Viduka at Newcastle [R]

Yes the old debate about the different leagues.

The premier league is now the benchmark, but they all have different attributes. I find serie a and the Bundesliga the most boring of the leagues I have watched... Bar the A league.... zzzzz

I watched Boca Juniors play in December. Man talk about passionate futbol and crowds. Arrrriba!

Considering the last 3 clubs he's been at have all been relegated, then i'd stay away from him. He has to be cursed.

haha hardly his fault in all 3 clubs!

Bundesliga is not boring at all!

I have to agree with Wezza here the bundesliga has some quite good attacking football and also had the highest crowd attendance's in all of europe in the season that just passed..

Agreed. Im not sure what it is but I've loved what i've seen of the bundesliga. They have a habit of trying to pass the ball into the net.

Man. I got hammered on The Bundesliga comment. I have friends that are German and go for Hamburg and Werder Bremen. They come and watch a few of the games at my place. Maybe I just fire them up about boring tactical strategic football that lacks passion.

I stand corrected (retreats to blue corner)

Ja das is gut.

Oh and back on topic.

I hope Dukes hangs around and picks up a decent club. He is fundamental to us doing well.

Kennedy has a while to go and well I just dont rate McDonald. And if I get hammered on that one I am going to come back swinging

Against Oceanic countries???

He was fundamental to us doing well however as time progresses I see his use to the team changing from an ever-present on-field general, to a behind-the-scenes motivator and teacher of our upcoming attack-minded youth. His wealth of experience is invaluable to us however we must find a replacement (a good, reliable one), quickly and let go of the past in that sense.

Dukes Agent: He's staying in England and going to SA

Somehow I'm not entirely sure if this would be a good move.

If he is hungry, however...I still do not know.

If he is hungry then pie vendors beware...

We won't be playing against the ******** in the World Cup, though. At least not right away.

Carn Dukes... Put pen to paper ...http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-sport/portsmouth-close-in-on-viduka-report-20090730-e35u.html

Hanging up the boots or hanging up on the Premiership?

is that it then?

And Verbeek still wants to call him up?!?

There is no way he deserves to be called up to the national squad for 2010. Even if he was to improve our play, he doesnt deserve to go to this world cup.
