no need to get rid of Carr, what are you kidding me? At least Carr’s proved himself to be a quality right back in the past... and he plays in a position where we need players. It makes far more sense to me to let Sam have a go at turning him around than it does to buy “our version of Diouf” Cisse, or any of useless mongs that people on here keep suggesting for the sole purpose of letting Allardyce resurrect their careers.... we have plenty of our own that he could do that with already. We’re not Bolton... he can either give new life to the players we already have or buy quality replacements. Even if he chooses the latter option, we can’t afford/don’t have time to bring in enough quality players... so we’d need to hang on to more than a few of those we’d rather left. I expect Carr to be one of them. Agree with you. Alot of people on here are suggesting that we should sell Owen,Dyer,Parker,Zoggy,Carr,Babayaro!@!@ And after that we will play with what??? We cant afford to lose 10 players most of them 1st team players in one transfer window. Allardyce is not a magician. I think he will do a good job with players like Parker,Zoggy,Dyer,Carr. Maybe next summer we can afford to sell some of them but right now we released enough players already. Lets now concentrate on bringing good replacement for this 5 players we released already. Lets see what can Big Sam do with the likes of Carr,Babayaro,Parker,Dyer,Duff and after that he will decide which players he dont need. He cant sell 10 players without even seen them how they play under him. Its ridiculous

What a boring game to watch

Spot on... we've got a world class finisher in the side, and yet people just aren't bothered simply because he 'doesn't care' - which is exaggerated in this case anyway. Maybe if he cares now in 2 years time its almost certain that he wont sign new contract. So we must think about the future and if we can get 12m for him we should take it otherwise we might end up with nothing in 2 years time. Lots of us (including you and I) call the board for wasting money, loads of times. If we sell him now for £12m we've thrown £4m + wages + surgery down the swanny for nothing, just because 'he doesn't love the club!!!11!!1'. I say at least try get some value out of him this season, sell him next year if we/he want(s) out. I also want Owen to stay with us but i'll be very surprised if Owen signs new contract next year. And if we wait until next season to sell him his value would be pretty low considering the fact he will be free agent the summer after that. It all depends on the fact if Owen wants to be here for the long term or he is waiting for his contract to expire and leave immediately. If its the second one i think its better business for the club to sell him now. With 12m we can buy another striker and still have money to spend on other positions. Also Martins and Owen are similar players and it would be better if we play some partnership like Viduka-Martins rather then Martins-Owen.

Huntelaar is great player but we cant afford to spend 20m on one player,especially striker.

Utter cretin of a manager to be replaced by proven quality. Penny pinching chairman replaced by Gajillionaire. "Slight Improvement" (Note that at this stage I refuse to entertain thoughts of any of the above not happening, its the off season, I'm allowed to be happy!) High hopes? Erm, ya.

He would be fantastic signing. He is young,powerful,strong,good physique,not very tall but thats not that important. The problem is that Marseille will want huge fee for him.

