Newcastle FC (Aug 19)

[cbwhu]

he;s shot

was always a case of him being a good player/big threat if/when fit

but over the last 18 months he's not even been any good when he is fit

I guess it could be a case of him not fitting into a Pellegrini style side, but I don't think so

Its a complete and utter desperation signing. They should really be in for one long relegation battle this season

 

[Red]

I'd take him on a pay by the game deal.

We'd owe him £2.72.

 

[Sima]

Just bought Rod Stewarts house in Essex.

No one likes a braggart, mate

 

[Balboa]

Its a complete and utter desperation signing. They should really be in for one long relegation battle this season

But they've got Almoron and Joelington - proper class big money singings

 

[Fetch Fletch]

AN immense player IF they play to his strengths AND keep him fit.

 

[horselover]

will pay 4/5 games in total. He's weeks away from being fit even now. That's why he's only being offered a 1yr deal on low wages with large appearance bonuses

 

[DEfromBC]

Has he got his own special treatment table and physio prepared??Written into the contract?

No but probably would have a" pay as you play" deal lined up making it a very good deal

J

I thought that of Roy Keane but most on here would have him back in a heartbeat.



Which bit? And why?


Why should we forget Rafa? Steve Bruce is getting backed, fans singing his name ffs , fans ignoring a call for all out boycott, they are backing him, just a very small minority as ever who see him as a fat fuck who is shite.

True mate, but I very much doubt anyone on here would ever describe Keane as like able bloke

 

[Secret Visage]

62 appearances, 40 of them as substitute, in over 6 years. Scoring 26 goals

Equates to about 1 goal in two, but also, 4 goals a calendar year.

Bruce

 

[Superbadross]

How does he even pass a medical in the first place?

 

[JL1985]

Wow! Newcastle are desperate. No plan, no hope. We'll be playing them in the league next season.

Bruce

????

142 games, 95 starts 34 goals are his stats

 

[robbied1]

Funny thing is the mags will give him a heros reception when he steps out at st james, like a returning messiah, yet the rest of footballing world know he is gash

34 in 95 starts is decent enough mind

 

[ab 65]

Liverpool might buy him again for 35M.....I am still annoyed at Sunderland getting rid of Henderson so cheaply (20M) I said it at the time and I am spot on today....

Me and you both. Should have used Carroll’s price as the benchmark and said so at the time.

 

[Dinsdale]

Anybody ever signed one of these? The type of contract that is only ever mentioned on here.

iirc Darren Anderton at Bournemouth did and was available for nearly every game

yeah but a the sub appearances add up to more too

4 goals in the last 2 seasons is a more telling one

he's past it

568 minutes last season - 1 goal
859 minutes the year before - 3 goals

 

[Daniels]

He will snap his ankle during the medical.

 

[Howard the Duck]

Bruce's teams are hardly known for avoiding player injuries or good rehabilitation even at the best of times. No hope with Carroll.

 

[G Force]

Good signing. Watch him stay fit for them
