A mixture of being too lightweight for the league and being misused by the management. he was played on the left wing too much when he preferred the centre. he was also made the scapegoat of our failings in the uefa cup when most of the side was poor, admittedly he was one of the worst. Souness didnt fancy him so after a loan spell away moved on from the club. Could have been good imo, but wasnt to be.

Another pathetic decision from the chelsea board. smacks of ranieri again, but then look what happened after he left. just like at man city you would have to be insane to walk in there, money always talks though. Maybe mancini can sell up his newcastle home and settle in london.

Hull have looked great. passing going forward and the runs players are making are excellent. first class goal too, had manure scored it they would have been wetting themselves

Would be a good sign that the mls is actually an attractive option and alternative to england, spain or italy. think he would do very well over here, i dont think he will harm himself by coming over his stock is already low, a confidence building year amoungst a few familiar faces and fans that would idolise him over here could easily propel him back into a mid/lower premier team later on.

question is will red nose throw in the towel now. 10th premiership, finally won the champions league again. whats left to play for?

Fantastic at club level. shite like andy cole for england.

Surely they cant afford him? wages might not be a problem but the transfer fee surely would! did they win again tonight? they have been looking good under carver.

Think he would be a solid signing that i would be pleased about. as long as the fee is fair i think he would be ideal. the one thing we dont need at lb is potential, we have enrique, tozer and kadar. shorey would give enrique quality competition and solid experience, he is a player for now. he wouldnt throw his toys out the pram if he was left out of the side and would serve as the perfect foil for enrique to come through imo.

They are talking 16m euros though. old news.

Didnt he say he would probably have to take a job abroad after the england job (no shit). like to see more english managers and players Abroad. mclaren could stop that trend before it starts.

Either way he has been intricately close to the club and would have better links than most.

Since when did we need a reason?

Someone really needs to tell Vetere and Jimenez to stop handing out spurs business' cards instead of ours when finishing meeting prospective targets.

parma need 2 goals to stay up now.

Great goal. nice sub!

You're in you're own Field of comedy gold with that pun.

Its more the fact there isnt anywhere for the majority of players to go when they leave school. if they had a structured league system with relegation and promotion the league would be moving up there. its the most played sport in n.america. franchises are a big problem too.

Least of manures worries when fergie announces his retirement after beating chelsea next week!

sad news. thoughts go out to his family

I thought grant rated him. he had a great run after xmas in the team.. more a case of them wanting to keep him. id hope we would be in with a chance if he is up for grabs, half the premiership would be after him though.

Swps no contest. cant see him coming here though.

Harper predictably has done well, he is a much better keeper than anyone outside newcastle will ever give him credit for. I wouldnt cry into my cornflakes if we managed to get some good money for given. doubt we would get half as much as people on here would reckon though.

He was a beast up to the ACN. Looked very shaky for a big period after though. not the leader at the back we have lacked since woodgate. but maybe dunne or the new cb we bring in will be.

CONFUSION. I thought Fulham nicked it. No one seems to know how it works though.

All of the above have been linked with us over the past couple of months, they would also all cost roughly around the same (12m). Which would you like to see? Personally I havent seen anything of Gomis, I'd love us to sign someone thats young and upcoming though. Whilst I'd rate Ashton the best of the rest I'm not convinced he wuldnt be on the injury list with Viduka. So I plumped for Bent, I think he would certainly give us something different, pace power and goals, not a world beater but a perfect blend of what we need.
