Nail on head.
Signing past-it players from bigger clubs has to stop. We need players who are using a transfer to Newcastle as a step up in their career, not a step down or one big last payday before they pack it in.
I think we should all just be thankful that Smith was dropped, whether or not you think Viduka is worth his place in the starting line-up.
I for one hope he starts against Fulham, might be a chance for him to get back on the goal trail.
I agree about Godsmark, he's looked really good whenever I've seen him. Glad he's got a pro contract
He's so fast. Hope he doesn't become Alan O'Brien MKII though - (bags of pace but no crossing ability at all.)
From what I've heard from Kev, Kadar seems to be ahead of Tozer in terms of a look-in for the first team.
Plus, Kadar's been playing as left-back and Tozer as a left centre-back.
Yeah, I thought Kev was on smack when he said Geremi and Barton impressed him.
Geremi was meh at best and put in some crap set pieces.
Barton just generally cack.
Martins gets slated less than, say, Ameobi for missing a chance, simply because he occasionally scores great goals (last season) - Alkmaar (h), Spurs (a), Tallinn (h) to name a few.
Just missing out The Championship completely? Aye?
Yes. That's how bad it would be if we can't beat Fulham. They are a total shower.
If we can't beat them, the Championship would be too kind a reward tbh.
