    David Bentley

    In a nutshell, he is a pacier and more flamboyant Solano, who today proved that he can still stand out when playing alongside very good players.

    Buy at any cost. He's worth it.
  4. Loaned him anyway, but it was down to fitness, Capello likes a consistent defence.
  5. Both Jose and Zog lasted the full game at left back. Spain won 2-0 with an own goal, and a goal from Spain's right winger.
  6. I vaguely remember reading that Capello hasn't seen Upson play for West Ham. Therefore a big surprise if true.
  7. Supposed to be finding out on the bus on the way there or something like that. Gerrard being the only one certain of starting. Not saying it's one way or another, but according to the BBC report, the press seem to have announced todays team based on the bibs players were wearing yesterday.
  8. Didn't Capello say that the players would not find out his teams until the last meal before agame?
  9. Although I like Cacapa, I dont think this is his type of game, so I'd give him a rest.

    Emre

    Yep, remainder of the season. I think both are still good in the right conditions, but both fade throughout matches and don't keep up with high tempo. They are both a little similar in terms of their passing range from deep, and the fact that they can take a good set piece when they are feeling sharp, with Geremi being the slightly more defensive of the two. I think Barton can complement both. Try and guess which half we need to be a little more cautious in to choose who starts. I think Butt is a '45er' as well, but his passing/ability to take a set piece is nowhere near as good.

    Emre

    One thing I'd like to try on a short term basis, but doubt I'll see, is a system where Emre gets 45 minutes, and Geremi gets 45 minutes, and both players are instructed to play at a higher intensity safe in the knowledge that they are playing just the 45 minutes.
  12. The difference between various Asian nationals is very different and clear if you take time to know them.
  13. We didnt nearly sign that twat in January, he just had a trial. Like he did at some other clubs including Pompey. That was another player.
  14. Nah, I'mfine, I can handle it, just sleepy

  18. probley mentioned somewere else but why were baye n faye not back on sunday but Kamara etc were? I suspect Keegan wants to check them out in training - he hardly knows them
  19. I asked: If you had a time machine, and could go back to some time between 1992 and 1997, and could bring back one of your former players to play in the current Newcastle team, who would it be?
  20. No, because of people like this: http://www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum/index.php?topic=49675.msg1191890#msg1191890

    Got my stats slightly wrong btw, it's 9 in 10.

    Ryan Donaldson

    In a recent interview, Wenger said that he reckons the England U17's have finally reached the level he expects from an international youth team, and said that he'd be happy to bring the majority of the squad to Arsenal's academy if he could. Newcastle's only representative in this squad, Ryan Donaldson, has scored 9 in 6. Looks very promising.
