sempuki Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Wants to come back! FIGHTING TALK GLENN Roeder today likened the freak injury which robbed him of Kieron Dyer to "being hit by a thunderbolt". But Roeder has vowed Newcastle United will "come out fighting" against Charlton Athletic tonight, as they look to turn their league campaign around. Dyer – who made a midweek comeback against Portsmouth – had been set for his first Premiership appearance in more than six months after overcoming his long-term hamstring problems. But Dyer's eye was caught by a pole while he was doing a shuttle run yesterday morning, and he now faces a frustrating few weeks on the sidelines. Roeder said: "Everyone at the training ground yesterday was absolutely gutted at what happened to Kieron. "It was like being hit with a thunderbolt, but it's no good being down about it. "If the players see myself and the rest of the coaches being affected by something like this, then it has an adverse effect on them. "There are two things you can do in situations like this. You can curl up and die or come out punching and fighting. "When the going gets tough, the tough get going and that's what everyone from the chairman down to the tea lady will be doing." Roeder revealed Dyer will have to sit out training for the next two weeks, ruling him out of some crucial games, including next week's UEFA Cup tie away to Palermo. He added: "Kieron took a knock to his left eye in what can only be described as a freak accident. "We immediately took him to see a specialist and his advice was that he needs to rest and not to take part in any contact training for at least two weeks." Meanwhile, controversial winger Laurent Robert has told of his desire to return to Newcastle. Robert left the club last year after falling out with Graeme Souness, and is currently playing for La Liga side Levante. But he has not given up hope of a return to Tyneside. He said: "When I think of my time at Newcastle, I can think of only one word – fantastic. "I really loved my time there as I enjoyed English football and I'd love to come back if Mr Shepherd would have me. "There was only one reason why I left Newcastle and that was Graeme Souness." Robert would be available in January, but he will not get his wish of an emotional return. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 'If Mr Shepherd will have me' - umm.... doesn't the manager make those kind of decisions? Nice to know that the tea lady is rising to the challenge as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest napalm_squirrel Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Always a good move for a club thats "moving forward" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Legend tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howaythelads Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Always a good move for a club thats "moving forward" It's too late for Robert, but there is nothing wrong with bringing any player back who will improve the team. Do you think Beardsley only had one spell at the club, or something? McDermott? Wouldn't you take Bellamy back right now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mags Serbia Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Who's next? Asprilla? Next is Barton or Beresford or Hamilton or Maric or Acuna or Robinson or... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 When he was top of his game at Newcastle, he was amazing. If he gave 100% in every game, I'd have him back in a flash. Too bad he rarely does give 100% Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwillie Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Bring back Acuna! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I really liked Acuna. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howaythelads Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Come to think of it, I'd take Robert back in Jan and use him up front, he'd be more effective than the rest of our strikers and would sweat no less than the likes of Ameobi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that little no neck knob end came back it would be the worst thing possible. Canny player maybe but defo dont want bellmay back or Robert both c0cks!

Toon_Crazy Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Not going to happen Laurent, a part of me would be happy but once I see him play I'd quickly be saddened that he's back draining club finances again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 No thanks. Was one of his biggest fans here, but we signed him at his best, he left at his worst (you just have to see how quickly Pompey, Benfica & now Levante were to drop him). Although as HTL says, would probably still be a better striker than what we've got. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Although it would be nostalgic for the Kingston Park-goers to see Bernard & Robert from Jan to May in the Reserves together while Bernard continues to get match-fit in time for the 2009-10 season.
