Guest Heneage Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 If he doesn't reinvent the wheel in his first few games he might get slated. Oh well, I still love you Petey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 As long as he's being signed on as a striker, then it'll be good news. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 As long as he's being signed on as a striker, then it'll be good news. Would you rather have Geremi playing on the left wing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidAK Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I thought he wanted to come here before because it's near Scotland, so why's that changed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Our long ball system obviously didn't suit Geremi tonight, but he can do a good job, certainly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Isn't there a new kid/expected baby via a Scottish mum, hence a desire to stay close to Scotland? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samag Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 from the Birminham Mail Peter Lovenkrands was today set to rejoin Newcastle United after they offered him a contract to head off Blues interest. The Danish winger trained with Blues at Wast Hills yesterday with a view to a deal, similar to the Stephen Carr scenario last season. However, Alex McLeish couldn’t provide any guarantees to his former Rangers attacker, who became a free agent after his release by Newcastle following their Premier League relegation. But Lovenkrands has now been given the security he craved by Newcastle and McLeish wasn’t in a position to match their offer. Lovenkrands wasn’t prepared to wait another five weeks or so for Carson Yeung and his group to take charge, when McLeish would have had the resources - and been able to judge form and fitness - to act decisively. He said: “Peter was a player we got to look at but because of our financial situation I couldn’t offer him a contract, we’re spent in terms of the budget. “But it was my intention to let him train with us for a few weeks. I think he’s a bit short of fitness. Then we would have seen what had happened. “Once the takeover had gone through successfully - or even if it hadn’t - Peter might have showed up so well that I could have persuaded the club to have taken him on. But he had an offer from Newcastle on the table.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 doesn't sound like it. But good news overall, very good news. We're crying and screaming and banging head of the wall for a striker that can get in behind the defenders and he's still very quick over 10 yards with decent positional awareness. That should make all the difference with accomplished passers like Barton and Guthrie behind him. In the championship that sort of link up will produce goals.

oldtype Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Lovenkrands in = promotion. out of sheer curiosity, why? Because he's exactly the kind of player we need and I think he has the ability to tear the Championship a new one. You weren't expecting me to give you an ironclad 100% proof, were you?

Ronaldo Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 no, I basically agree that he'll do very well. But to imply he's the difference between promotion and another year in the championship is a litte niave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rosstoon Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hes been training with Rangers to keep fit. He will be key and can play either left right or Cf. Also I am hearing that we are to sign 4 loan players. All from Premier league clubs + CH is trying to Ashley to part with 3m to put bids in for Beckford and Vaughan.

But to imply he's the difference between promotion and another year in the championship is a litte niave. I don't think it is. Injuries permitting, we're basically one pacy striker away from having a nearly perfect XI for this division. (Yes, in an ideal world we'd pick up a winger and a CB as well, but still) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 no, I basically agree that he'll do very well. But to imply he's the difference between promotion and another year in the championship is a litte niave. I think he can be. He did improve our team when he played up front last season and scored in 1 in 4 games, generally against the West Broms and the Boros. He offers the main improvement the team seeks right now, and we are already favourites to win this division. Keep him fit and Shola fit and our strikers will score more goals than any other strikeforce in the league, not to forget the goals we are getting from midfield. We'll have the best attack in the league and the best defence in the league making us the best team in the league if we keep players fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nordstrom Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 DANISH ace Peter Lovenkrands was set to return to Newcastle United this morning. The Chronicle revealed that United had offered the ex-Rangers man a deal back on August 18 and after mulling over a series of offers elsewhere, Lovenkrands will return to St James's Park to help ease the injury situation in attack with Shola Ameobi and Andy Carroll both out.

TRon Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Makes the Xisco loan a lot more palatable. Excellent signing and I think he'll be a key player for us this season, his pace will bring us a few extra options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
