Newcastle Fan

Read my post again. I'm talking about when we bought him. Sorry,Didnt notice Well,we will never know will we,wasn't Owen wanted by Liverpool,Chelsea and etc..but we offerd him this huge wage and fee that no one matched ,and we ended up signing him,i guess the same goes for Luque

No body came for him because he hasn't played a decent run of game for the last two years,why take a gamble on him when you have other players who are playing regurlery in their teams...

Was Luque ever class, or did he just have one or two good seasons? Who can blame Roeder for talking up his signing? A) Luque was Class,one of the La-Liga's best players when we signed him and was wanted by both Madrid and Barca. B)I Can..

Wait.. We had 4 millions and all we got is Gooch?

Vs Bolton,Luque starting Playere in Bold have played with our first team this season Lee Kerr is starting the game as part of his trial.. At least Luque got ahead of Carroll this time

Yes You spend too much time in toontastic..

What about Luque you idiot !!! He had NO class when he came here and it's NOT up to you do get the best out of him Agreed But Remember,Duff is not spanish..

Gutted tbh that Lennon And Bentley didnt get any Extra points,while Berbatov got 3! now i am 2 points behind the 2nd placed side in a league with my mates/family,couldve used some extra points..

We are blaming him (And Luque,if he plays) for everything that goes wrong Parker is a decent player,he is being mismanged by Roeder,who is playing him in a free role,Parker is a DMC,he tackles,gets the ball,helps the defenct,Roeder wants him to be the hear of our team,in both the attack and the defence,this effected his form,and added alot of pressure on him,Roeder in clearly not helping by also making him captin,something that made his the scapegoat for most of our poor peformence's Parker is a very decent DMC,he is a fantastic holding midfielder that deserves to go to England,if he plays like he played like season,Putting him in various stupid postion's like what Roeder is doing to him now will only turn him into a worse player Check CoachHTT thread about getting the best of Scott Parker,if Roeder simply do what HTT said he should do,Parker will be one of our better players,but clearly thats not going to happen,and Parker will only go from bad to worse..

He is decent,but i see him as more of a supporting striker then a main striker,he can't cause problems that for sure,but his finishing is average,i don't think he will be a hit here,we should look for more clinical strikers who can score for fun,we already have a fantastic player in Martins,and Owen is coming back soon,what we need now is a target man,a guy who is great in the air and score with both head and feet..

Barcelona have a good academy maninly because they scout for talents who are really young,they sign players from Brazil and Argentina that are aged from 8 to 13,they improve them in the academy and create fantatsic talents.. But i don't think they have the best academy in the world,Because they didnt really produce big players,i mean look at your team,its a team that will hardly win anything,most of the players in it are youngsters who we still don't know if they are going to devolp into good players or not,another issue is the fact that barca don't really care about their academy,i.e look at the way Arsenal simply "Snatched" Fabrigcas and Juan Merida from them,very few players actually make it to the first team Many other teams have great academy,suprised that not many mentioned Manchester United,most of the team that won the 99 triple were academy players,Most dutch teams have great academys,Ajax/PSV created a new profitable concept of growing fantastic talents,selling them for money,and then replacing them with more academy talents,they started doing that in the early 90's and to this day Ajax and PSV have some of the worlds finisest youngsters in their teams.. Engilish teams in genral also have nice academys,heck even we have a good academy,wich was proven by the fact that most of our youngsters did very well this season,we have a fantastic talent is Steven Taylor,But the real good academys in England are those of West Ham,Manchester Citys,And Southampton (recently). In the Future most clubs will either depend on youngsters from South or North America (already being done in spain,Madrid and Barca),Or Home grown talents from the clubs academy,like here in England,the number of transfers will decrease and Club academys will be the No.1 Source of players for that same team..

Glenn Roeder should be chosen as the Premierships most kind to lost wildlife manager considring the wildlife animals he picks for our starting eleven when they are fit..

What a game,What a game..

Defo pen mate. Didnt get to see it well.. I think your right..

I think it was a dive be Lennon On the bright side he is on my fantasy team

Aye, great stuff. Well daft that it's an automatic booking. Agreed.. Brilliant game today,thats how a derby should be played..

Cristano Ronaldo.without a shadow of a doubt...

Theo Walloctt,Ballack,Tottenham..

The problem is they don't..he will propbly be offred a new contract come the end of next season the only way to fire a manager here is when he screws up REALLY bad like what Souness did..

Tim Cahil is out for the rest of the season Alot of people in this board will be happy..

Suprised to say that most people i know are Roeder is good,but not good enough,the problem is we are stuck somewhere between Big club and Mid table club,so i think we should aim higher,Roeder ambition is simple,keep the club away from the relegation zone,he is not the manager that will win us anything (well,no one is),or at least lead us into the top 5..he will simply keep us as a mid table team,thats why we should change him as soon as possible,unless we are happy being a mid table side..

Class post,fully agree with it I always said Roeder handles this club as if we are a mid table clubs just aiming a mid table place in the league,he has no real ambition,it shows by the way he manages the team during games and how often he is satsfied with a draw rather then going for the win,With roeder we will always be a mid table team,what we need is a manager who aims to get the club to the highest possible postion,and is willing to take a risk or two in order for the team to go to the postion

Sidwell is quality,we need players like him in our team
