Northern Monkey

Thats the point, though. He's made that decision based on the fact that Allardyce is available and he's heard of him. He's clearly not considering too many other people, which is wrong. Personally, i'd rather we spent some time and got the right man, than jump in and get the easist - but not best - option.

this, his distribution is god awful. nearly as bad as Givens.

Newcastle with a solid manager is a magnet, he's a good enough name to bring in the players we need. Of course he is. If we start challenging in a year or two imo there won't be many players we can't attract. Really need to pick the relegated EPL clubs and the none promoted Championship clubs for their star players imo, that alone could create a core team which would see us back up at the top. Baines (if Wigan go down) Bale (If Soton dont come up) Davies (If WBA dont come up) Young Bent Barnes (If Derby dont come up) Baines, Davies, Young, Barnes & Bent for me would see us laughing next season, even just the 1st 3 (Baines, Davies, Young) would get us 5th imo. 5th with our midfield?? Mentalist. Duff, Zoggy, Dyer, Emre, Butt, Parker, Milner, Solano - two players for every position, decent ones under a new manager and a solid defense, i dont see why not. I'd quite happy get rid of most of them, but they are all sought after players and would take very good players to replace them. 1) they are not "sought after players" 2) Duff, Dyer, Park All linked with big money moves in 2007, i'm not seeing your point. i hit send by an accident. read it again, sorry. After edit:3 Maybe so, and i'm in the same opinion, but others dont share it and rate these players. If we sold Dyer, Parker & Duff in the summer who would buy and how much would we get, i think more than we should tbh, but in the end of the day they are good EPL players & British, and they hold value. I reckon maybe £4m for Duff if they didn't see him play for us, maybe the same for Parker if we're lucky, £2.5m for Dyer. £7m was the supposed bid for Duff from Spurs, a reported £8m+ fee for Parker from WHU. I reckon nothing less than £5m for Dyer, someone would take a chance, if not Spurs, Portsmouth or several teams of that ability. Those figures are all just paper shite though, and you know it. And you know how full of crap the papers are too. We'll have to wait and see, but lets not pretend they are top Premiership players.

Why? Because the players haven't performed as they should? You're funny. no. because he sold me his pubic hairs. you're the fool who thought it was hashish, or whatever you crazy kids inject to get your highs.

They must take some of the blame for their own performances. Did you see Dyer in the reading game? What did you think of his performance??

According to grandfather NE5 and some other mentalists on this board you cant have opinion about Newcastle and the team unless you have been on the stadium watching the team live You can't have as good a view of the game, and any comments you make on the game should be read with that taken into account.

All true. The midfield myth comes from the incorrect view that Dyer, Parker, Duff etc are top class.

Newcastle with a solid manager is a magnet, he's a good enough name to bring in the players we need. Of course he is. If we start challenging in a year or two imo there won't be many players we can't attract. challenging for what? League cup maybe, if he totally culls the squad and starts again.

Not quite sure how you reached that conclusion. Through his powers of making s**** up. You must have taught him well. Nothing to do with me. He makes his own ITK bollocks up, and believes whatever the papers say. Everything i say is my own opinion, i'm quite clear on that. Cheers. Mate, am messin. Can't someone have a bit of banter round here anymore. Not if you accuse innocent passers by of that kind of ITK bollocks, no. That sort of thing scars a man, leavs him a broken shell of a human being, unable to carry on without professional help. Or something. I never take what I write on here too seriously. Those who know me know that. My fucking keyboard is drivign me mental. << Look! I left that one in!! keeps on missing out letters and numbers. Stupid microsoft.

Ivan Campo was Real Madrid reject Okocha and Djorkaeff at the time were above 30 and they were past their best The signings of Anelka,Meite,Ben Haim,Faye are more impressive for me. But, they are big names with big reputations. Players abroad will know about Sam Allardyce, and the quality of his managerial skills, because this information spreads by word of mouth. True that they were big names with big reputaions but they were hardly top players especially Campo The thing i like about Allardyce is the fact that his scouting/searching system is at good level.He is bringing players from Africa and they are all good.He can spot the good player. They were all big name players for a club like Bolton. but allardyce isn't going to be at a club like bolton. No, he'll be at a club like Newcastle and should be able to attract better players. At the time Bolton were near enough nothing, and he was bringing in solid names, Anelka is another example of how far he's got, a player we looked at over and over again. the hilarity was at the "no top palyer would turn down Sam Allardyce", which is a level of myopic self-importance and stupidity that surprised me even from a NUFC fan.

hahaha! What a load of shite. Brilliant. Well they might turn down Newcastle, but not because its Allardyce. Thats a fucking guess, and you know it is. Which big name stars has he tempted to work with him? And by that, i don't mean ageing players and rejects?

No, they were for a while, but not all season.
