Kinnear all but withdraws his interest in Stephen Carr

[midds]

What the fuck is Kinnear thinking? 

[Guest Gallowgate Mag]

What the f*** is Kinnear thinking? 

 

Just a punt, but:

 

That, thanks to our sooper dooper scouting system we've been left with only two recognised full backs in the whole squad, and we need emergency back up. He's looked on the freebie list and Carr is the only choice.

 

 

 

[Dr. Nguyen Van Falk]

Rather play with 10 men...

[ElDiablo]

Fuck about. Geremi and Taylor can play there ffs, don't need this cum bucket back.

[Thespence]

Shame Keegan turned down Zayatte as he looked solid for Hull against Arsenal on Saturday, I'm sure he had a valid reason for turning him down.

 

don`t think we turned him down? We were  just too busy fannying about deciding whether to sign him or not before Hull nipped into sign him with a concrete offer

 

We had him here for the day training and Keegan said he'd have a word with Wise and Jimenez and let them know what he thinks, 2 days later he's gone down to Hull to sign for them on loan.

 

If Keegan wanted him he'd of signed him as far as I'm concerned, simple as that

 

Keegan wasn't doing the transfers, I thought we all knew that. Keegan would of signed Owen on long term deal if he had that sort of power.

Maybe it is? But we'd be bringing back a player who is so poor he's currently unemployed.

 

He's not playing football for a reason and bringing him back is madness however you look at it.

[toontownman]

At least he can cover the pitch, we could do with the protection in the stands, its due to rain on sunday.

[Thespence]

I liked what Joe said about CB's playing in the full back positions, it is just most of us have seen Carr play for a few years now.

[Guest nyscooby]

Can we not just have one of those card board cut outs of a policeman, like what you get in shops to scare shoplifters into going straight???

 

A lump of cardboard would be better at defending the right side than Carr.

 

Is it against FA rules to build a few road hump style mounds on the pitch, just as a temporary measure?? i doubt its in the rule book.

 

That slow the opposition down in the absence of player.

 

We could even use a old red telephone box for keeper when Given jumps ship......

 

Any inanimate objects really.

[Guest nyscooby]

Next Kinear will be saying Greggs gave him an extra pasty in his bag!!! and he'll be off

Nice to see Joe is also boycotting the clubs grub

So why say that he'll tell Wise and Jimenez what he thinks about signing him up after him training with us, similar to Bassong?

 

 

[Guest Petay]

This would make Joe even more popular than the fact he's vaguely connected with Wise.

Keegan made it quite clear that re-signing Owen was totally down to Mort to sort out. He made these comments before the Mackem derby in April.

He may well of said sign him, he may well of said he is poop. TJ may have not come up with good enough numbers for Zayatte. Wise may have thought he is poop. Hull may have offered him a longer deal or more cash. Who knows? I know we live in blame culture & in your world Keegan is to blame & others will blame Wise & crew. On this one for me it was a trialist who didn't sign on loan ffs, hardly the major error, these things happen.

 

From what Phil Brown says ""It was interesting that we could compete with clubs like Everton and Newcastle, that's great news for us.". It sounds like we (& Everton) were beaten on £££'s but I think that is just bravado talk from Phil.

 

[Tsunami]

Wow, double wow, treble wow.

 

That this has even been mentioned gives an idea of the mess we made in the summer. Why wasn't Wise sacked and why was he allowed to do a job that wasn't his to do?

So Wise was at training with Keegan to look at the player was he?

 

Both him and Bassong were brought in for a trial with the final decision being left to keegan on what he thought of him after that trial, the fact he's gone and joined someone else a few days after says to me Keegan wasn't interested, while we're left with Edgar covering at right back.

 

Still, if he comes back then I expect all of the positions we need filling to be done in January since Wise is to blame for not getting them filled this Summer, that and owen signed to a new contract.

 

[ChezGiven]

We need LBW to come in here and do an impression of Janice off Friends.

I doubt it but it is not the only factor in not getting player in is it.

 

You see miss the point, I am not blaming Wise or TJ or Keegan for this, Brown says Hull competed with Newcastle & Everton for his signing & they got him on loan for a season. We lost getting a loan signing in, Hull may be paying a canny whack in loan fee for all we know. As club we may not of fancied paying that for guy who would be a benchwarmer if (I KNOW) others are fit.

 

I dont blame Wise for the Owen farce, that is TJ gig & I guess with the numbers involved you got to think Ashley would be in the mix as well.

 

[Mowen]

We need LBW to come in here and do an impression of Janice off Friends.

 

I'd rather put money towards that happening than a new server.

[Lenny]

Doesn't look like he's going to bother with him now.

[ChrisMcQuillan]

Kinnear went on to confirm that the club are unlikely to pursue their previous interest in bringing full-back Stephen Carr back to the club.

 

He added: "It would have been for very short-term. But now we have the full-backs back, I don't think there will be any more interest.

 

"Jose Enrique is back now, and that will take one of the full-back positions. Habib Beye will train tomorrow."

hopefully the saga doesn`t continue until Jan!

 

Good news on the Steven Carr front too

Kinnear draws up list of players for January

 

JOE KINNEAR has revealed that he is preparing a "hit list" of players – just in case he is still manager of Newcastle United when the transfer window opens again in the new year.

 

The interim manager takes United to Goodison Park to face Everton on Sunday, armed with a plan to end a run of seven years without any success in the blue half of Merseyside.

 

And Kinnear is fully aware that United then have a 15-day break before Manchester City come to St James’s Park on October 20, because of another round of World Cup qualifiers.

 

He told me today: "I will be taking in as many of those international matches as I can, so that I will have a hit list of players if I am still here in January.

 

"I have been told I am here until the club is sold and, while our managing director Derek Llambias has informed me there are eight interested parties, there is nothing definite.

 

"Obviously if the club is sold I am here for the short term, but if it is longer I have to be prepared – and I will be."

 

As revealed in the Chronicle last night, Kinnear has been scouring UEFA’s list of players who are out of contract, but he is not holding his breath.

 

In fact, the 61-year-old former Republic of Ireland international joked: "Some of them are older than me."

 

Meanwhile, to be fair to Llambias, he has had two working dinners with Kinnear on Tuesday and Wednesday nights in a bid to put the interim manager in the picture, and this has been passed on to the players

 

Kinnear added: "I have had a long chat with Michael Owen and he told me that one of the problems with the players has been that they have been kept in the dark as to what is happening.

 

"Now, after talking at length to Derek Llambias, I have been able to have a clear-the-air talk with Michael in his role as skipper, and this has been passed on to the rest of the players.

 

"They are now up to date with what is going on and they are a lot happier."

 

Kinnear revealed today that is he is now unlikely to re-sign former United full-back Stephen Carr, who is still currently without a club.

Good news, but it's a disgrace it's got this far.

Would it have been so hard for Llambias and Owen to organise a meeting like or Hughton, Wise et al. Ridiculous but well done to Joe for sorting it. Have to say I've been impressed with everything he has said/done so far.
