    Owen's overall game

    in Football

    Posted

    Whatever Owen chooses to do, I'd not hold it against him. Of coure I'd like him to stay, because he's an important player for us now. But I also realise that IF we'd been in a different situation i.e being in the top 5 with no worries, I would min seeing him leave on the free or being sold as no player is more important than the club. At the end of the day we all want the players we have to want to play for newcastle United, rather than seeing us as just way of getting their pay cheque.

    Rather have this poll after the Jan. window. Rigt now though I'm closer to a 7, but a few 3-pointers might change that drastically.

     

    Dont say 7 ! It will draw out the screamer Chez.

     

    Better ?;)

    Ashley wins back fans in survey

    Still want him out, although I realise he might be forced to stay a bit longer because of the credit crunch. I certainly does not see the situation in total black or white (as in either this or that). The one thing I'd like to point out is the all famous "but-guys-I-really-cleared-a-lot-of-debt" stunt, which I believe to be a reasonable thing to do considering the fact that a lot of EPL teams struggle with huge debt. West Ham find themselves in a bit of a financial mess with the Tevez/Sheff Utd situation, and I'd expect any of the top 4 teams to have some kind of financial trouble if they suddenly weren't to qualify for Champ. League or even loose out on a Euro qual. So I'd imagine we would have been in a bit tougher situation today with all the debt hanging over us.

     

    Regarding the transfer policy, the only thing that really has impressed me is Wise et al. work bringing in some very promising talents, in addition to Jonas and Colo. That kind of vision is something we've been lacking, and I got to say that bit is slightly improven. Apart from that, I feel Ashley has been a failure and a joke. When he first bought the club I didn't expect anything like Man City do now, but I got to  admit that I expected us to show far more finacial muscles than we have. And for that reason, I am going to remember Ashley as the the story about the "wallet boy".
