Kimbo Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 To think that 14 months ago our defense was Carr - Bramble - Taylor - Babayaro and tomorrow it might be Beye - Faye - Coloccini - Enrique And yet we'll still get the leaky defence clichés in the press. We'll still let in alot of goals if we don't bring in a DM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkhead Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I really hope it is Coloccini and Faye; somehow doubt it though. why? i think it's the most logical thing ever? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 'Geordie lad who loves the club' like Steven Taylor sadly isn't going to pushed out of the team for a pairing of those two. Unfortunately, Taylor is here to stay.

Shak Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 It'll be a good battle between Taylor and Faye to see who partners Sideshow Fab. Faye is the better defender right now, but he's hardly anything special so Taylor will have every chance as well, given that he's still young and a local lad. Fairly funny that everyone has turned so much against Taylor, you'd swear the guy was the biggest disaster ever and he absolutely hated the club the way some people are going on. Fairly sure he'll never be the really top class CB I had hopes for him becoming when he first came on the scene, but there's still no reason he can't become a good, solid defender in time. Players can improve, you know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Don't forget Enrique is hapless though. I'm "furious" with hapless Enrique. Barton Out! Wise Out! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatwax Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 They were agreed ages ago I think. Then Depor upped the bid and it all kicked off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Yeah, his agent said something like he has been offed a dream contract or the contract of his life, the only hold up was the fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredbob Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 So for once it's our defence which looks alright, not our midfield. Said the same thing last year...still very concerned with midfield as i was last year as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 So for once it's our defence which looks alright, not our midfield. Well yeah. But the defense has been made to look even worse by the shit midfield. Our inability to keep the ball puts insane pressure on the defenders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Parka Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 So for once it's our defence which looks alright, not our midfield. Well yeah. But the defense has been made to look even worse by the s*** midfield. Our inability to keep the ball puts insane pressure on the defenders. Which has probably made competent defenders look shit in the past. We need a CM who can keep hold of it and create, really, really, badly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Lets hope buying defenders is over now, the only thing i think we really need there is a back up left back and if we dont get one its not the end of the world. We desperately need some creativity in the CM position and a new forward, fingers crossed KK will sort us out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToonArmy Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Newcastle closing in on Coloccini deal However, in his post-match interview, Kevin Keegan said: “It’s ongoing. I’m hopeful, but it’s not a done deal yet. “He’s played for Argentina – and not many bad players play for Argentina.” Did Basedas (sp?) aka the Steering Wheel ever get a game for the Argetina National side? 22 full caps and i think that doesnt include the games he played for Argentina in the Olympics in 96 (dont count I believe) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Depor_Fan Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Hey Newcastle Fans, Just wanted to congratulate you on your imminent signing of our defender Coloccini.It's been a hard fought battle, but in the end we couldn't offer him what you could. His agent put a lot of pressure on this transfer, in the process saying some very unecessary things. Believe me when I say that he is a WORLD CLASS defender and that this should be considered as a big coup for your club. I would say you got him on the cheap. Colo will need time to adjust to the english league so don't expect greatness straight away, but eventually you will see the best of him. I think Keegan will give him the time and support for this. Best of luck for the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football players are after more money however possible. Coloccini is good enough to play for very big teams, so well done for getting him. I follow his progress next season at Newcastle.