I'll sell him for 11m

I was wondering what kind of influence Big Sam will have on the players's game??? Under Roeder all of our players seemed to be out of form and no one looked like he is on top form. So which players do you think will play better under Big Sam? We all know that he can get the best out of his players. His influence in the training ground every day and his methods will have immediate effect on the players imo. I just wonder if he is going to be able to transform shit like Carr,Ramage,Babayaro,Ameobi to some decent Premiership players?? Given-he was one of the little who played solid under Roeder but there is no surprice there.Under Big Sam he will be at his best level. Harper-if GIven is fit there will be very little chances for him but im expecting from him to be in good shape if he needs to play.Last season when he played his first games he wasnt as his best(Alonso goal).His form will be better under Big Sam. Krul-he is great prospect for the future and im expecting/hoping that he will develop alot under Big Sam.We will see if he is going to be loaned like Roeder said. Solano-first of all we will see if Big Sam is going to use him as RB.Im expecting so.Nobby was revelation last season as RB and most of the games played really solid.Also he is the only player from the defence who is trying to build an attack through some passes and not always kicking the ball.Also he was the only one who went forward as RB and created some decent crosses.Im expecting from him to get even better.Maybe Big Sam will influence on his defensive tasks. Carr-tough one.In the last couple of games of the season he showed that he can play at decent level.Nevertheless his general performance this season was shocking.Im really looking forward to see what can Big Sam gets out of him.Maybe he will improve his fitness,his tackling,his positioning and his defensive play in general. Taylor-one of the bright things this season.Yes,he made alot of errors and mistakes but with this players around him i cant blame him.Like someone mentioned before John Terry was similar at this age but he was playing with the likes of Desailly,Lebiof,Gallas around him.Taylor played with players like Ramage,Bramble,Moore!@!@[email protected] expecting Big Sam to rely on him as starting CB this season.I think Taylor can develop alot under Big Sam.He can imrpove his concentration,his defensive play and his football thinking in general.Also i think Big Sam will bring some experienced CB from who Taylor will learn alot too. Edgar-from the few games he played for us i think he showed that he has potential to be a good player.Soon it will be clear if Big Sam will rely on him or he will rather loan him.Im expecting from Big Sam to play Edgar mostly in the reserves.Also under Big Sam he will develop his fitness,to add some body mass and to develop his physique. Huntington-its the same situation like Edgar.The only difference is that Big Sam wont tolerate him if he plays poor like Roeder did.Roeder never gave Edgar and Hunti equal chance in the 1st team.He always liked Hunti more. Ramage-well...he is 24 years old.He is not a kid anymore.His mistakes last season were Conference level.Big Sam will soon see what he is capable of and then he decides if he is good enough.I dont think Ramage will play much this season,especially if we sign the proper CB's.At least under Sam Ramage will improve his fitness,his positioning and his defensive and tactical thinking. Babayaro-in the same group as Carr and Ramage.Im looking forward to see what influence Big Sam will have on him.The most important thing that will change under Big Sam is his fitness.He is injured half the season which is ridiculous.When his fitness is ok then his form might become more constant. Milner-im sure Big Sam will rely on him from the start.Last season he was our best player and showed some great potential.Under Big Sam Milner can change the uniformity of his play.Last season when he recieved the ball everytime he did the same thing.Tried to cross the ball or tried to dribble past the player ahead of him.Under Sam his game can become more varied.He can try and link up with the strikers or the midfielders,he can try not to lose the ball to easily and can try to finish his attack with a cross.Will develop under Sam for sure. Dyer-his fitness is still major problem.Big Sam will imrpove his fitness,he will bring back his desire to play football and im sure that when he is 100% fit he will be better player under Sam.If he doesnt want to play for Newcastle he must go though. Parker-under Roeder he was shocking but not because he is shit player but because Roeder didnt use him correctly and in the right position.Im sure under Sam he will become the version of Gary Speed at Bolton.Big Sam will see where his strengths are and will use them in the right way.Im sure that under Sam Parker will be different and better player.Also his fitness problems will be over(hopefully). Butt-he is getting older and slower but there is still much more that Butt can give to this club.Under Sam he can play at least 2-3 more years.We will see what kind of part he will play in Big Sam plans. Emre-his fitness problems and his attitude problems are the biggest concerns we have when it comes to him.Im expeting that Big Sam will solve this problems.Also his set piece was shocking last season.The set pieces are Big Sam one of his biggest weapons so im expecting alot of improvement in that area.Also Emre will be the player who will have to add that creativity we all are talking about.Will improve under him imo. Duff-disappointing season who was full of injuries.That must end and Big Sam's training and fitness methods will do that job.After that when we have fully fit Duff he must shows what he is capable of.Hopefully he will be self motivated under the new manager.Im expeting to see the real Duff next season. Zoggy-1st resolve his attitude problems.Its obvious that the boy has lost his head and he is feeling uncomfortable atm.Its up to Big Sam to solve this and after that Zoggy must prove that he is the player he was in the end of last season.Like Dyer if he doesnt want to be here-sell him. Pattison-wont get much games imo.His contract is up at the end of next season so he has 1 year to impress Allardyce. O'Brien-i think his contract runs this summer so soon enough we will know what his future is going to be. Martins-like Zoggy if he has some attitude issues Big Sam must solve them asap.Im hoping that Oba will stay with us.If he wants that i think Allardyce will find the best way to use him as a striker.He knows that he has phenomenal pace but it needs to be used wisely and not Oba to run like a useless chicken.Big Sam will see that and will use Oba the most useful way so his qualities can shine. Owen-if he doesnt want to stay with us then sell him.Simple as that.Otherwise it will be interesting to see how Big Sam will handle Owen and Martins as a attacking partnership. Ameobi-in the group of players like Ramage,Carr and Babayaro.The lad has some talent but needs the right manager next to him.He is not the new Eto'o but he can be decent squad player.Looking forward to see what impact Big Sam will have on him.Hope his first touch will improve Sibierski-getting older and slower.Its not clear if Big Sam will rely on him for next season.If he does then im hoping Sibierski fitness will imrpove so he wont be so slow and that way he can hold the ball more regularly and not to use it that easy like he did most of the time this season.Ultimately when Sam's backroom staff realized that Sibierski has scored 1 goal in every 4 games he played they wont be too happy... Carroll-hope Big Sam will count on him.He is young,tall,strong,can hold up the ball.Just needs more body mass added to his physique.Great prospect for the future and is better option then Sibierski imo.Would develop under Sam. Luque-His thoughts are alway from this club imo.Bringing new manager wont change that.I would be very supriced if he stays with us.If he does though maybe Allardyce will give him a proper chance to prove himself.Doubt it though.

