Not one springs to mind, Lalas was in Serie A for a bit, Donovan to Bayern? Tim Howard to Man Utd surely.

What a weird signing, he hardly played last year.

English football doesn't really require any special ability from a player to be able to fit in IMO...it's just very fast paced league and that's exactly the opposite what the current Newcastle team is not! The club is just full of old "already past it" work horses at critical positions such as midfield. Does for example Butt have any sort of "speed" in his thinking when the ball is played at his feet as he is constantly giving it away right away with his next pass? Our midfield's only ability is put our defenders under a big pressure as they can't hold up the ball and play a simple "clever" passes at all. I doubt that even the very best defenders in the world at the moment could really cope with the current midfield ahead of them Tbh he was shocking like

I think a lot of people fail to realise, correct me if i'm wrong though, but Micheal Owen doesn't read this forum.

Its been malice since the Keegan sacking,you need to open your eyes mate. He tried to sell the club, appointed an interim manager in the meantime - the only person wanting to take it was unfortunately JFK. The worse thing he did in that time by far was not appoint a permanent manager until late on. Malice would have been sticking with Hughton.. and selling players like Bassong, Beye, Taylor in January.

It's without fail going to be treasured for a long time amongst the Mackem boards.

No, he is an owner that had a plan - scouting young talent, DoF, not rely on big signings so much. That backfired. He tried to sell the club after the KK incident - club was in limbo, no-one took action until too late.. Relegated. If he didnt want us to survive, he would have left Hughton in charge all season wouldn't he.

This thread is simply staggering, some people just dont live in the real world it seems. How can you create a conspiracy theory like that it's absurd. From a billionaire recluse to betting in casinos that he is going to relegate a football team. Deary me

Fuck it i can wait, it would be far worse news if i heard that Ashley was going to give it another go and JFK comes to the fore of the action again.

They are as good as their last game, unmotivated, no legs, no idea's, etc etc.

It was a success, his first season there and finished it as having the highest ratio of goals scored to number of minutes played in the league. Not his fault they signed Robinho and Julio Baptista really.

How did he piss Real about exactly? Was lethal when selected for them - had a brilliant strike rate. Brilliant strike rate or not Capello obviously doesn't like him from his time there, I'll be surprised if he picks him for England, even if he is a Man U player. Heskey and Crouch hardly scored any goals yet he picks them. Here's hoping for a non call up anyway, just to annoy the little prick. Capello did actually like Owen at Real Madrid, if he didn't he wouldn't of played. But he barley played there. He was a sub most of the time. There were rumours of him leaving 6 months after signing He scored 16 goals in 43 appearances buddy, true some of them were subs. Would you consider that barely playing and not being a success though?

Nope, midfield is atrocious.

We are blaming him for rounding up to the nearest 5k now, wow ok.

he has like Only just. why does that matter? he said he has played over 500 games which he has.

Well, he's commented on a feeling of "bitterness" from not just Newcastle fans about his dismal return for huge wages and his lack of games played saying "It's not as if I commited a crime" and of course the rags have not given him the grilling he WOULD have had if the clubs were reversed. He also said Newcastle should make Shearer the manager. I hope he breaks both his legs and for a change be on the sick for a REAL reason. I agree with .com in that I'm looking forward to adding my boos to Liverpool fans when the gloryhunters visit Anfield (Not often I'd agree with Liverpool fans believe me) I'd love to see Owen become the pariah Ronaldo and Beckham became after their shenanigans for their national sides. Care to elaborate?

he has like

I agreed on some of his points - Shearer appointment. That currently we are a laughing stock. Boro and Sunderland will never be a dominant force in the Northeast and to not expect to come straight back up. The rest was awful.. the David Edgar bit .. wow

Arsenal

Owen has a fucking good agent can tell you that. Negotiated that contract with us, when we were the only team interested and now got the guy a move to Man Utd

I love that word. Like it is such a sure thing! he played pretty much every game btw and from those he had about 4 good games? His display against Liverpool - was the worse performance have ever seen from a NUFC player... ..he doesn't have the attributes to be even considered a poor PL defender tbh let alone an average one. Fair enough, it's your opinion, but i can't agree. Well you come out with such a strong statement but fail to provide any points why you believe that

He is worse than Owen He could be arsed though, and played plenty too. Was just a poor player for us. He could be arsed?? were you watching the same player as me?
