Skeletor Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 The case against the JFK management team mounts. Was there a case for it? Did the contract extension appear out of thin air? Nah just out of hot air...from Kinnears arse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocksammy Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Mark Viduka committed to Premier League future at Newcastle United By Liam FitzGibbon May 13, 2009 Mark Viduka has spoken for the first time of his desire to remain with Newcastle United beyond this Barclays Premier League season after gaining a new lease of life under Alan Shearer. After another largely frustrating, injury-riddled season, the former Australia captain has returned to the park and started to show his best form in recent weeks. His man-of-the-match performance in the 3-1 win over Middlesbrough has given Magpies fans hope he could be the man to save them from relegation this season. Viduka, who is off contract at season's end, looked certain to leave the club under former manager Joe Kinnear, possibly paving the way for a return to Australia to join the A-League. But the 33-year-old says he now wants to remain at St James' Park and has urged the club to make new manager Shearer's caretaker role a permanent one. "I would love to spend some more time at this club," Viduka said. "That's my personal thing. I would love to have good times here and with Alan Shearer as a boss, this club has a lot of potential. "I have been here for two years and we've had five managers. I would say to whoever is in charge, keep Alan for as long as he needs. "The fans love him, he is Newcastle through and through, he is a big personality, people respect him and the players respect him." Shearer has been strong in his support for Viduka since taking charge, both vocally and in team selections, preferring him in starting roles at times over strike partners Michael Owen and Obafemi Martins. It's the kind of support Viduka says he did not get from Kinnear even when was struggling with injury. "When I had problems with my Achilles, I worked hard to get back but Joe Kinnear didn't look like he wanted to use me," Viduka said. "When Alan Shearer came in, the first thing he said to me was, 'are you up for a fight?' and I am always up for a fight. I said 'definitely.' "I'm a massive fan of Alan's ... I admired him as a player we play the same position and when someone with his personality and what he has done in the game comes and says, 'I need you', it lifts you." While both Viduka and Shearer's futures are still unclear, Newcastle's first priority will be preserving their place in England's top flight. http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,,25473745-29437,00.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 If Shearer stays we should give him one year extention to his contract he worth it after yesterday night. I read somewhere that he needs surgery on his achilles which will keep him out for 9 months. If that's true it's the end of his career on Tyneside.

Dave Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 On reflection I think people are getting a little carried away with Monday night. We played pretty well and it was a vital win but let's not forget that most people were happy to see Viduka leave before that game. Fat useless waster on far too much money was the general opinion. One good match and we need to give him a new contract? Same goes for Lovenkrands btw. If we can somehow convince him to accept a pay as you play deal then fine, but I can't see that happening. In which case we need to move on. Lovenkrands is probably worth a year or two as a squad player but let's not pretend he's set the world alight here because he hasn't.

Ridman Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Martins, Viduka, Xisco, Lovenkrands, Carroll, Ranger will do it for me next season. I'd rather want us to spend money on the flank positions, wouldn't mind a new goalkeeper either and of course 1-2 new MCs would be canny... Assuming we'll want two players in each position with Cacapa, Barton, Geremi and Ameobi getting sold in the summer: Harper/Krul Beye/Raylor Bassong/Colo - Saylor/Edgar - Enrique/____ Gutierrez/___ - Nolan/Guthrie - Butt/Smith - Duff/____ Viduka/Xisco - Martins/Love We'll really need to do some shopping to fill in the holes, simply not acceptable that our only left winger also happens to be our backup left-back.

If we stay up, the team you fill above still coudln't cut it for a full season. We need at least 1-2 strikers. A player wide-right and a defensive CM. As well as signing up 3-6 MORE squad players in my opinion. Our squad is paper-thin still, people need to be reminded for some reason. I said it before and I'll say it again, we shoud have always been looking at solid Championship players age range of 18-30 to fill in any SQUAD positions and be able to provide competition. There are some really solid players I've seen in the Championship that have some pretty good passing and movement about them. We still need an overhaul my friends, don't forget that.

Aye, I just can't see us signing 8-10 players in the summer (even though Allardyce signed 9 players during his reign that was with Dyer and Parker getting sold for a combined ~13m). The players leaving this summer won't see us getting any money and I'll be surprised if we'll spend any more than 10m + sales. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 We need a lot of new players, but it's madness to think any club can sign 8-10 players in one summer, just won't happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
