Former Newcastle United captain Bobby Moncur has urged Albert Luque to prove his worth. The £9.5 million signing has shown little sign of living up to his billing since arriving at the club and Moncur – the last Newcastle United captain to lift a trophy way back in 1969 – has challenged the player to shine. His comments came after the former Deportivo La Coruna star turned in an insipid display as a substitute at Villa Park. Moncur believes Luque is showing little passion.

"He can even come and punch me in the nose if he wants – at least then he will be showing a bit of passion. That is what the Geordie crowd are asking for," said Moncur. "The thousands of Geordies who travelled to Villa on Sunday must have been thinking, 'what the heck is going on here?' The Newcastle fans are a knowledgeable crowd, and although they can sometimes sympathise when a player does not always have stacks of ability, one thing they will not accept is the wrong attitude which, in this case, is showing a lack of passion in a United shirt."

Lack of passion, and he looks incompetetant with the ball. Its why nobody attempted to relieve the pain, er, sign him...

Passion can't be conjured, coached, or anything. It's something you either have or you don't. Luque doesn't have it.

Ability doesn't mean anything in relation to success.

When I see Luque play I think of your average run of the mill NBA player. The guy is lazy, thinks he's arrived, and plain doesn't care about anything else but collecting his check.

For the record, I CAN'T STAND LUQUE! I wish we would GIVE him to Sundershit on a free!

Souness must have been smoking some serious crack when he purchased him, especially for 9.5 million.

I can think of at least three deals that Souness must've been smoking crack on. :mad:

All Liverpool fans thank Souness for stopping Benitez from even considering him with the price you got him for.
