I would go with that one too, maybe zog instead of Luque. Dont really think Luque is a winger, he is more of a forward after he came to newcastle. Ramage is shite going forward so he should just stay back, and let solano go forward more. If we lead by two goals or more by half time, I would rest dyer and martins for Luque and Sibierski.

lol was going to be my reply but you finished reading it first As for Daniel Braaten, aye he looks fast direct and very handy but youtube is up there with FM to be honest. Used to be class on FM on the one before he moved to Rosenborg. Always was my first buy. Daniel Braaten isnt even a starter i Rosenborg. He only play 15 min, the rest he goes around watching the rest playing footy. The game against Real Madrid, was the best game of his career. What was the rosenborg excuse for him, he was using so much strength when he runned, that he got to much or to little oxygen in his legs. Thats why he didnt work so much For Per Cilijan Skjelbreid, he was a good player before his injury. But it seems like it has scared the living shit out of him. I would rather we bought his mate, dunno his name. But i bet u know, as it seems that u are a RBK fan. If I was to choose someone to come here from the Norwegian Tipperlia, it would be on of these; Koren, Mifsund, Hæstad, Strømstad , Grindheim or Bjørn Helge Riise.

:clap: :clap: Agree were much with what you are saying here. Dunno about Keegan, would love for him to do great here again. But isnt he a bit loose on the money? I would actually love Kenny Dalglish back here as a DoF. Think he could do a very good job for us. And is a great person too. Would have suggested the ex argentinian coach as our new manager, only problem might be the language. What makes you think Dalgleish would make a good DoF. Knows nothing about current continental players, been out of the game for far too long but does have a very good golf handicap. Just because he has been out of job a while, doesnt meen he know nothing of current players. He can be up to date for all we know. He seems like the kind of person who can do good deals, as I can remember he handle the media very fine. He just looks like a person who can represent the club very well, and I bet he would spend his money wise. But its my personall view, you might have another. But I like the idea of him in that role, and just think he would do a good job. Maybe similar like the one he did in blackburn

So Youre saying sack Mr Sheperd, and that will fix it? A DoF will take the heat of Mr Sheperd thats true. But he might do a better job in the transfer market, than Sheperd. He will also let the manager concetrate more on tactics, training and man management, instead of doing non football stuff. But thats my opinion. Do you even have one Mick? or do you just follow the rest and say OUT SHEPERD, OUT ROEDER, OUT WHO EVER IS HERE. Can you think for yourself, and come with some idea's of how to turn this club around. Do you think Shepherd will allow somebody to do what he seems to like meddling in? I don't, I think he's an idiot who has the idea that he knows better than anybody else when it comes to running the club. He's stuck his nose in the managers business and would do the same to a Director of Football if he appointed one, he'd probably appoint a puppet, just like Roeder. A Director of Football is a good idea but I doubt it would work while Shepherd was pulling his strings. What makes you think a Director of Football would work? What difference would a Director of Football make regarding allowing Roeder to concentrate on tactics and man-management? I've seen no evidence that Roeder knows anything about either, do you think Shepherd is guiding Roeder in this? If not, then how would a Director of Football make a difference by allowing him to concentrate on them? I dont think Roeder beeing the right man. But it will take some pressure of the manager. Because he has a DoF over him, who takes the focus on renewing contracts, watches the players, all all non footy thing. So that will leave the manager to only concentrate on the game, instead of doing researching on other fields too. Roeder did well last season when there was no pressure on him, we only wanted to avoid relegation. So it seems to me like Roeder cant handle the pressure when ask to. I was hoping for Roeder to take in a few youngsters, and perhaps knowing a few bargains. But he is choosing to play "safe", getting ppl like Srnicek, Sibierski and Bernard. So for me we need a DoF, and a new manager. I also are in favour of sacking Mr Sheperd, But I dont know who would take over the Chairman role. Do you? Lets say if he left tomorow, would Douglass Hall be our new chairman then, and I dont think he is the right man either. I dont have the answers, but I like you guys to think a litle furter, not only say sack this and sack that. But thinking of youre own who will be the next manager, chairman, or even board. Think how can this club be turned around. ATM we look more and more like Leeds.

