I don't even necessarily think he was a bad footballer. He somehow remained at the wrong level. As a championship striker he would have continued to be the stuff of legend. Good guy, loves newcastle, his best wasn't good enough but Godspeed and god bless; win the World Cup
All gravy from Davy G there. The likes of Quinn, keegan and gondola know the score because they follow the club at a level more than the league table. They know, they won't go for the juggler as somebody should but it's better than the rest talking the boys club up .
Can see it happening. The mercenary way we operate isn't that much different and it's how pardew wants it I'm sure given the choice. Carlton cole and Darren bent with someone like cattermole in the middle and James Tompkins and Williamson at the back giving us height in the box.
