Guest Peter.Sthlm Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 When 1st january comes NUFC shouldn't be after players such as Lance Davids. He plays for my Swedish team and even though I do like him I can't see him beeing anywhere near good enough for the Premiership.

EthiGeordie Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I wonder why people worry about selling good players like Emer do they pay their wages it doesn't make sense to try to sell any first teamers at this momment. I belive Diego would be awesome player for us if we get him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearer9 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Priorities: 1. Creative attacking midfielder 2. Target man striker. I think Crouch and Anelka are the best two options I've seen so far. Vastly different players, but both could play the top of a 4-5-1 and an attack could be built around them 3. Dynamic winger, preferably able to play on both flanks 4. Fullback I'm really torn between which should be number 1 in those top three, but I think a creative midfielder who has good vision and can pass is priority number 1. Pace would be an added asset, but we really lack this now. I even feel like Nobby could have done a job there this season, but that opportunity's gone. Would love to see us move for a Bale/Richards type at fullback, although nobody specific comes to mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest battyleespeed Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 For me the "lack of vision" and lack of quality balls from midfield is more of coaching problem than anything else. There seems to be problems with lack of movement and timing/direction of runs which probably comes from the training ground. Barton and Emre are quite good at creating if they are just given options to play the killer ball. Even Butt can play good pass from time to time. Anyway, I wouldn't be too surprised if Owen would be sold and Big Sam bringing in defender who can play both CB and LB positions and another target player like Crouch. At least some of them will be similar in attitude to those he already bought (combatitive, leader-type, has will to win, etc.). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I think he's been pretty impressive this year in the Prem despite playing for a crap team, and he could provide some forward drive to our midfield at a bargain price.

I think playing in a poor side helps him look better than he actually is, don't get me wrong he's a decent player but he's nothing better than we already have. That's the point for me, really. If we're going to look for centre-midfielders, we need to be looking for very good players who would improve the first team. In the shape of Butt, Emre, Geremi, Barton - we've got two/three very good squad players. Koumas is no better than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edd Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Think it'd be a mistake letting Emre go tbh, he's a great player ...and they say that word is overused.... Sorry, let me rephrase. On his day, he has the potential to be a great player He's had the potential since he arrived at the club and he's never fucking shown it. Great players dominate games, they don't manage one or two good passes in 90 minutes and then turn invisible. The most overrated player we have.

broony Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Owen will not leave Anelka will not come Carr will leave Shola will stay and prove his worth in January when Owen and Martins are not available We will get one new defender bought as a multi purpose stop gap for LB/CB./RB /crystal ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

broony Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I know most on here hate shola but he has saved our arses a number of times, end of 06 season, getting us into Europe springs to mind. In my opinion he would be alot better than Smith or Martins for getting the ball to stick when we hump these long balls. Obviously he is not world class, but he is good enough for the premiership and would be much happier waiting his chance with the other strikers than someone like Owen, Martins, Viduka or Anelka. It makes no sense to sell him as our backup big man striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko1892 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Well Mort has said we wont be spending money on first team players in january. Which I think is a mistake I think.

Guest Brazilianbob Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Mort has made it abundantly clear so this is a completely pointless thread.

Because some nuggets blame him for being injured and also because he doesnt seem to fit into the system Sam wants to play. I still think if we can get service to him in the box he will score loads of goals. We need him anyway once Oba fucks of to Africa for however long.
