Aye so we offered him a new contract this summer with the intentions of releasing him to West Ham for a free transfer.

Which won't be anything to shout about since Ameobi is gonna be the 2nd choice big man striker, while Smith is gonna be playing deeper and will get less games than Ameobi up top.

I think Ameobi's future at Newcastle is under threat now and he definitely has to deliver this season. Its said every season, but Allardyce won't keep him if he doesn't do the business. If Amoebi doesn't impress, and Carroll goes out on loan and does the business i think he might be out of the door come summer 2008.

Allardyce was saying today that he doesn't think he will have to look for another keeper as cover since the injury isn't too bad. In other words he won't recall Krul back either way.

Probably why he's not a fan of Parker then.

Some people actually want Taylor to fail though. Comments like "never be good enough". Fucking bollocks tbh.

He's not ready yet. Don't even mention him as a future England player on here though. You'll get your head blown of cos apparently he's shit.

Anywhere with a match report online or anything? Not very important but i'm still interested.

ITS GLEN TIME

It doesn't show enough ambition getting these players on the cheap. we look as if we're going to have to sell to buy, not a good sign. To me it shows we've brought in quality players for free and signed an English midfielder for less than he's worth. If we had spent £35m on these players would you have been happier? I thought all of our fans would have learnt from the past. Its not about the price you pay, its the quality you get. We've spent so much on shit over the years. I'm hoping this is a sign of things to come with the quality we seem to have brought in.

I bloody hope you're joking. The amount we've spent makes me even happier.

Such a shame we didn't get Distin in now cos he can play at left back as well. Babayaro would be well gone.

:lol: Fucking spot on son

They've probably gone back over to RTG now.

Part of a defence that conceded 3 goals against us. He must be shit. Business as usual.

Very happy and very impressed. If thats the summer signings over then its been an excellent transfer window for us. If we manage to bring in a natural right back or left footed defender i'd be ecstatic.

I'm very happy with the blend of experience Allardyce is bringing in. So far he's signed a 21 year old, 24 year old, 26 year old, 27 year old, 28 year old and two 31 year olds. Roeder was saying he was only interested in signing players under 25 i think it was. He had his heart set on the likes of Gareth Bale and Curtis Davies, will dismissing the likes of Sol Campbell cos they were at the wrong side of their careers.

How tall is he?

Allardyce has impressed me beyond words this summer in the transfer market.

If we sign that other defender we might as well just keep Ramage for this season and loan out Edgar and Huntington. Ramage is never gonna be a quality defender and he won't get much out of going on loan. I've got high hopes of Edgar though so a season out on loan could be the making of him then we could fuck Ramage of next season. Huntington needs to improve 300% if he wants to make it at the top.

We cannot get rid of 7 players.

Brilliant. I've got images in my head of Newcastle having a defence better than a Sunday league team. I'm not used to it

seriously though you bought jermaine jeenas for fucks sake. And spent 17million on darren bent. I would say Smith is at least 1/3 of the player Bent is, which removes any bragging rights you have. He may do well, you never know. 7 million on Jenas was a very good price considering what certain players are going for today. Bent was overpriced but i dont agree that Smith is 1/3rd of the player Bent is. And you're gonna win the league and Dawson is better than Woodgate.
