Didn't Sven win the Champions League? Or the UEFA Cup? Or summat. I dunno. Sven.

Will he hell.

Aston Villa 2-0 Newcastle Newcastle 1-2 Fulham Man Utd 2-0 Newcastle Newcastle 1-2 Bolton Middlesbrough 1-0 Newcastle 3 years ago... that's 12 points in the bag. Atleast.

Embarrassment.

I thought he was fairly error-prone. Don't we have enough of them?

Distin's absolutely shite mate... and the 'cheap' theory won't fixate on him either. He's their captain! Jagielka's a good player though.

I really like Lucas Neill. I think he's rock hard, and it would be great for us to get a wing-back who can actually defend aswell as attack. Much the same with Leighton Baines - great player with an eye for goal and can actually bring some organisation to our defense. I think i'd be pleased with Upson on the cheap. £2m or so and it's a good deal. He used to be a good defender when Birmingham were a half-decent side. He was always the best English defender out of the usual suspects. The Terrys, the Ferdinands, the Campbells, the Kings, the Woodgates. He was always marginally out of the pecking order. However, he's had one or two injuries, and i think he's injured at the moment - returning in January. We could do worse than Upson, and i really can't see us getting much better. Neill, Upson and Baines would improve our defense monumentally, even merely to increase numbers. Whether or not we can get them is another matter. If Liverpool want Neill, Neill will go to Liverpool. He wanted to go there in the summer but Blackburn held on to him - and since then, his performances have deteriorated somewhat. I can imagine there'll be one or two teams in for Baines. I think we'd have to be atleast 5 Premiership places above Wigan for him to sign for us, and like Gejon has said, we can give him the cash to come here. We could get Upson if we wanted him though, no doubt.

Pitiful really considering the leagues he's played in and the teams he's played for, and the so-called talent that he has.

14 Prem goals one season, 16 goals in the other. Breathtaking.

And Anelka does, does he.

We'll beat Boro.

Ain't it great to have such a welcoming pioneer of a leader!

Can't see it getting anywhere but i'll definitely support it and it'll be good if we could get some publicity.

Betting scam tbh.

Poll spoilt by the Bellamy option. Martins. I never wanted Anelka. Career: 99 goals in 320 appearances + he's an asshole.

Change your avatar comment.

At the very least he deserves one full season as long as there is no relegation worries. ... Roeder out.

... Que?

... Que?

Fair point!

Is this thread going to be bumped every time he scores? Two great goals tonight. Well done Oba - fully expected as far as i am concerned.

Harsh; but you're right about Martins. Can't wait till he gets back to full match sharpness.

Absolutely. Let's get behind the guy! Really does look like a good buy. I can't see him getting 20+ goals this season because it just doesn't happen like that, and to be fair, i'll be chuffed if he even gets 15. Next season and beyond is when he'll be best for Newcastle. He's still so young, un-adapted, and not match sharp. Howay Obafemi!
