sit back and enjoy football at its best .lets be honest we can only dream of playing to that standard in europe at that level.

oh i see and we are flying

my argument is i do not believe he can turn us into a top four team . do you think roeder is manager with the soul intention of keeping us mid table like we are now .what are you implying with "ERR ...WHO DID ? " i'm implying you're a bit daft if you thought Roeder was going to make us a top 4 side, planned or not the line i said "CANNOT SEE HIM TURNING US INTO A TOP FOUR TEAM " is self explainatry really .stay off the shandy

imho if the toon have a wretched run in and they still might fat fred will be under immense pressure off the fans and media meaning roeders days are numbered but the sheffield win has taken the pressure off a little bit .so come summer with a few good signings and a good start things may be promising to start with but roeder is imho a very poor man- manager and tactician and i cannot see him turning us into a top 4 team.

i you can always rely on taylor to stay calm under pressure mackems.gif

Defies belief, if we sign a top player it's a Hollywood signing, if we have a look at a player we haven't heard of before the club is in debt etc etc. Terrific logic. so you think its ok to sign s**** then . 1. He's not signing 2. How do you know he's s***? Bulut hopes for two-year United deal Apr 7 2007 By Stuart Rayner, The Journal Erol Bulut Erol Bulut hopes to find out next week if he will be part of Newcastle United's squad for next season. The German-born Turk has been on trial from Olympiakos of Athens this week and is hopeful he has made as favourable an impression on the club as it has on him. "I was welcomed by the players, the coach and the staff," he said. "Emre has told me a lot of things about the club. Everything is perfect here. The facilities, the people, the city." The 32-year-old, who has also had spells at Fenerbahçe and Eintracht Frankfurt, can play either at left-back or on the left of midfield. He will be on a free transfer in the summer. The sticking point could be the length of contract he is demanding. Bulut wants a two-year deal, something the Magpies have not been prepared to offer Antoine Sibierski, who is also 32. Story continues Continue story ADVERTISEMENT "I was told from my agent that Newcastle wanted to give me a trial to because they are looking for a player for the left side," he said. "I came to Newcastle, passed the medical exams and took part in training. I followed all the training, including the practice game and the tactics. "I think at the beginning of the next week I am going to know if I will sign. "My agent (Ahmet Bulut) makes the contacts and he is going to discuss terms and conditions with them. If I am going to sign, its going to be for two years. I want to take the chance and prove myself in the Premier League playing for such a big club like Newcastle." so if you seem to know so much someone somewhere is not telling the truth .

this is roeders plan to play everyone we dont want him too, we get beat he gets stick and gets the sack off fat fred and gets a huge pay off as he knows he is not good enough simple really mackems.gif

the same major shareholders as in 1992 ? You are not seriously suggesting that Shepherd runs the club himself, and appoints the managers himself, without the major shareholders ? I've said this before, and I'm still staggered that people appear to believe this is the case. All the managers have been backed to the same degree by the same major shareholders too. It seems pretty clear to me that the Halls are no longer interested in the day to day running of the club, and haven't been for some time. I'm sure that their approval is sought before a major decision like the appointing of a manager is made, but that's as far as it goes. Up until recently, they've been happy to hand the reins to Freddie. I think they now realise that Freddie has been screwing up, and that there's a better alternative both for themselves and the club. you "think" they realise Shepherd is screwing up ? Don't you know ? Or are you just guessing. On the contrary, if THEY picked Souness, it is THEY who screwed up. And neither you, nor I, know. Do you ? If I ran Newcastle United, and I was the major shareholder, one thing I would NOT do is allow someone else to run it for me, or make the single biggest appointment in the football club, if I thought they were screwing up, and as you suggest, they APPROVED of the managerial appointments, at the very least. According to Sir Bob's book, in all his time at Newcastle, he only saw Douglas Hall 3 or 4 times. The guy lives in Gibraltar, and Sir John is retired. It's completely obvious that they're absentee owners. Neither of the Halls seem to be big football fans, and it suited them to take a back seat and let Freddie, who's the real enthusiast, run the show. Sir John doesn't want to take over again, and Douglas doesn't seem to have the ability. I think the way the last two managers have been recruited reflects this arrangement. I think Freddie did all the sounding out and then presented his chosen candidate to the Halls for their approval. Even if they weren't convinced that Freddie had found the best possible man, if they say no they really have to go ahead and find a better man themselves, and they've got no inclination to get involved in that way. I don't think they're interested in much beyond the business side. But personally - and this is where I differ from a few - I don't think the main problem has been the choice of manager. It's been the way the managers have been treated, and the position they're put in. Shepherd acts like a Director of Football, and the managers don't have the power and initiative that is needed, particularly in the transfer market. sorry your last paragraph is dog pooh souness spent £50 million in the transfer market hardly lack of power.

