What, training with us? Riiiiight. Was he definitely training with us. Enrique is the Spanish version of the French Henry I believe.
-
Swiss Henry might have been Enrique by the way.

Dare you to name which one you think its going to be. In 2005, I was delighted with all our summer signings. Most were a let down. Fact is, you can just never predict how they'll do until they are thrown in, and it will take a while to work out just how well a player is doing. I remember when we signed Gooch, and he was the answer, yet when I got from the Fulham game on his debut, I realised he might not be up to it, and a few games later the general consensus on here was that he was one for the scrapheap. But it does take quite a few games to really see howa player will fare, so I'm not going to unfairly target a player, particularly as I know nothing about Capaca and Enrique. I'll stick my neck out though and say that it won't be Geremi.

Also, Allardyce said when he signed Rozehnal that even if he starts and performs in all pre-season matches, it is likely he will start his Premiership career on the bench iirc.

This game is impossible to call - too many unknowns.
-
The optimism now doesn't compare with that of summer 2005 in my opinion. Except we forget with hindsight how happy we all were now we've seen pretty much all the signings made that summer disappoint. Thus far, I am neutral - we've got the bodies and operated effectively in the market, but arethe players good enough? Ask me in November if I am satisfied.
-
There is a fair chance that at least one of our new signings will disappoint, but thats football, it is rare to get every signing right first time.
-
Just a thought, perhaps Roddy MacDonald arranged for Delaney to be sent down here to provide the player with a second opinion before deciding whether or not to continue playing.
-
Thats what we'd be getting from Roeder last season. Woodgate will be a Newcastle player in 12 months in my opinion.
-
I do genuinely semi-think thats Roeder.

WOW joker. WOW spacka. BELLEND! Hold on. Why did you just edit that post from LEGEND to BELLEND. Did you think they meant the same, or are you indecisive? When you say indecisive do you mean by lack of firmness in decision making or do you feel I am confused which one of the two he is? Both.

Fixed. Is that a corporate box for Shepherd's company? How long will that last, I wonder?
-
Marseille's Nasri is amazing, can't believe he is currently at the bottom. In two years time, I will be bumping this poll, and everyone else will look a fool.
-
Thats not Gooch, that's Helder. Two people to the right of Roeder might be Woodgate as well.

Of those four, only Nasri will become world class.

I did say that Enrique would play for NUFC one day. I might have meant a different enrique, but no-one can prove it.
-
My head is smaller than Sam's btw.

I said that last season that players including Taylor were too worried about finding out how much longer was left to play from the bench, that it was negatively affecting their end of half/game concentration, and suggested more clocks, and got a right bollocking from people on here. Looks like the new management agrees with me though.
-
Opinion is very one-sided right now it would seem.
-
You can tell when the start of a new season is going to go badly when HTT comes back from a preseason game and comes out with loads of positives.

Who missed?
