Cajun Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Loads of people at work and down the gym talking about him playing for England now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Too inexperienced to be considered for England yet. Needs to keep improving and banging in the goals for us. The call for England will come in time if that happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Loven11 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I got told at work from a Liverpool fan that he was shit after the Man U game, so hope he continues to prove him wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Absolutely delighted that he's making progress as a striker and proving me wrong. Had massive doubts about him for the first half of last season (think it was the Doncaster match where he missed 3 really good chances?) but he seemed to put it together from Xmas onwards. He's getting better and better and I couldn't be happier about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leazes1986 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I am chuffed for him he's really living the dream. Its mad thinking back a couple of year ago though when he came on the odd time he never really looked like even offering anything like he's showing now. He didn't show many glimpses in the odd cameo he had. I always thought he might have something a bit different to offer with his height but most people would have said he wouldn't make it before last season. I remember him coming on in one game in particular and he got a huge amount of stick on here afterwards. I think it was against Man City at home. I was surprised with the people who were calling him shit at the start of last season though, he impressed me despite his lack of goals. He has came on massively now though and it looks like we might have a genuine quality Premiership striker in the making if he keeps on improving. Its actually a really nice surprise that we might have actually managed to bring a good quality striker through the ranks for the first time in god knows how many years. Lets hope he keeps improving and doesn't start believing the hype yet because the papers I have read the last couple of days are really talking him up now like and the new number 9 superstar of tyneside.

James Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 He's gone from a chav kid to some kind of long haired icon in less than a year. Didn't see the Villa game as was on holiday, but against Man United, he was strong, powerful, hardworking and confident, and I knew that if he carried it on he'd have no problems as he proved last season he can put the ball away. Another example of why we shouldn't write off any player of that age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

binnsy Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 will have to wait a bit longer for the England call up, he's been picked for the Under 21's again. Wilshere has been dropped back into the U21's but Gibbs hasn't so looks like he will keep his place in the senior squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Curls Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Always said the overhyped defenders in the premier league wouldn't know how to handle a lad this big and rough, I hope he flattens John Terry!!!!. Still scared to big him up when talking about him though, exceptional performance on Sunday yes but that was one game and an upset was always on the cards with the fans being pissed off and probably half the players thinking this would be the day to redeem some of that pride we lost going down at vp that day. Hope Andy keeps proving everyone wrong an gives us someone to aspire to and rely on like many of our ex number 9's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
