Pilko Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Kevin Gallacher is quite an apt comparison, actually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WashyGeordie Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I reckon the club would rather keep him till the end of the season instead of letting him leave for peanuts now. While Ba's away with Cisse, I can imagine Pardew wants to keep his forward options open. Besides Shola, Best and Lovenkrands, I can't think of anyone fit in the first team who we can call on if desperate striker-wise. Rather Lovenkrands on the bench during ACoN than another Shefki Kuqi style signing. Jesus. Would rather have peanuts than no peanuts in the summer. If we were to sell him now, and Prior's good enough, I think we should give him a contract 'til the summer atleast and let Loven go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I'd hold him in a higher regard than Kevin Gallagher, like. Lovenkrands' scoring record is better than 1 in 2 for us and he was integral to our promotion campaign. Can understand the comparison, though - people just don't wanna like him!

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Was a big goalscoring threat at home in the Championship and gave his all last year, even managing a few goals. Good bloke, hopefully he moves on and gets some football near the end of his career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 He should be seen in the same light as a player like Kevin Gallagher. Acknowledge that he played for us and contributed and ruffled no feathers and just an all round sound guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ToonZA Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I have no problem seeing Loven play during this period. FFS how can anyone be less effective than Shola has been? Loven runs, chases things down and this may force defenders into errors that we can benefit from. If Shola plays ahead of him in the next game then Pardew needs his head looked at.

alexf Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Best and Loven is worth a run out. Best has proved he can hold up the ball well and win flick on's so he can play the "shola role" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Guess it can't hurt to start Lovenkrands given Shola's recent shitness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will admit he is much better at getting sent off though Besides, we cannot play him and risk an injury thereby ruling him out of his dream move to QPR Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 We've had an enquiry for him, according to the Pardosaurus: ALAN PARDEW says he won't "go back" for Adrian Mariappa if he fails to land his defensive target today. The Watford centre-back is believed to have been subject of a fourth bid by United. And Pardew told Chroniclelive: "On the front of Watford, we've made a last offer to them, and we won't go back. "We'll see where that goes "I'm kind of 50 per cent hopeful he'll arrive. "If he doesn't, no one else will come in, and we'll go with what we've got." And Pardew is hoping that means none of his bigger guns departing Tyneside. He said: "I'm hoping, with all the big players we've got, that we'll have nothing to worry about. "There might be a couple of little ones - it depends on the phone calls." United have had three bids for James Tavernier, Peter Lovenkrands and James Perch. Pardew said: "There's a shout for Tav. "There's been an enquiry about Lovenkrands, and there's also been an enquiry about Perch. "No other bids for anybody else." http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2012/01/31/pardew-staying-cool-in-final-few-hours-of-transfer-window-72703-30236927/#ixzz1l3IzApmJ Wonder if we'll be tempted to let him go, given the imminent return of the Dembii? I'm assuming it'll be a loan with a view to a permanent contract when his expires in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Really undecided if I want him to leave. He's going to be fifth choice by the weekend but I'd really like to see him on the bench tomorrow, worried that if Shola or Best picked up a knock we'd have no strikers on the bench to replace them. Prefer him to Shola as well of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
