Captain Underpants Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 According to a swedish website called fotbollskanalen, we're apparantly after Sebastian Larsson from Birmingham. Good squad player. Great freekicks. Thoughts? http://fotbollskanalen.se/1.478838/2008/05/28/newcastle_jagar_sebastian_larsson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Would be a decent addition if price is reasonable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I like the player, but worry that he didn't really make an impact with Brum last year, I expected more from him. As long as the money concerned is reasonable , then I think we should go in for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Underpants Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 There is a couple of quotes aswell in the article, but he didnt seem to know about the speculation surrounding him. He did however say that Newcastle is a good club. But he just wants to concentrate on the upcoming games in the European Championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Good squad player who's not only better than Geremi but will be on a lot less in wages too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Good squad player who's not only better than Geremi but will be on a lot less in wages too. This. At less than £3m it'd be a much needed addition to the squad. Can play across the middle and FB is desperate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I rate him. I'd be happy with this for £3m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gash Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I think he is really good and would be an awesome addition to your squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sicko2ndbest Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Not good enough! Average at best, wouldn't take us to the next level. We have plenty of squad players, we need players who are going to make a big difference to our first team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake_horne76 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 When i was up in newcastle last week,i was speaking to a birmingham season ticket holder and he also said we were after larsson and had shown a intrest in kapo..Dont know how much truth was in either tho,but he seemed to know his stuff!

He was one that Wenger was happy to let go and that says everything about him imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Even though Birmingham crumbled after he got injured in our game, I think he's still pretty average, but may be a useful squad player for now while the Barton thing is still unresolved.

Yorkie Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I think Keegan was on the right wavelength when he was (alledgedly) looking at Kapo. However Larsson would certainly give us something that no fucker else in our squad has got; the ability to deliver a set piece with decent consistency.

And I do not agree we dont need squad players. We sure does, but we also need top class players and even if Larsson isnt one, he might become. He's still young. He was outstanding against you lot, Martin Jol.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wenger wasn't happy that Bentley went but he felt he had to let the player go as he couldn't guarantee first team chances. He doesn't let many top players go.

Guest Heneage Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Distinctly average player who caused Enrique no trouble at St Andrews. Yes he's versatile but he's average in all positions, I want players that stand chance of taking the club forward, Kapo is one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDT Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 kapo was pretty gash for most of the season after he had a few stand out performances early on, couldn't even get in the starting 11 at the end of the season, was larsson not brums player of the year?

Guest Stephen927 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Would be a good solid signing. Would be hungry to prove his worth too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I like him. Would do better in a three man midfield than he has as a winger, where he lacks a bit of pace. The guy is only 22 years old but has a lot of prem experience and a good background at Arsenal. I would definitely go for him. Could be another Bentley situation all over again. He and Bentley performed at a pretty similar level at Arsenal. He has arguably done better at Birmignham than Bentley did at Norwich. I remember wanting Bentley when he was available after leaving Arsenal and there were a lot of naysayers then, claiming he was an average Arsenal cast off ... Basically, the guy is so cheap that it can't really hurt us too much. At the worst he would be a very good squad player. He has more quality than Milner, Duff and Smith so why the hell not. He's so young theres no telling how good he could become. Also a full Swedish international so he's getting a lot of great experience. Put that bid in.

KaKa Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 It's so funny, but this is the kind of player Mark Hughes or Moyes would pick up for a pittance with no one batting an eyelid and then when they start flying everyone acts surprised. Stephen Warnock, David Bentley, Jagielka, Lescott, etc. If any of these had been suggested prior to joingin either blackburn or Everton I wonder what the reactions would have been. PUT A BID IN!

Yorkie Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 You seem to know a lot about him, Kaka. What actually are his good attributes, other than being young with a good background? And set pieces, obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
