Ronaldo

Williamson has had a good season. He's been particularly excellent recently.

:lol:

I don't think he's worth that.

There's a shock.

Paul Lambert.

Ryan Taylor has done more for Newcastle than Ireland has. He's also done more for Newcastle than Ben Arfa has.

jose not mentioned in that article, looks like he is on his way Because Lee Ryder doesn't mention him?

At least it didn't happen 3 months ago.

Dyer was 10 times the player Milner could ever dream of being.

One thing's for certain - as good as Rio and Vidic are (they're the best, basically) both struggle with players running at them, especially Vidic. Which is why I give Barca the edge.

Solano was always good. Rarely brilliant, but always good. Great crosser of the ball and good set pieces. Ginola on the left, Robert was way too inconsistent. Either amazing or a waste of a place in the team. But usually the former. Solano had more ineffective games - just for different, less obvious reasons. i know what you are getting at. often away from home what he done,he done well but too often there wasn't much of it. I think Solano needed others to give him the ball. He wasn't a fighter who would do a 20ft slide tackle in the mud in Hull when losing 2-0, but I think when surrounded by our best players, he would flourish, especially with Shearer and Ferdinand on the end of his deliveries. There's the difference between them then - Solano played great in a great team. Robert made a team great.

Bit of the old rose tinted spectacles there, mate! I'd say it was 70/30 - s***/great for Robert. Why do you think he did absolutely nothing after he left us? His freekicks were amazing when they went in, but again, he would pound 90% of them into row Z. He got old. It happens. Show me another player current or otherwise that could repeat his goals/assists from 03-04. Pedro springs to mind, Bellamy perhaps.

Having the best manager in the world makes a hell of difference. They have a chance, certainly.

Solano looked very good fairly often, but rarely great. Ginola gets the nod on the right, for me anyway.

Less of the little. I'm 6ft 4. As is Mike Williamson. Hmmm.... It's more likely to be Stevie Taylor, trying to squeeze an extra couple of inches on.

Beardsley has to be the first name on the teamsheet. He's quite simply the greatest player to wear the shirt in the modern era.

This forum? Nah, he's a real people person.

I wonder if that bald little bastard from The Chronicle somehow gets wind of this. Can't write for shite, but he certainly has his sources.

Let's hope the fee is reasonable.

Wouldn't happen. He's not ready to retire. Not sure he ever will be.

It's quite incredible he still has not managed a goal in a league start for Man U, like. Even Lovenrkands would manage that. Shefki Kuqi, even.

Must say, I wouldn't mind us putting another defensive midfielder in the starting Xl. There's a lot to be said for not conceding goals - look at City; their defence isn't that much better than ours. I want us to be a team that other teams need to take risks against.

Come on Ronaldo you're better than that. With Liverpool he averaged a minimum of 1 goal in 2 in every single season bar one. League goals should always be the benchmark. Owen's had 10+ seasons in the premiership and he never reached 20 goals is astounding and shows he was not a great striker IMO. Just look at his record man. Ridiculous statement. 97-98 18 in 36 98-99 18 in 30 99-00 11 in 27 00-01 16 in 28 01-02 19 in 29 02-03 19 in 35 03-04 16 in 29 He was a very good goalscorer at this peak, no doubt about it. But he was never a Drogba, Henry or Shearer. He wasn't a great player.
