NSG Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Looking pretty impressive: Given, Harper Krul Carr, Beye, Faye, Cacapa, Rozehnal, Taylor, Enrique, Babayaro, Edgar, Ramage Milner, Butt, Geremi, Emre, Barton, Smith, N'Zogbia, Duff Pattison Troisi Owen, Martins, Viduka, Shola Carroll Think we're just a creative midfielder short of a very good team. Let me know if i've missed anyone. One's in italic are on loan/fringe squad members. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I can't remember the last time I could say this but we do look to have good strength in depth, if we do well up to Christmas then we might just put the icing on the cake and get some creativity in as quite a few teams will be out of Europe by then.

Northern Monkey Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 all of this 'we have a very good team' stuff is a bit optimistic. i wouldn't rate more than one of our forwards as very good. another could be very good, and thats it. and if cacapa and the other new defenders don't come good we have taylor and rozenhal, and nothing else. we've been burned too often for me. i'm cautiously optimistic, but starting to wank ourselves off over stuff just yet is a bit premature.

Newcastle Fan Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Decent squad that really lacks creativity, lets hope we win games by playing dull physical football Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Why the hell has it taken so long for our defence to get a total revamp?! I mean last years is so laughable compared to now. My squad with everyone fit, not that it will even happen ----------------------------Viduka--------Owen N'Zogbia-----------------Geremi--------Barton----------------Milner Enrique------------------Rozenhal------Cacapa---------------Beye -------------------------------------Given Subs: Harper, Smith, Martins, Faye, Duff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicky Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Given Beye Cacapa Rozehnal Enrique Milner Geremi Barton Duff Viduka Owen Bench; Harper Taylor Faye Smith Martins Bloody hell.

Mick Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Disagree Milner, Zog, Emre, Martins (to a degree), Duff (if ever fit) are all creative players. They may create things but none of those are likely to be splitting the opposition defence with a pass from midfield, we need some creativity in the centre and so far Emre hasn't done that often enough for us to be confident that he'll start doing it when he gets back in the team, at least he'll have the benefit of working for a better manager than last season.