He's not signing 2. How do you know he's s***? 1. try reading my posts before making comments like above and in answer to 2. imho he is shit i have seen him play a couple of times in the past

like you know who we trialled 4 years ago do you N'Zogbia. N'Zogbia's transfer to Newcastle proved to be controversial. Le Havre had tied him to an educational contract, but FIFA and Newcastle claimed that the player had freedom of contract to move on a free transfer. After a protracted saga involving the threat of a case at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, Newcastle eventually paid a nominal fee to sign him from the French club. The compensation Le Havre received was thought to be in the region of £250,000. Newcastle officially signed N'Zogbia on 2 September 2004. my mistake but as i have said generally triallist normally end up as duds and i still believe this is a crap move and whatever roeder says imho he is checking him out.

yes very good read and i for one think the only alternative to our current plight is a take over and a clean out after we get planning permisson for redevelopment which may lure investors ,hopefully the consortium who failed in there bid for liverpool would be my choice.

overwhelming succes

Bayern Munich's interest in Emre has been known for some time, and the Chronicle revealed on March 19 that Hertha Berlin were also keen on the 26-year-old Turkish international. It was in the summer of 2001 that a then 19-year-old Emre left Turkey in a move from Galatasaray to Inter Milan, but he still suffers from a bit of homesickness. That's one of the reasons why United brought his Turkish compatriot Erol Bulut, who shares the same agent as Emre, across to St James' Park for a couple of days' training this week. But United have absolutely no intention of signing the 32-year-old Turk, even though he can play in the position they need to fill more than any other in the close season - left-back. Indeed, Glenn Roeder told me today: "I am looking to bring in players who are under 25 and whose best days are in front of them, not behind them." well peeps looks like we wasted skin for nowt .team of younger pros next season by those comments too

like you know who we trialled 4 years ago do you

sad day for the toon if we get a journeyman on trial who hardly any bodys heard of and cannot get a game anywhere but here .how far have we have fallen, 4 years ago this simply would not have happened . :'(

your mam im more interested in than the game

pity our manager would have to watch him 6 times then say he is not what we are looking for age wise then sign a donkey .

probably got murdered for the whole game though :'(

can just see it hes probably walking around the metrocentre in his shellsuit or cheap leather jacket chatting up 18 yr old lasses so he cn marry them to get a visa

not gonna give martins a partner then??? Aye Dyer will play close enough to Martins to support him.. 4-4-1 it is then! lololololololol fkn been a long old day , where'd Emre go ------------------Given ---------Taylor-----------Moore Nobby-----------------------------Baba -----------------Parker -Milner---------Emre--------Zoggy -------------Dyer --------------------Martins I wont play Moore again this season He is s*** and i rather give Gooch a chance He is far more motivated then Moore Never mind the fact that he is the slowest player in the world Funny, I thought the exact opposite. Gooch is pretty crap, Moore is just about servicable. Given Nobby Taylor Moore Baba Parker Milner Duff Emre Dyer Martins I swear, if Carr isn't dropped I'm going to cry. I just can't believe that there exists a professional athlete who's even less fit than I am. i cannot believe a former defender can give carr a start tbh

start sending roeder hate mail me thinks

odds for this

if we had the best bosmans and europes top players on transfers coming in sadly imho roeder would still produce a shit team :-[
