We might as well have just given it to Shay. He has been here for ages and he is an inspirational player for us at least.
I know it's not ideal to have a goalkeeper as captain as outfield players are better but when you consider our other options ...
-
Our choice of captain has not helped this season ...
Ever since his first confrontation with the fans he hasn't been the same since then. He doesn't seem to have been a good choice of captain at all, as he appears to be way too sensitive. Seems he has lost a ton of confidence and doesn't appear to be too upbeat which can't be helping the team in general.
Have to be much tougher to be a captain, especially for this team.

The back of the shirt is great by the way
I like it too!
As long as there's a name and number on it.

I'm losing faith guys.
You lose faith easily then.
I think Roeder is here till next season and heres why ...
He is only on a two year contract and Freddy already feels paranoid about the fact that everyone feels Newcastle always sack their managers so he will feel that he can afford to wait till next summer if need be.
Since when did FF start to give a f*** about what other think?
I also think Freddy has bought into the idea that major changes are needed in the actual squad of players and a change of manager won't help. This is because three consecutive managers now have been unable to get much out of the current squad of players. I think he also accepts the injury excuse is a valid one and because Roeder has been "patient" with his signings I think Freddy feels he owes him at least one season with more new players.
He was told after the Man City game that his future was no longer secure (GR).
I think there are also plans to bring in a director of football and Freddy feels that this will make Roeder a better manager. I'm pretty certain this is what we have talked to Sven about.
Sven wants to manage. Although we did speak to him imho.
As for Allardyce ... it just seems the odds are stacked against him.
Football is a funny auld game. FS actually gets on well with SA.
Turned the job down already
Shearer was the problem.
The bung inquiry
Nothing proven.
The fact we might still have to pay compensation for his services along with paying off Glenn should he be sacked
It will be £1 - £2m. Small change for us.
The fact that when we were eager to appoint Roeder Sam was publically against it.
He speaks his mind and he was right.
Right now I think Roeder will be in charge next season. I am just going to hope that he brings in players he knows very well and therefore players he will be able to use more effectively. I do think Roeder has problems getting through to players but it is always different when the players are people you have brough to the club yourself so hopefully that works for him.
I am going to be positive from now on and back whoever is in charge or else I might do myself an injury. I can't stand all the uncertainty.
Just hope we at the very least get the man some hel[ with a decent DOF.
Sigh ...
Sam Allardyce will be our manager next season.
I love your optimism Parky ...
I really hope you're right!
Was Roeder definitely told that his future wasn't secure after the Man City game?
If this is true I think Roeder has a nerve coming out and tlaking about who he is going to sign and stuff, because he has done nothing since that game to show he is deserving of the job!
Unless of course he has agreed to remain as Big Sams assistant manager or something ... and is looking at players with SA!

ok maybe not the choise in the world. but would you rather have Roeder ahead of Sam?
Is "choise" the plural of choice ... or something?

I don't think WBA will sell Davies for less than £10m. They've already had bids up to £7.5m and still haven't sold him.
If I was looking to buy a FB from the scum, I'd opt for Kerrea Gilbert, not Justin Hoyte.
I love that kid!
He looked great in his brief premiership cameo when Arsenal had a lot of injuries at right-back.
Surprised no one in the premiership went for him on loan.
A bit small ... but full of energy and pretty dynamic.
-
Marcell Jansen £6m (worth a try)
Whosat?
A young player who plays for Borussia MGladbach, i have not seen much from him but heard good things about him from others, and from what i have seen he's a player for now and the duture, might be hard to attract, but worth a shot.
He´s quite tall also if i remember it correctly
Well we all thought Bramble was one for the duture, and look what happened when we spent big bucks on him...
But if we have the money. Why not. Probably better than what we have.
Okay guys ... what's up with the whole duture thing?

From NUFC.com ...
Glenn under threat?
Bill Bradshaw, writing in the Express, Wednesday:
Sam Allardyce is being lined up to take on one of the biggest challenges in football - to turn Newcastle United from being nearly men to trophy winners. Allardyce quit as Bolton boss last week but his spell out of work could be brief with middle-men working on his options for a return this summer.
Newcastle, after a nondescript season punctuated by injury problems, are believed to be interested again in Allardyce.
One source close to the club told me: "The Geordies would love Big Sam's belligerent style and no-nonsense approach.
"That would go down well here so it's watch this space."
Newcastle were close to appointing him three years ago after Sir Bobby Robson's exit but the bid was aborted when it came clear Bolton had a £2million compensation clause protecting their boss.
Bolton chairman Phil Gartside suggested on Monday the had provisions to extend their protection, even after Allardyce's resignation.
"He's going to turn up somewhere," said Gartside.
"He has two and a half years left on his contract. We have a compromise agreement in place that covers his resignation from this job."
Allardyce has tried to engineer his release from that clause and, if he is successful, will be particularly attractive to Newcastle.
All interesting stuff and perhaps significant that no denial has forthcoming from SJP so far - unlike other recent tabloid tales that were swiftly rubbished.
I really hope the highlighted bit is bullshit but I wouldn't be surprised.
You can't accept a resignation and then try for compensation after the fact.
"He has two and a half years left on his contract. We have a compromise agreement in place that covers his resignation from this job."

