Ronaldo

He was our best player from 04-06, hasn't gone right for him since. Still has to be in the team though

giving us no time on the ball whatsoever, we need wingers on the pitch against teams like this

To think, I spent just about every other day last summer arguing with folk who though Ashley was doing a good job

What say does Shearer have in the matter? IF he had a say in the matter, and lets hope he will, very soon Shearer's ran away on Holiday, so if anything bad happens like selling our best players for fuk all he cannot be blamed. I expect a big clearout of all the players we'd like to keep for sod all in the next week or so Shearer's on holiday. what's your point? Who suggested he could be blamed?

Shearer would surely never let that happen

Short term planning is what got us into this mess. Last season we had a team laced with captains and experience, look where it got us. We need to invest in relatively proven players the right side of 25

Well, who knows. But if they get rid of Eto'o they're basically insane, Henry isn't half the player

well we need to avoid him then. We need to start building for the future and any player who will never be up to it in the premiership probably isn't worth gambling on for the championship Beckford is an exception to this, because he's so proven in league one

You cant have Henry, Eto'o, Messi and Ibra in the same team. Henry will be the one left out and rightfully so

Henry's days for Barca are surely numbered if that happens

Shearer has said since that he's talked to him twice. I dont believe for one second that Shearer has already written him off, he's seen first hand what happens when you write off your best players prematurely because of indiscipline

Don't know where people get he's our best mid from, he struggles to pass a ball in a straight line when he's not suspended or locked up. Simple really, who's better? Nicky Butt, and i want to see Butt free transferred this summer. :lol:

Hope we keep him. In addition to being our best midfielder I actually find him a lot easier to like than most at the club

Any manager worth his salt will go for Martins before Owen, especially one as shrewd as David Moyes.

says it all

it'll take 2 goals before the twats of MOTD and the rest mention a return to the england squad

Is Lovenkrands the first player to actaully apologize?

Because he doesn't play for nufc? Stupid thread

Good - inconsistent, over-hyped. Thanks for the memories but not what we need. I reckon 8-10 mil is a fair price in the current market the only memories i have is a thunderbolt away to spurs, a couple of canny efforts but in the end, a lazy, work-shy, inconsistent, huffy tosser. hope he has a career ending injury when he f***s off elsewhere, like most of the players who will be leaving this summer. You should thank your lucky stars you don't sit anywhere near me at the game (if you even go)

Why do you count them out though? You have to admit they have the best side outside the top 4. Their results drastically picked up 2nd half the season and ended it really strong. They have really good midfield, keeper (not wumming), strikers and an ok defense which is bound to get strengthened. If they sign 1 or 2 players i really think they push on, they only finished 3 points from 7th last year and they had dreadful 1st half of the season and still nearly made Europe. I can see them finishing 5th next year, as long as they don't completely change their side. Tactically I think Hughes is weak and they seem to struggle to regroup when they go behind. Up front they don't seem to have enough presence or firepower and in defence they have been pretty poor all season. I just cant see them investing in the right areas tbh, but we'll see

Everton and Arsenal will fight for 4th next season imo with Villa and sadly Spurs fighting for 6th. City will at best head the remaining club, so 8th or below

that was like 3 years ago mate

Agree with Neil here, City wont finisher higher than 8th imo

Same here, I think they charge every quarter. Although their main call centre is in Newry and ive a few mates who work there, I asked them to cancel it on the system a couple of months ago, so maybe theres some sort of bug with my account and its supposed to not be on Nah cos it hasn't happened since Christmas, gone through me bank statements twice. same with me