Do you agree that atm we have the thinest squad in the Premiership? I mean before the start of the season we knew that our squad is not deep enough. And now when we released 5 more players its getting even thiner. I know that we will sign players but how many players we can realisticaly sign? Before the season begins even more players might be gone(Owen,Martins,Zoggy,Parker,Dyer,Luque) If that happens we will need more players and i dont think we can afford to sign 7-8 players.Also its not going to be good for the team because that we will be massive rebuilding of the squad/team.Starting the season with a starting team with 5-6 new players its pretty risky and dangerous imo. IMO i dont think we should release/sell more players.We should add players to our squad. Given/Harper/Krul Solano/Carr-------------Taylor/Edgar------------Ramage/Huntington--------Babayaro Milner/Dyer---------------Emre/Butt-----------------Parker/Pattison-----------Duff/Zoggy/O'Brien Owen/Ameobi/Luque---------Martins/Carroll/Sibierski As we can see its obvious that our defence and our central midfield are the positions which needs immediate strengthening. LB is again top priority as well as CB. I think we need to sign at least 2 CB and 1 LB and only then we can say that our defence is Premieship standart.We cant afford to rely on Peter Ramage as starting CB.If its up to me i'll play him only in the reserves. So thats 3 players for the defence In the midfield we need someone who can play as CM and maybe as RM.On the LM we have plenty of players(Duff,Zoggy,Luque,Pattison,O'Brien).On the right we have only Milner and Dyer. The ideal situation would be if we sign 2 CM players but if we sign only 1 it wouldnt be the end of the world. In the attack i think we should buy players only if we release one.Otherwise i think the squad would become too unbalanced.Having 6 strikers and 1 LB!!! If we sell Luque and release Sibierski we can afford to bring 1 or maybe 2 strikers.That would be perfect imo. Ultimatelly it all depends on how many more players will be out of the club. ATM we need at least 5 new players(2 CB,1LB,1 CM,1 CF) This summer is going to be extremely busy for us but i only hope that Big Sam starts to making his transfers NOW and not wait too long because when the TV money comes all the Premiership clubs will start to buy and the competition will be enormous. Sign Ben Haim and Viduka in the next 2 weeks and the situation wouldnt be too bad. Fingers crossed

Tough times to be a supporter of this teams. I just pray that we wont end up there some day.

