Can't play 4-5-1 unless you have a pacy striker up top. Not ideal for Shearer. In any case, Bowyer, Butt, and Faye cannot hold possession or pass the ball. Holding possession is pretty much the whole point.
Bowyer doesnt score? haha, he scored the only one against deportivo i dont think our defense is acceptable by any means, it is not a defense that will get us anywhere near europe, bramble? buomsong? naw, get campbell
02-03 Leeds- West Ham 3 Goals, 25 Games 03-04 Newcastle United 2 Goals, 24 Games 04-05 Newcastle United 3 Goals, 27 Games Not good enough for a player who can't pass the ball. You'll be amazed at how capable that backline is when the club has a midfield that can actually hold possession.
Spurs about to sign Andy van der Meyde. This would be the perfect signing for us. He could take over Nobby's spot on the right wing or be the right forward in a 4-3-3. I hope they don't get Kuyjt because that would mean we would probaly go after Keane. http://skysports.planetfootball.com...s+in+shock+double+swoop&channel=football_home
Some Spurs fans are claiming that the deal is already in place. NUFC supposedly offered 5.5m for Keane, and Tottenham are waiting for the Kuijt deal to go through before selling. Hey, don't shoot the messanger.
Boumsong lobbies for Anelka At 4.5m, I'd take the gamble. At 6, I'd probably take the gamble, if upping it that high will get the deal done as some privately believe it may.
Schalke nears Baros deal Cross another striker linked to NUFC off the list, looks like. Not that I particularly care about Baros signing elsewhere or anything, it just underscores the inactivity of NUFC in addressing their most pressing need.
Watching Boa Morte in Fulham vs. MLS All-stars. I have to say I'm not very impressed with him. Imo DMB is a way better (and Justin Mapp). Edit Fulham is God awful and Boa Morte would be average in the MLS as a winger. He has got pace but somethings missing in his game. I think he's to soft. If he was American he wouldn't sniff a call up to the Nats. With that being said we still need him at Newcastle. What kind of universe do we live in where you can think a player sucks and you still want him on your team because your team has no one else in sight. WTF!!
Wow... this transfer season makes me feel like we are jsut continuing in our gigantic decline, relegation was only a few places away last term, and i cant feel Souness has no idea waht he is doing
Well, it was their pre-season and the team isn't used to all that heat... I'll bet their keeper Drobny gets sent off this season for handling outside the box, unless it's against Newcastle. Thx, Jay!
Yeah I know .....but the season starts in two weeks. I still think we need some speed on the edges and somebody use to playing on the wing so I won't be disappointed if we sign him. Some people might scoff at this but I think we should take a look a Justin Mapp now or hell DMB maybe this winter.
Real will let Owen go There you have it. FF had best at least make the call, or I will be even more disappointed than I already am with the board.
Newcastle is going down a slope. Fast. But we are still by no means a poor club! We bidded 20 million for rooney last term, and we have sold enough players and attracted large enough crowds the slump we are in is a SPORTING slump that can only be solved on the pitch and we will only improve on the pitch with new and BETTER players We cant get out of this by buying players that aretn any better than the ones we have right now, ********** our first team squad, they didnt win games for us any more than our crappy reserves lost them for us Serious and ambitious investment is the only thing that could prevent us from becoming just another Crappy midtable shame We need to stop fishing around for ************ players like boamorte and anelka and instead go for more quality signings, like at the level of Parker and Emre Souness! DO SOMETHINg
If we were willing to give rooney 20million i think that Gram would be the stupidestmaniger ever if he didnt offer 20million plus. I dont think were in a money crisis and if we land him it would be ooooooo so sweet. "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him DIE!!!!"
Newcastle bid for Viduka NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo
I think everyone one this board should start thinking that Mickey Owen is crap and I'll start a thread titled 'Should NUFC bid on crap Owen' and sure enough two days later will be in pole position to sign him.
