juniatmoko Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 mido is good target man... but the main issues is always his fitness. seems also easy to get fat like viduka. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Even when Mido is struggling with his weight he is still infinitely more mobile than Viduka and he still manages to cause a lot of problems. Very talented player. If Kinnear could rev him up a bit he would be a huge asset. The thing about Mido though is he is at his best when he is a fixture in the first team and he knows he is playing week in week out, otherwise he won't be bothered. So ... Owen out maybe?

Dr Venkman Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 mido this mido that, not arsed really. the bottom line is that if smith's leaving i'm over the fucking moon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugoinufc Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 mido has the talent....but i think he has problems with his head.......attitude problems and injury prone also. Like someone said earlier....he has to play every week to be good, like he needs a manager who can handle him and motivate him! i think he would become a problem over time and thats why i would prefer to sell smith in a cash deal and not a swap deal. i agree, he could give us a boost over short time....but at the end of the day i dont believe he would make it here any different than ameobi, xisco or caroll. 80% sure we will regret signing him! think of how we treated him in the past.... i guess 2 mill and mido for smith would be alright Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrette Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Looks a cracking player. Is he just left sided or central as well? He starts on the wings but floats inside fairly often from what I know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We made the whole thing up, but lets save some face. Bloody typical though, we will probably sell Barton and Geremi and have Smith and Ferguson "marshalling" the midfield.

KaKa Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 A part of me can't help but want to see all these players sold just to see who is brought in then, as surely if the likes of Barton are sold then surely players will be coming in. Maybe when Ashley re-committed to the club he meant he would go aboiut doing exactly what he intended to do over the summer and transform the team into one with up and coming youngsters. I am currently fascinated with what is going on. Just hoping it doesn't end in tears. At least if it ends up with Kinnear having to be replaced no one will be crying about it.

I wouldn't say I'm "fascinated", I'd go along with "trembling with nerves" and "expecting the worst". We're not even being involved in rumours with players I'd like to see here.

Decky Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I dont give a fuck tbh, whats the point. If i hope we do well in this window, the likely hood is we sign fuck all and my hero Shay Given leaves us and im devastated. So fuck it, im just looking at the games at the moment.

toontownman Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Poyet is also available for nowt now by the way Its only a matter of time, if we manage to pull off a couple of decent signings this window and ashley gets a few fans back on side Poyet might just sneak unto the coaching staff. We need a couple of coaches anyway, madness we havent got anyone in already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like I just can't even begin to imagine what could be going on behind the scenes and I am really looking forward to seeing what state we will be in come the 2nd of Feb. Finally we will know for sure what to make of Mr. Ashley and his pals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I think we are just a ticking time bomb tbh, and im not sure if it will have anything to do with Ashley as far as January is concerned. The money might be there, but who would come here both under Joe Kinnear and in this state? Seems we are destined for doom and 2nd February might just be the date its drilled into the brains of those who currently doubt it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, next year if we lose Given. Hardly think we're destined for relegation for goodness sake. Villa looked like they were destined to be a big club to face relegated only a few years ago. Football isn't static. Players change, managers change, etc. For all we know in five years, Newcastle could be preparing for their next Premier league fixture at Ibrox against Rangers or at the Vicente Calderon against Atletico fro our next Europe second divison fixture.

I really thought it was the end of that after we drew at Old Trafford on the first day of the season. Unfortunately, events since then have systematically crushed any sense of hope out of my bones.

I really thought it was the end of that after we drew at Old Trafford on the first day of the season. Unfortunately, events since then have systematically crushed any sense of hope out of my bones. Things can easily go either way. It wont take much to see us rocket back up the league to somewhere respectable. A decent manager in the summer could see our better players stay with some quality additions we would be back on track. Of course it could go the other way, considering the way results have conspired against us when we have picked up points, a couple of losses and we are back in the shit and panic sets in. More than likely it will sit somewhere in the middle with us finishing just below midtable, Kinnear staying on, most of the better players leaving but some decent investment over the summer with a moderately improved finish the year after. Slow progress. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swissmag Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 He had a good start to the season with Boro, I'd like to see him here although I do think Smith should be given a chance up front in front of Ameobi and Caroll WTF? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
