Getting as much as possible out of Nick Woltemade has been debated on BBC Radio Newcastle, with the Germany international having been used as both a striker and an attacking midfielder in his debut Premier League season.
Magpies supporter Martin told Total Sport's Simon Pryde: "If I was in Eddie Howe's shoes, I would be looking at the fact that I've got a player there who is not particularly happy with the way I'm playing him and asking him where do you want to play.
"I'd be talking to Julian Nagelsmann, his Germany manager and his previous manager [Stuttgart boss Sebastian Hoeness]."
Woltemade scored 12 Bundesliga goals last season in his only campaign at Stuttgart before his move to St James' Park.
"Kevin Keegan built the team around Andy Cole when he first arrived - he played to Andy Cole's strengths, added Martin.