Looks like they can!

Does anyone like the Bardsley kid from Man u?
Maybe we could nick in ahead of Villa to get a young developing right back.
-
Taribo West?

Distin is better than what we have but still makes the odd error. Having said that I can't claim to have seen that much of him this season, I'll hunt for Dr. Spectrum's opinion in a second, it's bound to be on here somewhere. He's also got a good 5 years+ experience in the Premiership now so that's good.
Sylvain Distin is the in the top 4 centre halves outside the top 4 of the premiership. In the premiership. IMO. If that makes sense.
(The other 3 are King, Yobo and Campbell, what order you wanna put em in is meh)
Woodgate?
Ben Haim?

In January maybe ... but considering how things have gone this season and with a whole summer in front of them they will end up going for a big name defender like they always do.
I dont think they will , I also think Chelsea's Avram Grant will want to bring him in. But I would put Benny H well above Distin on my shopping list.
Another key point is that Ben Haim would be straight into our first team. He doesn't strike me as someone who would go to Chelsea to sit on the bench. As long as Carvalho and Terry are fit he won't be playing at all, especially as he isn't that versatile.
-
Is distin over 30? No!
Does he have a big CV? No!
Is Distin younger than 26? No!
You have to wonder about Roeder if this is true.
A tad worrying ...
Although I wouldn't be adverse to Disitn, it doesn't match up with what Roeder has been saying. Maybe he has been attempting to throw a smokescreen.
-
Because everyone thinks Ben Haim will be going to Chelsea

You can be sure about that!
-
Sol Campbell - Free
Curtis Davies - 10m
Justin Hoyte - 5m
How would Campbell be on a free, when he's got a year left on his contract?
Distin and Hyypia seem good shouts for the two CB positions, then we need a New LB & New RB
You would have Distin over Ben Haim? Event hough Ben Haim is a better player and is five years younger and is also a better defender???
Ben Haim and Hyypia. Simple as that.
I should be managing NUFC ... we would have the best defence in the league.
-
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!!
Another defender thread with no mention of Ben Haim??? I am well and truly baffled by this!
Talk of Distin and Campbell but not Ben Haim??? Ben Haim is only 25 and yet still very experienced in the premiership, and is on a free too.
Hypia - Experienced and would be cheap as Rafa is clearly phasing him out of the Liverpool squad. Could be our leader and teacher at the back.
Ben Haim - Experienced but still young enough to have a long career at the club and continue to grow.
Leighton Baines - Quality, young, confident, committed left-back.
Next season ...
Baines-----Hyypia-----Ben Haim-----Solano
And eventually after a season or so ...
Baines-----Taylor-----Ben Haim-----Solano
Why would Ben Haim leave Bolton to come here?
HE IS A FREE AGENT AT THE END OF THE SEASON!!!
We will give him a decent pay rise and if we have Big Sam here we will have a good chance.

Over 30 and experienced with a big CV ...
HYYPIA!!!I tell thee HYYPIA!!!

The
Fergie f***** up again, cholkes again at the last hurdle. Should have started with 4-4-2 and kept Ronaldo on the right.
The funny thing is that Saha was fit to play and even Alan Smith could have played upfront with Rooney as he had a good game in the first leg.
Baffling stuff ...
Almost as bad as Roeder's performance at AZ Alkmaar. I have no doubt that with a better shape Man U would have gone through tonight.
Shocking.

Master of unrequired new threads.

:lol: -
has cost them the game ...
Starts with a 4-3-3 with Rooney as the lone striker!
Carrick, Scholes and Fletcher, none of whom are particularly good in the tackle, had to go up against Pirlo, Seedorf, Gattuso and Kaka who was dropping deep.
Ferguson didn't change this formation until they were 2 - 0 down too!
Poor man's Roeder tbh ...

Calm down buddy ...
Not bought a shirt in ages, or any other NUFC merchandise for that matter, and never will again till I can be proud of the team I support and right now I'm not.
However I do like the new design and hopefully with what is transpiring at the moment we will have a team we can be proud of wearing that kit next season.
Capish?
