To be fair to Shearer he's acknowledged that he didn't do enough to keep the team up. I'm sure he's just as clueless as to whether or not, ultimately, he has the ability to be a good NUFC manager. There is no evidence, really, it's a question of faith.
He's been bloody good since Rodgers has arrived. If you do buy anyone off us, Tommy Smith (albeit an ex-Mackem) is a class act in the Championship and we're not a position to say no to £2M or so.
Nathan Dyer (Southampton)
Andrew Surman (Southampton)
Peter Whittingham (Cardiff)
Lee Croft (Norwich)
Tommy Smith (Watford)
Kris Commons (Derby) (May be a bit overpriced though)
Chris Gunter (Spurs) (If he hasn't already signed for Forest)
Paul Anderson (Liverpool) (If he hasn't already signed for Swansea)
Jordi Gomez (Espanyol) (Utter class for Swansea this season)
Marlon King (Wigan) (He's a wanker, I don't think a Prem side will want him and he's class in the Championship)
David Fox (Coventry)
Nicky Bailey (Charlton)
Matthew Mills (Doncaster)
Brian Stock (Doncaster)
Simon Cox (Swindon)
Gary Hooper (Scunthorpe)
David Martin (Millwall)
A small list of players who I rate who'd definitely be attainable (price-wise).
Who the fuck are these players?! Christ, this is relegation. It's really hit me now.
Interested in what people think of our ginger midfield general. He's had a strange time since he signed for us and has been here during the turmoil that has existed since the departure of SBR. He's had as many highs and lows as any player I can think of in recent times. Whatcha fink?
I miss a Newcastle player. I mean, a player who you feel is genuinely playing for the club and for the right reasons. Shearer, Speed, Lee, Solano. Even Dabizas, W. Barton, Lee Clark, etc.