I have been reading stuff about sacking Roeder, the board and Mr Shepard. But then what? I am just curious, if we sack Roeder, the board and Shepard. Who will take over the club, some said the tea lady. Maybe Douglas Hall? bluesigh.gif who would be good enough as a chairman to make the deals, to appoint the right manager, to spend enough cash. Is that what it takes to turn us around. I think we need a long term plan, With or without Sheperd. I think a DoF would be healthy for the club, leaving Sheperd out of choosing the player deals. We need a proffesional to handle those deals, not a fat oil pimp. For the manager, I think we need to look outside of this island tho find one. And when we do find one, we need to have a 5+ year plan for the club. We need to get a good youth team, because they are the future. And youth players dont cost as much as senior players(Luque 9.5M, Owen 17M, etc). I think we need to look at clubs like arsenal and tottenham. We need players with accelration and pace, young players who can develope in to world class player in the future. We need to pick up more Zoggy's, we need to find our Henry, and the next Shearer. We need to get a new scouting system, and we need them to working the whole year, not only when the transfer window is open. We need a new trainer team, need to get rid of the backroom cancer that we have hanging over us. We need coaches who ask more of the players than the coaches today. As the big club we are, we need to get back up with the top 4 again. It will take time and money to get us up there. What do you lads think, how can this club be turned around and by who? Thats my thoughts above, whould be nice reading yours :-)

Aye think he was sacked at Valencia, and we have to think that he could even win the Premiership with ambramovich's money

Nice weather in Italy, here in Norway it snows blueeek.gif What is happening with the football fans in Italy? its around and average of 20 000 in the stadiums. While England has about 40 000 i think?

No "big" manager will ever come here as long as Fat Fred is our manager. Because they are low paid here. Cant choose their own team, because FF wants "big" name signings to make the fans satisfied. While the manager needs a striker, fat fred goes out and buy a winger. Who would ever come working for him? SBR did, because he was a NUFC Fan, and he love our club. If we ever are going to achieve big things, we need to sack Fat Fred, and the board. We need to find ourself a good manager, and let him choose his own coaching staff. We need a revolution in the way we are doing our buisness, because this Fat bastard doesnt know much about running a football club. Freddy Sheperd and the board out, Its time for a revolution at our club.

I say play Luque, play someone else than the team that has played so far this season. We're 17th, it cant hardly get any worse than this. So why not try something new?

I've always wanted us to play 4-3-0-1-2 like Ac Milan. Its a formation which outclass the 4-4-2 formation which is used in the premiership, but is shite against teams that play 4-3-3. But as we lack central midfielders, and have to many wingers, it might not work. If we convert Duff as a left back, push milner as a right back(Carr doesnt have the stamina or pace to run up and down the side). Its a formation were we either could use Zoggy or Emre in a offensive role, Working offensive as a playmaker, and in defence he/they work as our first defender. Our right and left back run up and down the side helping in attack, while our midfielders takes the wingback space and covers it if we loose the ball. In offence play, we will get many ppl up and out number the other team. This system needs to defensive midtfielders, so we could use Butt and Parker in these roles, and again Emre or Zoggy in the central of midfield in the Pirlo role. This formation might work, but I also think we have to have a formation that depends on the other teams formation. So if they play 4-3-3, we should play a 4-4-2, or 5-3-2 formation and etc.

I just wondering, why isnt Appiah be a great player for nufc ? :roll:

To be fair, I cant see Luque in a 4-4-2 formation. He doesnt suit our strikers, and cant see which striker he would suit? He doesnt have pace, he isnt a player that would win the ball in the air. I think he would be better to play in a role just behind the strikers and infront of the midfield. Maybe a role simular to the one that Kaka has in Ac Milan, Or get a free role on the left side like Ronaldinho. But in the end I think Luque was a waste of 9M I hope that Luque can be a great player for us, but I just cant see him doing that in the premiership..

rather see us going for kluivert for free then :roll:

:jesus: :happy:
