sempuki Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 From .com: Incoming: Woodgate on way back? We hear that Jonathan Woodgate is on his way back to Tyneside after the player rejected an offer from Tottenham. Confirmation had come on Friday that former Magpies defender Woodgate had been given permission by his club Middlesbrough to speak with Spurs over a transfer. This followed a public statement from the Riverside on Thursday that no bids had been received for any of Southgate's smoggie squad at that point - amid media claims that Newcastle were looking at Woodgate. Other sources claimed that Newcastle had enquired about the 28 year-old Teessider earlier this week, but thought he was over-valued at the allegedly-quoted £8m. Should Woodgate return, it might have implications for Cacapa - current wearer of the no.6 shirt. When Woodgate left Newcastle for Real Madrid for £13.4m in August 2004, Freddy Shepherd declared that his shirt would be kept ready for his return. We'll see....

Cajun Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I am very scared about this transfer as this is injury central but a little excited because of his ability (or what he had). Its similar to how I feel with Keegan coming back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Isn't he injured? Isn't he always? A great player when he plays although I'm not sure what to think about this..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Isn't he injured? Gabby Logan just said on the beeb that he's out of the squad today after being given permission to speak to Spurs yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Agree £7m isn't bad, it's what Boro would want and it's not too much. He needs to regain some form though, and he's still nowhere near an ever-present. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 ahh well, obviously my feelings on this depend on how fit he's gonna stay, still, it is nice to get another player that spurs wanted, just to piss them off, haha, expect even MORE press backlash now from all the spurs journo's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I just remember his debut vs. Chelsea at home. I think it was Gronkjaer went bombing down the right and looked to be clean through, and Woody came across and timed his sliding tackle to perfection. It was something we had been lacking for god knows how long. If we can keep him fit, £7m is a snip. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 For Ally, Woodgate has finished 13 of his 16 appearances this season. Middlesbough have played 26 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was pretty nippy for us (on the rare occasion he played). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.R. Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Keegan's signing of Fowler makes he have doubts about this one; but I suppose if it all goes tits up, we've only paid £3 million for him, when you consider the profit we had from his wilderness years. Another club being prepared to fork out for him is a good sign, but Spurs were also prepared to take Duff off Chelsea's hands. It's like Scrapheap Challenge with NUFC and THFC.

Keefaz Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Still, another transfer in which Spurs can bitch about us pricing them out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 He is a cracking CB no doubt about that and there is not as big a question mark over his fitness as there was when he was here and at Real but he age demand must be a canny size and is he really worth it now?
