Good players on paper because they're French internationals, that's all.
+ 2 Argentineans, 1 Ivorian, 2 Dutch, 2 English (3 if we signed ince or Sinclair), 1 Senegalese, 1 Italian...
Come on when have we had any depth at the back? Our glory years under Sir Bobby had Shola and Lua Lua as 3rd/4th choice, players like McClen, Brittain etc.. were getting games.
This potential squad could be the best I remember anyway, even if it is a bunch of French and on paper
Good as Sir Bob's spell at the club was, you cannot say it was our 'glory years'....under KK and SJH we finished second in the PL twice and were a far bigger threat to Man U than under SBR and Shepherd. We had a better squad and played better football.
Even the KK era was hardly our glory years...we won the FA Cup 3 times in the 1950s.....
Sorry I meant glory years under Sir Bobby as in the best periods when he was manager rather than them being the best years of Newcastle. Even KKs squads etc.. this feels more complete (if the signings come off). We really will have pretty much 2 quality players in every position, well hopefully!
It'll still feel like crazy teeth lady driving Michael Schumacher's Ferrari until we get rid of Pards I'm afraid.
