Boey_Jarton Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 The main plus point for Anelka is that he can play in almost any combination, since he has strength and pace. Anelka and Martins upfront would scare the majority of defenders im sure. I think we may be in a pickle regarding owen this summer. He will have only 1 year left on his contract ( i think? correct me if im wrong?) His release clause supposedly lowers again. We could be in a position where we have to sell him. Bolton look doomed under 'Mr Bolton Wanderers football club' and have a good chance of going down. Anelka could be an ideal replacement if we were forced to sell Owen.

Hope its the latter, and not Diouf, who is up there with Ljungberg as an annoying, diving, cheating piece of shit footballer who's main talent is the ability to draw fouls by diving.

I wouldn't be that bothered because I know Diouf respects Sam (I've seen him state that in interviews), you're not that far off, though. To Diouf's credit he tore us to shreds at Sid James last year and changed the game when he came on at the Reebok. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSG Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Gudjohnsson and Edmilson would do nicely. A quality RW thrown in would be lovely as well. Like I said earlier, then concentrate on full back backups. Fuck me, a transfer window where I don't want us to sign a CB! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolton look doomed under 'Mr Bolton Wanderers football club' and have a good chance of going down. Anelka could be an ideal replacement if we were forced to sell Owen. Anelka has also looked very promising in recent years, i.e. he still has pace and a good finishing ability. Owen however, has lost his pace and his injuries are ridiculous. He took some time to settle in at Bolton and took about 2 and a half months to score. Although, since then he has scored 16 league goals in a weak team. Anelka has also made 44 league appearances since late August 2006. Since August 2005, Owen has made 20 league appearances. Owen is a world-class player, when he isn't injured. I think our striking options are very impressive this season and there is no need to tamper in January unless the right offer does come in for Owen. Anelka will be even more unsettled now Lee's gone and if he has a good relationship with Big Sam, it's time to go for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Anelka will just want to move on again though. He's been banging on about top 4 teams again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 A pure quality creative centre midfielder aswell as someone like Anelka or Diouf who can play in a three pronged attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Menez from Monaco might be worth a look. Wide man with flair , 20 yrs old. Played with Zoggy for France U21's i think. I'm sure he played against us for Sochaux. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 The large crowd in attendance to watch the Red Bulls beat Kansas City on Saturday included one very interested spectator. Newcastle United's chief scout was in attendance and, while sources state he was there to gauge the quality of play in Major League Soccer, it appears he was there to scout a particular player. No, it wasn't Jozy Altidore, at least that is what sources tell me. The scout was there to see Wizards forward Eddie Johnson, whose contract is set to expire at the end of the season. It wasn't exactly the best game for Johnson, who missed a penalty kick and didn't really go off, but Newcastle can't be blamed for being interested in an athletic forward who qualifies for a work permit AND who can come on a free transfer in during the winter. Also, if your team had Michael Owen, who is always a risk to get hurt, wouldn't you be looking for some inexpensive mid-season alternatives at forward? And before you go ripping on the scout (whose name I wasn't able to get) for looking at Johnson instead of Altidore, he did meet with Altidore after the match. I saw the two chatting outside the Red Bulls locker room afterwards. A source close to Altidore insists that it was just a casual handshake and chat but let's face it, if the scout is worth his salt, he knows who Altidore is and surely watched him with some added interest on Saturday. Unfortunately for Jozy, he was used out of position and didn't have one of his best matches either. Even with that, the scout still saw a a skillful and athletic player with impressive size who just so happens to still be 17. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Harry-Norway Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Please go for Brede Hangeland ,the Norwegian defender in FC Copenhagen now Toon before someone else pick him up,he had a very good game last night again for Norway 2-0 win against Bosnia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ElScorcho Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Well one player i certianly don't want to see here is Jussi Jaskalienen (sp) i agree, he is the biggest pile of s****...used to be good though Jussi is not that bad. He has kept clean sheet in Finlands last three games against Serbia, Poland and Belgium. Bolton defence is just so f****** poor. But still no need for Jääskeläinen at Newcastle, because of Given and Harper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Hangeland=Poor mans Rozehnal tbh Interesting read about Johnson and Altidore.

Lotus Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Think Kompany from HSV would make a very good DM. I believe he is originally a CB but is so comfortable with the ball i think he could play DM. Big too. Him and Menez if i'm daydreaming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
