me claim ALL the medals lads -keep this thing alive!

Diarra will sign for west ham before monday. U heard it here first
5 MagpiesFlyHigh // Aug 9, 2012 at 11:33 AM

If we sign two blue-chip players and as a result we get six points more over a whole season and gain ONE position in the final table then that is worth about £800k (maybe more)

So if we are only £500,000 short of a player valuation who Pards thinks can make that kind of difference to the team then we should edge up our final bid to get them in.

You can speculate to accumulate and get shafted like the Bindippers last season or you can be canny….without damaging your team’s chances.
6 Tsunki // Aug 9, 2012 at 11:38 AM

The rat-eaters jut spent silly, no maths involved like yours MFH. They just looked at the imperative of CL, and like so many teams before, they peed money in all the wrong corners. KKK was such a has-been ha ha how didn’t they spot that? I know we’ve had some neggers crawling back into the blog gingerly, it feels like a whole crowd are ready to pounce come the transfer window closing, but I would rather we consolidated wisely than f*rted cash on dross like the mackems did last couple of years, and get nowhere at all. But on he other hand there is the ol’ saying “spoiling the ship for a ha’porth o’ tar”…
7 shear-class // Aug 9, 2012 at 11:39 AM

Although Perch had a good season i hope we buy some better quality players in ,too keep him out of the first team and the subs bench, Im not keen on him really
8 Tsunki // Aug 9, 2012 at 11:42 AM

shear-class – but to do that we would need a battleship full of gold to buy two full teams. We should be grateful players like Perchy exist. They are the ‘cleaners’ of the team, doing the jobs many don’t want to do. plus he actually does his job(s) well. He doesn’t have to be world class, he just needs to hold the thing together when called on and I think he does it better than most, surprisingly so.

West ham will sign frenchman diarra by monday
10 Tsunki // Aug 9, 2012 at 11:45 AM

11 WWYCD // Aug 9, 2012 at 11:46 AM

Really? Perch really going to get minutes next season?
12 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Aug 9, 2012 at 11:47 AM

Who needs Anita when you have the Perchinho?

That’s a joke, if that was unclear to anyone.

As Tsunki said, it’s important we have these type of players. One’s that are prepared to wait for when they’re needed and still do a decent job when called upon.

I’d be a bit gutted if we sold him (not suggesting we will, just reflecting on his progress), never thought I’d feel that way about Perch. What a funny old couple of seasons at the toon.

I wonder who will be the new hero to rise from the depths of Newcastle fan criticism?

He’s not a starter but a reliable squad player, he could even be a late developer so may continue to improve for a few more years yet. All top teams need players like perch who accept they may not be first choice but give their all when they play.

See derby have a couple of very good prospects in will Hughes and mason Bennett, I imagine we would have looked at them. But I guess our young purchases will be from overseas, which reminds me what happened to the two argies Derek flew over to possibly sign!
25 pardews plan B // Aug 9, 2012 at 11:55 AM

I still wouldn’t mind if we had perch playing alongside tiote. He’s a great tackler and actually plays a safe simple ball away more often than cheick. He’s improved quickly and could do that job at least until January.
26 cyprus // Aug 9, 2012 at 11:55 AM

On previous article. AP free hint to look good next year. Play ben arfa regularly (ie pick him right after krul). We have previously made the same mistake with the likes of bellamy and gjnola dont do the same our season came alive with him on. Perch not perchinio can play or not same to me

28 newcastlesources2012 // Aug 9, 2012 at 11:58 AM

My sources tell me that deschamps has left ben arfa out of the france squad for game against uraguay
29 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Aug 9, 2012 at 11:58 AM

Tiote – Jonas

HBA – Yo – Marv

Cisse / Ba

Looks pretty good to me.
30 geordie157 // Aug 9, 2012 at 11:58 AM

Perch put in some excellent tackles and blocks last season, and agree there he keeps things simple when passing which is fine

Isn’t there also an issue of his fitness? If he’s not ready for Spurs, then he is not ready for a France friendly.

Hopefully it’s not a sign of things to come for Benny’s sake. But for Newcastle, I’m glad in this instance.

