That was very difficult, when you start seeing all those names and remembering their abilities. Many on the fringe that don't really deserve to be fringe players.

Never played in a Keegan team before but.
-
Not too difficult to see Owen taking number 2 spot from Cole if he stays free of injury, so, no chance then.
-
I'll get back to this thread around August 1st.
-
It just shows where the power lies in football, if a player wants to go to a club he'll usually end up where he wants to go as long as that club is interested.
Didn't work with Modric, assuming any truth in hearsay and rumour.

I see that tired old hack is still trying to link us with Cuellar. If Cuellar's comments are even half-true then he dropped of Keegan's radar faster than a Heinkel over the white cliffs.
If the top earner at Ibrox is on £20k and we offer Cuellar the same as what Smith's on (£60k) I have a feeling he may change his mind.
I dare say he would, but my comment was based on the belief that Keegan won't want him any more, if he ever did, due to wrong attitude.

Big Sam to the rescue then.. now that would be funny.

Pretty unanimous so far.

As past players (incl Shearer) have often claimed it was Keegan who 'sold' the club to them I hope he is still part of the pre-signing process. I would hope Jimenez/Wise are initial contacts who say something along the line of, "Come and speak to the gaffer (Keegan), he really wants to meet with you." Then after Keegan weaves his magic the others tie up any loose ends & other details.

So Keegan has said that he's looking to bring in a new left back, now we've seen Enrique step up his game lately but we're still short in that area with only one recognised left back in the first team squad, so do we bring in a left back better than him which may hinder his progress? Someone to compete with him or an understudy?
Any realistic suggestions on who we should get?
Source/quote?

If the second half continues in the same vein Sunderland will be down to 10 men and we'll run out comfortable winners.
It was a game of two halves!

This is the most confident I've been going into a derby match ever I think. Even when they were sh*t, I think every fan was always worried it'd just be like us to lose to them when they're so sh*t. Can see us winning it pretty confortably actually.
If we win today is that meter going to rise another notch to 7 out of 10?
-
I don't agree Morts comments are sensible. I think they smack of total naivety, If the club needs players for the present time, they need them, which we do, and the better the quality, so much the better. This is where I came in and all I said in fact.
Considering he's in a position to peruse player contracts and financial records whenever he feels like it I'd say has has a better idea of which transfers were wise and which might be considered more foolish.
Let's wait till the end of summer eh?

its where Mr Spoon isWTF is button moon?
Where do you live button moon!!
Ok, I'm still none the wiser. I'm an old fart mate! Who is Mr Spoon and what has he to do with the toon?
On second thoughts it doesn't really matter.

If you are sitting in the pub drinking at 8am then you have problems tbh
Not if you hadn't actually gone home from the night before. (Done that a few times too, quite strange watching the sun come up with a drink in your hand.)

I don't know what this argument is about, really.
The last lot had their chance and fluffed it. The failure to capitalise on the wonderful work done by Sir Bobby, coupled with a series of poor managerial appointments, led to a period of decline from which we only now have a chance of emerging because of a new broom in the boardroom and investment sufficient to clear some of the debts Shepherd had built up. He's history. And no one in their right mind is shedding any tears over the fact.
The new lot are still getting settled in. They seem to have got all their key people in place and are apparently thinking long-term, which has to be welcome news to anyone who cares for the future of the club. If it all means leaving behind knee-jerk, sell-a-season-ticket signings (or the hype of attempted signings such as Rooney or Ronaldinho) in favour of a sustained, intelligent and realistic period of squad-building and investment under the right manager, then that is good news. I'm more optimistic right now than I have been since just before we lost to Partizan, five long years ago.
It's dumb to rant and roar about the new lot before they've even got through their first proper transfer window. So far they're doing all right.
good post.
agree with all of that
the last lot had their chance and fluffed it ?
Previously I thought you knew your stuff mate.
Respect for your opinions disintegrated after that I'm afraid.
NE5, in spite of your oft repeated list of achievements attributable to the previous board (which are undeniable) there were also some pretty bad decisions. Latterly they seemed to be going from bad to worse, the club was definitely in decline.
The fact Shepherd is banned from the ground surely tells its own story about what the new incumbents unearthed as they assessed the position. It must at least give one pause for thought. There have been statements/quotes that the club was on the brink, (though I'm not about to go and find them so I'll add the caveat iirc).
Credit where credit is due, but when I take off those rose tinted specs I can see there were a fair few negatives too and they had been coming thick and fast. I have to say in the final analyses that 'the last lot did fluff it' is a fairly accurate assessment.

Hopefully, after the match on Sunday we will have a couple of good ones of Keegan and Keane that the photshop boys can get stuck into.
I'm traumatized after my last effort tbh.

I can't wait for how this thread turns out.
Brought a little smile to my lips.
..oh wait..
