how about colin kazim-richards :p he has improved alot while in turkey, when he first moved he was quite a poor player with abit of pace and very poor technically, he is now technically very good and seems to have gotten faster and has quite good finishing now unlike how he was in the premiership, reminds me of ribery who was not the best of players when he first moved to turkey and only had speed going for him like lennon from spurs but improved alot in his short time with galatasaray and also moved up from the lower leagues ;)... obvisally he is no ribery but he is developing in to a really good winger..

 

newcastle should send there young players on loan to more technical leagues.. make a partnership with a small club to develop some of their players.

Before anyone starts drawing Boumsong comparisons, Cueller looks a totally different player to him in the Scottish league. He wins his headers and instead of trying to pick a 50 yard pass, he plays a short pass to the best option. He's quick enough ( for a player of his size) and always seems to be in the righ place at the right time! I think he's worth a go, AT THE RIGHT PRICE! I fear given his importance to Rangers and their run in Europe this year, it could be anything up to £10m unfortunately!

So you've seen a bit of him then?

 

Is he good technically and can he also play a sweeper type role. I think we could really do with a defender of this type, which we currently lack.

And importantly he seems to be a leader who is constantly organising and shouting at the defence. What we need.

 

Judging on what I saw last night Arshavin could be quality. He is extremely fast and looks a top player. Not sure what position he plays but looks like he could be on either side of a front 3 or possible on the wing. Farfan is another class player.

I've seen a good few Rangers games this season and he's been impressive, albeit in the SPL. But in the CL and UEFA Cup he's more than held his own. He is pretty good technically, rarely misjudges headers and lets not forget, he's been covering a 37 year old David Weir all season too so he's doing quite a bit! Could play sweeper but iyam, not what we need at Newcastle! Play him at centre back.

What I meant was does he have the ability to distribute the ball to midfileders fficiently from the back and is he composed and neat and tidyin posession of the ball.

 

Wasn't advocating that we play him as a sweeper per se!

 

I just think we need to add a centre back with a bit of quality this summer.

Yes. Composed is the word to describe him really. Never puts himself under any pressure and is calm and collected on the ball.

Get you now! He seems to win his challenges and play a short 5 - 10 yard pass. it helps when The Gers have Ferguson or Hemdani dropping deep to receive it and drive on to put a more telling pass in, whereas we have........

Excellent. Really sounds like the sort we could do with then.

 

If we could get this fella along with Dunne, and have Taylor and Faye as backup that would be a very healthy position to be in.

ha ha ha ha

 

Say no more. I totally understand.

 

I do love defenders that resist the temptation to hoof the long ball up the pitch, so the Butt man will have to get his act together and do a better job of dropping deep to get the ball.

Thats only half the problem though! what will he do with it when he drops deep? 2 must buys this summer are a CB and a creative midfielder!