43 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Aug 9, 2012 at 12:08 PM

Mark….When you look at that line-up, I can only see Anita taking Jonas’ spot, after that it’s depth needed only. No more starting players…except in defense.

HBA being dropped is there loss and our gain. Keep leaving him out I say that way we get him to ourselves

47 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Aug 9, 2012 at 12:11 PM

Mark…I’d like to amend that actually. I haven’t really seen Anita play much, so from what people say, he’d take Jonas’ spot. For me, Jonas belongs on the pitch until I see someone else more deserving do it for the toon.
48 ROSHAN MAGPIE // Aug 9, 2012 at 12:11 PM

yes Cabaye and Ben arfa left out of France squad good for us
49 markmac // Aug 9, 2012 at 12:12 PM

IBIZA – yes mate, and i dont see AP wanting to drop jonas anyway,but anita would be a cracking signing i reckon, and AP has said he likes versatility [which is obvious looking at when hes played raylor n perch i guess] but im definately liking jonas playing in that deeper role, think it suited him when he played in there in some of the pre season friendlies
50 WWYCD // Aug 9, 2012 at 12:13 PM

HBA has hardly proved he should be in the french squad tbf got a chance in the Euros and spat his dummy out

I’ve watched that Mason Bennet of Derby quite a bit, including playing for England U-16′s. If he keeps his head in the right place, a real star of the future.
53 geordie157 // Aug 9, 2012 at 12:15 PM

Ibiza I guess I just need to see more of him in role. I still think gosling could play alongside tiote with cabaye in front of them
54 t00ntime // Aug 9, 2012 at 12:16 PM

When ben arfa reaches his peak, france will be the ones missing out, he has the ability to become one of the best in the world.

Players lyk ribery get picked for there name when if u watched the euros u wud of seen how useless ribery is, he has his pro’s lyk speed but his cons list is massive, starting with the fact that he wud rather shoot from an impossible angle instead of passing it too someone in the middle for a tap in

Also Jonas played at lb for maradona, he hasn’t the speed that he had once. I think dml suits him at the moment.

There never has been an end product to Jonas and he is now a yard off the pace. On the bench at best.

@ post 4:

09.43: Remember Alou Diarra? He was one of several ‘new Patrick Vieiras’ signed by Gerard Houllier at Liverpool. He went on to make a total of zero Premier League appearances for the Reds. Well, according to the Daily Mail website, he is on the verge of signing for West Ham from Marseille for £2m.

That’s from f365′s transfer blog, which is where I heard it first (notice the time stamp?), so stop being a tool eh.
65 Dannyo // Aug 9, 2012 at 12:25 PM

Cabaye is out cause he’s injred.
HBA tho, it angers me this, cause Deschanp leaves him out due to personal issues 3 years ago, club issues.
If he’s asked, ofc he’ll pin it on the noise in Blancs camp.
Deschamp will lie the socks off himself and pin it on that.
Everybody will nod and go home.
In the meantime HBA will get demotivated unless he manages to shift focus.
HBA will not, and mark my words, not play in the national team until Deschamp leaves.
And that angers the hell outta me, it just shows a complete lack of ability to move on.

81 Graeme // Aug 9, 2012 at 12:48 PM

Towards the end of last season, Jonas was way off the pace, which, when coupled with his inability to deliver the final ball into the box, indicates his days on the wing are just about over.

He could well be suited to a more midfield role, or even as a LB. Without the sentiment, I don’t think he will be first choice after this season. He has been one hell of a signing though!!
82 WWYCD // Aug 9, 2012 at 12:49 PM

Les
Yeah I was refering to his bust up with the manager. Although I would lob him falling out with team mates in with that as well after his past he should of been keeping his head down and showing his stuff on the pitch but he got involved with other things not the way to prove he should be getting picked specially by a manager he already has a poor history with

Just read your post mate

Jon Dahl did go on to greater things…He was very young when he came to us and it didn’t help him that Shearer got long term injured. I actually think Jon Dahl was our only striker for a while.

I don’t think he could bear the responsibility

Preben Arentoft, now that’s an oldie His nickname was Benny though as you stated.

Did you know that until the early ’80s only amateurs were allowed to play for the Danish Nationalteam? “Benny” played for Denamrk before he moved abroad to Scotland after that he wasn’t allowed anymore.