I dont think Allardyce will be that stupid...

Portsmouth wont let Campbell go but if he doesnt want to play for them anymore and wants to come to Newcastle then they will be forced to sell him at low price. It all depends on Campbell desires and how much Allardyce wants him.

As long as we are playing like a team,we are organised at the back,we defend well as a team and play some decent football at home i would be happy

Same? After a season of consolidation, and with a billionaire owner whose CEO has said last week that there is "no limit set" on what he will spend this summer, that he wants CL football as soon as possible and is fully aware of how much that will cost? I'm not expecting CL football for a good few years (if at all) at least, but there's no doubt the club will be stronger next season. Maybe you are right but i just cant see your club to someone who is going to be much stronger next season. It depends on the players you will sign but im expecting from Villa to be at the same level as this season. Maybe im wrong time will tell Thats only my humble opinion. Dont offence mate. I really like Villa as a club and also Stilian Petrov plays there and im Bulgarian. BTW what do you think about him? I've heard that most of the Villa fans think that he has been big disappointment so far

Man Utd-stronger Chelsea-stronger Liverpool- much stronger Arsenal- same Tottenham- much stronger Newcastle- stronger West Ham- much stronger Everton- weaker Portsmouth- stronger Reading- weaker Bolton- weaker Aston Villa- same Man City- same Boro- weaker Sunderland- stronger Blackburn- same Wigan- weaker Fulham- weaker Birmingam- weaker Under weaker i mean this clubs will finish lower then this season and under stronger i think this clubs will finish higher then this season and as a squad of players they will be stronger.

He is strong, looks to organise and lead, is good in the tackle, quite good in the air and not too bad with the ball at his feet. Also isn't bad in the opposition box. right so he's decent in the air, not horrendous with the ball, decent in the tackle and is strong (no often you see then in a CB) massively massively overrated For a 21 year old lad who has been playing with shit players like Moore,Bramble,Ramage etc i think he has shine to a level where we can say he has the abbilities to be a very good CB He is not the new Baresi but he can develop to a level where we can say he is amongst the best CB in the Premiership.

Given Ben Haim---------Taylor--------Campbell--------Carlos Solano-------------Parker----------Sidwell---------Milner Martins----------Viduka Sub: Krul Huntington Emre Duff Pizarro

Personally, I'd like to see Carroll in ahead of Sibierski. The lad needs experience and he's not going to get it if he's behind that fucking plank. With all due respect like... Agree with you.I had rather give Carroll a chance then playing this old man Sibierski But knowing Big Sam im expecting to keep Sibierski and loan Carroll then releasing Sibierski and relying on Carroll

I think Allardyce is willing to give Luque another chance because he said everyone will get his chance and everyone will have clean start. But i think that Luque doesnt want to be here at all even if we have new manager. I will be very surprised if he stays with us next season.

Viduka is 32 Sibierski is 33 Sibierski ratio is 1 goal per 4 games :uglystupid2: Viduka scored 20 goals in 37 games or something Sibierski is old and slow and i hope Big Sam releases him and after that to sign Viduka Also i hope we will sign Ben Haim That will be great business signing 2 good players for free Dyer to Chelsea as replacement for Lampard=Jesus on a gondole :uglystupid2:

All the people who thinks Taylor is shit as Bramble are crazy. He is great prospect for the future and this call up is another proof for that. If Taylor and Bramble are equally shit why Titus is not in the England squad?

For 4m i would take him but i think Marseille would want at least 6m for him.

Wayne Bridge would be fine.

Claudio Pizarro? Yes.
