Gallowgate Toon

nope, its been more about stelios than anything. i am not sure what i think about Barton he is good but there is something about him.

yer i know

i really wish we could have been taken over by now, then wecould get the whole list if we wanted. stupid Fred just let us be taken over already :wullie: Greedy $h1t

i heard his rave reviews against man united, apparently a solid performance, may look slight but he is supposed to be strong(ish) and has a good tackle. he sounds a bit like Nobby currently at RB, he does'nt look very strong but he holds off a few of his opponents so you never know

Full name Nélson Augusto Tomar Marcos Date of birth 10 June 1983 Place of birth Ilha do Sal, Cape Verde Height 170 cm (5'7") Nickname Nelson Position Right-Back, Winger Club information Current club SL Benfica Number 22 Professional clubs* Years Club Apps (goals) 2002–2003 2003–2004 2004-2005 2005– Vilanovense FC Salgueiros Boavista FC SL Benfica 32 (1) 21 (0) 32 (0) 34 (1) National team** 2006– Portugal U-21 23 (2) known for his attacking exploits apparently

yer volz is good but prone to do a bit of "Bramble" concentration wise but physically he is just what we are looking for

Nelson is an excellent right back for Benfica and he IS realistic

I don't think Schulz would go to Bayern tbh he isn't up to their standard

Schulz is not the best left back in Europe by a long shot and Taiwo is a gettable target and tbh so is Baines

To be honest i think Newcastle look in the wrong places for players, Portugal, Germany and France have bundles of good, young, mainly cheap defensive players who would be just as effective as most defenders in the premiership i think newcastle needs to be more like Arsenal and less like Chelsea. In 5 years time the Chelsea team will be quite old or will have at least lost their legs but in five years time Arsenals young defence will have flourished into world class players. we try to buy the currently best but not the future stars and its a problem.

well he would be cheaper option but i would rather have Taiwo or Baines, but he still is better than Babayaro.

Never seen Schulz play just in world soccer talent scout really says alot of good stuff about him, really promising toung left back, quick, strong good in the tackle...

On wikipedia it says that Inter have displayed much interest in him

Christian Schulz from Werder Bremen is a highly rated left back From Wikipedia: Christian Schulz (born 1 April 1983) is a Germany footballer. He plays at left back for Werder Bremen in the German Bundesliga. He Joined Werder Bremen in 1995 at the age of twelve and made his senior debut in 2001/2002. When Turkish player Ümit Davala was injured, Schulz stepped in and made the left back position his own. He has three caps for the Germany national football team. No information on height, weight, clubs etc.

Just watched a video on youtube, he takes the pens as well as free kicks for Marseille looks like a good buy if we could get him but he is probably off to Inter.

From wikipedia: Taye Ismaila Taiwo (born April 16, 1985 in Lagos) is a Nigerian football (soccer) defender who currently plays for Olympique de Marseille (French league). Left-back Taiwo was part of the Nigerian team during the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship. He scored two decisive goals during the competition which enabled Nigeria to reach the final (lost 2-1 against Argentina). He was designated as the third best player of the tournament behind John Obi Mikel (Nigeria) and Lionel Messi (Argentina). After a successful outing in the African Nations Cup in Egypt in Taiwo's future has become extremely bright as he has atrracted interest from Italian giants, Internazionale. Hes a very good player extremely highly rated, good all round left back who can attack and defend, he's also got one hell of a free kick on him.

True

i think thats the price that arsene wenger wanted him to go to man united for, but i take your points how much did chelsea but him for?

i would get: LB Ashley Cole 5 - 8 million CB Woodgate 8 million? RWF/LWF Quaresma 14 Million DM Mahamadou Diarra 13 Million CAM Kaka 24 Million CF Gilardinho 17 Million

yep

Yes Shearer was great HOWEVER the first season he isn't captain we win a trophy, i will admit a really sh*t trophy but a trophy all the same. Perhaps he was holding us back?

Yes Martins is on fire now and he will show us Geordie faithful what he is capable of. However i am becoming increasingly annoyed because people suggest that his transfer was controversial because of his so called age discrepency, and although i think he is 22 it annoys me when other people suggest hes older and i think this is a reason why he has found it harder to settle because of all this fuss.
