Village Idiot Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Whoever did Boro's scouting in Holland did a good job like. £15 million down the pan on two complete duds. I think they got stung by Emnes though and are unlucky with both. Alves was a gamble, a quick check of his Wiki shows he's scored 14 in 11 for his new team. Yeah, in the mighty league of Qatar. These free-scoring players in the Dutch league feel so random. For every Van Nistelrooy or Van Basten you get an Alfonso Alves or your namesake.

ponsaelius Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Whoever did Boro's scouting in Holland did a good job like. £15 million down the pan on two complete duds. I think they got stung by Emnes though and are unlucky with both. Alves was a gamble, a quick check of his Wiki shows he's scored 14 in 11 for his new team. Emnes had played at all Dutch national levels, so on paper you'd think a good investment, if not a bit pricey. Much like Didier Digard tbh. Aye looking at Alves' Wiki, looks like the original team he joined didn't think he was up to much (3 in 15) and now they've loaned him out to a team doing worse in the league and he's scored 14 in 11. Gutter. At the end of the day though they were both risks that flopped badly, so whoever did the scouting/negotiating should get flak for it. Apparently they got £7 million back for Alves though, so that's not too bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Off work next week so I will trundle on up to Darsley to watch the 2nd string play the Boro at 2pm. Would imagine there will be a good splattering of 1st teamers watching the game with this kick off time. I'm off work this week too, but didn't even know the game was on, as i've been ill all weekend. I didn't even have the energy to log on to my PC. The times i've stood freezing, watching the reserves and youth teams. It would have been nice to watch on such a glorious day, despite the result. They've got another game on Wednesday although that one is back to a normal 7pm ko. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Enforcer Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Just seen the highlights of the first leg and looks like we were by far the more likely to win. Hopefully we keep that up on Friday then. Looking forward to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeloEmre Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 38min - NEWCASTLE GOAL (1-1): Frank Danquah floats a right-wing corner to the penalty spot where Callum Morris climbs to direct a powerful, downward header back into the bottom corner leaving keeper Sam Slocombe no chance. 20min - SCUNTHORPE GOAL (0-1): Michael O'Connor takes advantage of a high United defensive line to race clear from halfway. The midfielder carries into the area before cooly slotting low beyond a helpless Tim Krul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

binnsy Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 just got back from the match tonight, it was crap! we were really poor but looked to have nicked it when Baheng scored with about 5 mins to go only for the team to totally switch off and let there centre half head home unmarked from a corner. First time i've seen the young lad from the faroes and he looked to be neat and tidy but needs to get stronger, done great for the goal when slipping the ball through for Baheng. Only thing that tonight proved is that the likes of Tozer, Donaldson, Godsmark, Lough, Morris, McClaughlin and especially Danquah have no future at NUFC, none of them good enough to even play in the championship nevermind the premiership.
