Does it bother you that we don't have many local players in the squad? and can foreigners "get it"?

 

For me Taylor brings a lot more to the team than just being a good defender, he's always vocal and cheering the lads on - he really cares about it. Id like to think that some of the foreign players can come in and care as much but part of me can't stop thinking they all just treat it as a job.

 

Some foreign players in the past certainly fell into the category but what about the current players?

 

I say foreigners but really anyone that isn't from here - I mean what difference is it if they're from london or lille in terms of caring about newcastle

I was just typing a post about this but deleted it :aww: In the Keegan days I'd often prefer a limited Geordie player who'd die for the cause over a talented player who I couldn't really connect with but it's a completely different landscape now. 

 

I'll always have a soft spot for players like Taylor because if I played for Newcastle I'd be doing the cheerleader stuff too.

Shola. Cabaye. Enuf said.

 

 

howay sholas a geordie - such a wealth of emoticons here not sure which fits best for that statement.....

 

Cabaye was who I had in mine tbh when I was thinking about current players, I'd like to think he'll be here a long time and become part of the history

 

 

don't care where they come from tbh aslong as they care as much as taylor im happy. One of my biggest fears is being bought my a multibillionaire arab russian type and having players that could be playing for dagenham and fokn redbridge as far as theyre concerned - although I may change my tune if we're winning stuff left right and centre who knows

My point is that it doesn't matter where they are from. We have Shola, a local lad who can be vocal at times whining at players, referees yet he doesn't put his words into action. Then you see the contrast from Cabaye who has been a leader and a huge influence in the last few matches. Sissoko, Gouffran have been giving their best too even if they have barely smelled the Geordie air. As long as the foreign lads make an effort in integrating into the team, it doesn't really matter where they are Geordie or English.

The win moved Newcastle into 12th place, just three points from the top half of the table and a comfortable eight points clear of the drop zone.

 

Journalists. :yao:
