We need a 3rd goalkeeper. 2 is not enough. True, but the 3 keepers don't have to include Krul. Pav looked awful against Bolton like. We could easily go out and get another keeper as 3rd choice for next season and loan Krul out. I bet that next season we won't even use 3 keepers throughout the whole season. This season has just been a freak season with regards to our keepers injuries. Caig only made the bench a handful of times when he was here. Just get a stop gap in like he was and give Krul the games he needs on loan.

We've struggled to even find 5 fit players for our bench this season.

What is wrong with Spurs fans? The other day a Spurs fan was going off it saying Dawson is better than Woodgate as well.

A fit on form Owen is easily in the top 10 strikers in the Premiership.

he's class. dont really understand what your laughing about. Shit without Lennon tbh.

Ameobi?

It'll be better for Krul to go out on loan next season than to sit on our bench. Personally i would have Harper on the bench anyway. Harper is a good keeper. He's made a couple of mistakes this season but i wouldn't even call the one at Anfield a mistake really. It was more of a freak accident where he fell over, than a goalkeeping error. Was a shit kick on Saturday which lead to Bellamy scoring like but the pitch didn't help, and we've seen Given do that before. Krul was brilliant against Palermo but i think it is a bit of a knee jerk reaction for people to think he is the 2nd best keeper at the club. I remember not long ago there was a poll on here asking if Krul will be a better keeper than Given.

Ramage gets away with it cos he gives 100% and he loves Newcastle. I don't think he looks any better than the likes of Steve Caldwell did when he first broke through, and look where he is now.

I can't believe anyone would leave Milner out of the team after the way he's played this season. He's got quite a few assists, he's now scored a few goals and he works his arse off. I think some people forget how young Milner is cos he seems to have been around for so long. He can still improve a lot further as well.

N'Zogbia has frightening potential though. He's only young. Duff hasn't had any luck really. I think Duff might come good, but i'd hate to see him hold back N'Zogbia. I trust Roeder to know what he's doing though.

I really do not see why people rate Distin highly. We could do a lot better imo. Viduka is quality but he's a crock we could do without and he's not getting any younger.

No point in extending SJP. Its the perfect size for us as it is.

Depends who goes down for me so i won't single out players but i will say a right back, left back and centre back (Gooch if he impresses) to partner Taylor. The foward 6 are excellent. If we could only sign 3 players in the summer though then i wouldn't sign a right back. I would sign a left back, centre back and a striker. Nobby is more than capable at right back and although ideally we would sign a natural right back, i think the other 3 positions are more urgent for us.

I'd have Milner as one of the mainstays in the team now. I've been very impressed with him this season, but i've always rated him anyway. I couldn't believe it when we were gonna sell him to Villa.

Haha i forgot about Ameobi. I don't really rate him but i'd have him on the bench. Hopefully West Ham go down and we can get Ashton.

------------------------Given----------------------- Nobby------Taylor-------Gooch--------Edgar Milner-----Dyer---------Parker-------N'Zogbia -----------Owen----------Martins--------------- Subs: Harper Moore Butt Emre Duff Apart from our defenders we've got an excellent set of first team players with everyone fit. If Gooch proves to be a good defender and we can keep him Taylor and Nobby in defence for the rest of the season then we should be ok. Its the squads depth whats lacking.

:lol:

I wouldn't celebrate if i scored against Newcastle personally, but Bellamy isn't a Newcastle fan anyway. If i played against one of my former teams and scored (as long as it wasn't Newcastle obviously) then i would definitely celebrate.

For me 1-4 is awful, 5 is disappointing, 6 is average, 7 good, 8 very good, 9 outstanding, 10 unbelievable.

I'd love West Ham to go down. Their fans really did boil my piss with them sick chants they sung towards Roeder. Fair enough it was minority more than the majority, but for them few arseholes alone i hope they go down and stay down. Oh and Ashton would do nicely.

Hope this gets pointed out on the Legends tomorrow. The silence is deafening when Parker has a great game and someone praises him. If MacDonald can't throw any criticism in about his performance then he just shuts up all together. I'm not one of those people who actually follow the thought that the reason we went on a run towards the end of last season was because of Parker being injured. Recently we've won games against the likes of Spurs and Liverpool with Parker in the team and we got a very good draw against Manure as well. An on form Parker is one of our biggest assets IMO.

He was superb.

I'd love him back and he is too good for the smogs, but he is also too good for us. If the big four didn't come in for him i think the only chance we would have of getting him is if Boro went down (won't happen) or we got in the Champions League (won't happen). I'd love to be wrong though. Theres not many player who have became one of my all time favourite's without playing over a couple of seasons for us but he is definitely one of them.

Bellamy was one of the key reasons Shearer turned into a 25+ goal a season striker again. He ripped defences apart and made goals for Shearer and also made space for Shearer. He did that consistently. That in itself made him consistent for me throughout his time here when he partnered Shearer.

I'm interested to know what people think Ferdinand and Terry have actually got what Woodgate hasn't? Woodgate is consistently superb week in and week out when he is fit and now he is consistently fit as well *touch wood*. Woodgate is a superb reader of the game, has plenty of pace, brilliant man marker, good in the air, good passer of the ball, and he makes all those defenders around him play better. You never really see him give silly free kicks away and get booked. He is world class. The only thing Terry has over him is he is better in the air. Terry is overrated imo. And i am not saying he isn't a great defender because he is a great defender, but i do think he is overrated partly because of his goalscoring exploits. Defensively he can be suspect at times, although in the main he is usually quality. He isn't the quickest either. Ferdinand is an excellent defender and is a bit different from anything else we have. His concentration can go at times though. When Ferdinand is fully focused though he is world class. I still think Woody is the best we have out of the lot though because i don't see a weakness on the pitch with him. Thats my opinion anyway.
