Nobody Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Can anyone name any Geordie players who have made the first team at other clubs in the last 10 years who have had nothing to do with us?

Spider Jerusalem Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Does anyone have any idea how much the academy costs us per year, as Peter Ramage, Steven Taylor and Shola as well as supplying lower league teams free transfers is looking like a bit costly.

Guest johnson293 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I mean, how the f*** Shearer slipped through the net I'll never f***ing know. The story goes that on his trials at Newcastle, we played him in goal, didn't we?? Hence he went to Southampton, and the rest is history! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 michael bridges in his first year at leeds looked like the natural heir to teddy sheringham, scoring 19 league goals and being a proper creative force. pity it ballsed up for him fitness wise. martin taylor would be another at places like blackburn and birmingham, he's from ashington Fun Fact: My old GSCE PE teacher was Martin Taylor's best man at his wedding. My mate is his cousin. So kiss my face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest north shields lad Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 In the last 20 years i think a geordie born team would do better than most other places round britain gazza, beardsly, carrick, shearer, waddle, would be our main starts backed up by others. I suppose London could put a good team together but thats huge. Maybe a scouse team would have Rooney, fowler, gerrard, mcmanaman, carragher, michael ball, dave watson. Think ours does it on class and skill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 richard offiong (hamilton) calvin zola makongo (crewe) There are quite a few x-juniors bobing about. Could do with Dickie Offiong tapping up James McCarthy from the Accie's for us. Calvin was brilliant & at one point was Paul Scholes favorite player. I cant remember the full details but people at SJP lost faith in him after some test to validate his age made him older than what he was saying & registered for.

robbo_11 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Walker started today for Middlesbrough against Sunderland thus making his first team start for them. No idea how he played though, but with Digard picking up an injury he could feature in the next few games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macphisto Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Funny thing I find about young players is the sheer lack of quality North of the M62. After Shearer I can't think of one world class player to have come through at any club who was born North of the M62. Only player I can think of that it would apply to is Woodgate if he had of been fit during his career. Previous to the last 15 years, I don't think I'm wrong to use world class to describe, Dalglish, Souness, Bryan Robson, Waddle, Beardsley, Gazza and Shearer During this time there's been a good few players who have come through in the North West area who you could class as world class such as Rooney, Gerrard, Scholes and Owen (when he first came on the scene!). Hopefully it's all cyclical and we'll have some good youngsters come through soon! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not world class but Michael Carrick isn't a bad player, regular for the best team in Europe but there certainly isn't many. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
