midds Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I've changed the title slightly because everytime I log-on to the forum and see, "Agreement made with..." on the main page I keep thinking it's going to be about Coloccini. Have we not officially signed the motherfucker like? .cock say that a few formalities haven't quite been completed. Probably his international clearance, the French can be quite slow at this. Why name him in the Mallorca squad then? If his clearance isn't through, he can't play any part in the games can he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a non-competitive fixture, so we can play whoever we like as long as the registration holder gives permission, and I'd describe this deal between NUFC and Metz as very amiable.

Fatwax Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Gutierrez couldn't play at Doncaster or Hartlepool but came along for them. Team building or something I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 NEW BOY Sebastien Bassong has paid tribute to the Toon Army for making him feel so welcome at Newcastle United. Bassong is hardly one of the household names United supporters expected to see this summer, but is already enjoying cult status on Tyneside. The French ace has been getting to know his new team-mates during the club’s trip to Majorca, but fans were baffled at Doncaster when an unknown figure emerged wearing the No 46 shirt. Fans chanted ‘46, 46, nobody knows your name’ to the tune of the Phillippe Albert song of the 1990s. And he told the Chronicle in his first interview: ‘When I played, I didn’t hear the songs. “Afterwards, when I was told, I was very happy that they sang about me on my debut. “Maybe I will get a smaller number!” Kevin Keegan is set to use Bassong as back-up to the first team this term, but the man signed from Metz said: ‘I am very happy to be at the club – it is a very good thing for me. ‘The manager told me he was happy with me against Doncaster, and I was happy to sign for Newcastle. “He said he wanted to put me in the team in the future, but he also said if I am ready to play now, I will play. The best players will play. “Everybody has helped me settle in and feel good at Newcastle. “I know it is a very, very big club with a very big history. “Some big players have played for this club and it’s like a dream for me here. “I know I have to work hard to take this chance.” http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2008/08/04/sebastien-bassong-sings-praises-of-toon-army-72703-21461090/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.R. Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Perhaps Newcastle’s lack of a recognised and experienced centre-back that can work with Steven Taylor is also beginning to show' date=' as even Sebastien Bassong confessed he is a back-up player, despite the promise shown at Doncaster and against Real Mallorca.[/quote'] Fuck off Oliver. How much did Taylor's dad give you for that one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 French? Or African? Who would he qualify to play for on the world stage is my real question? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenige Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Cracking big performance last night matched only by the huge turn around from the two twats commentating on Setanta. They were twats weren't they? Riled me right up at the start when one of them was like "Steven Taylor, who I think was the clubs Player of the Season last year..." It's like nobody knows Beye exists and if they do they just don't give a crap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Don't want to read too much into friendlies but he has been decent. Indeed, much bigger and better strikers in the Prem for him to come up against but still showed a good reading of the game, good strength and pace, can tackle too.

greydos Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 His positional sense was what impressed me. That and his recovery ability. He doesn't seem the most dominant coming onto the ball heading at the moment, and he's not dynamite with the ball at his feet. But his open play positioning is already better than Tayls and Faye i would say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, it wouldn't take five minutes to see whether or not someone is better than Taylor. Although the bit about his heading (excluding the chance from the corner) is completely the opposite of what I saw personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
