Guest firetotheworks Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 similar with Lee Bowyer... There's been quite a gap in him finding that form though. There's just as many players who have went on to either fail to improve or get worse. Dyer, Robert, Bernard, Goma, Chopra, Owen, Jenas, Huntington, Beye.

Optimistic Nut Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Could pick a pretty decent first XI from ex-Newcastle players on form this season. GK - Given RB - Carr LB - N'Zogbia CB - Hughes CB - Bassong RM - Milner LM - Duff CM - Bowyer CM - Parker CF - Bellamy CF - Saha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 http://www.true-faith.co.uk/tf/features.nsf/0/F89337F14F34F8A08025769D003680BC?OpenDocument Plymouth Argyle- FAC 3rd Round Preview 2/Jan/10, Home Park, FAC, KO 3pm. I found it very difficult to believe but it did actually happen. Watching Match of the Day the other night I had to use the Sky+ rewind facility to not only make sure that James Milner’s corner beat the first man but made it into the box. Then later I noticed Damien Duff scoring for Fulham (again), N’Zogbia put in a decent shift for Wigan and Scott Parker is playing out of his skin for West Ham. Here’s some stats for you to chew on (all League stats): Milner has spent 3 seasons at Aston Villa (including one on loan). During that time he has, to date, set up 27 goals. In the three equivalent seasons spent here he created 12. He has now also scored 2 more goals for Villa than at Newcastle and done so in 8 less games. Duff has 4 assists and 4 goals for Fulham this season, last season for us he had 3 goals and no assists. Charlie has chalked up 4 goals in 30 odd appearances for Wigan. He scored 9 goals in 118 games for us. Parker has been the linchpin of the West Ham midfield for the last 3 seasons and received praise for displays in a bad team whilst Craig Bellamy is arguably one of the best strikers in the league right now. All these players improved when they left us and the major question is why? To my mind it’s a combination of 3 things – poor coaching/tactics, rushing players back from injury (see comments from Birmingham re Carr this week in the press) and the lack of a settled team/position. To my mind these are the three key reasons why we went down this season. It was an accumulation of these things over 3 years. Not all of this is Ashley’s fault a great deal of the blame must be placed firmly at the door of Shepherd with his banana republic dictator’s approach to club management and recruitment. Whilst we look odds on at the moment to be promoted from this league the installation of critical coaching and tactical foundations from the end of this season along with a manager (Hughton or otherwise) who has a clear remit to rebuild over at least 5 years is fundamental to growth in the Premiership. Otherwise, well you know what otherwise is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewellander Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 How are the players who left Newcastle in the January 2009 and Summer 2009 transfer windows doing at their new clubs? Shay Given - Manchester City Charles N'Zogbia - Wigan Athletic Michael Owen - Manchester United Mark Viduka - Retired? Obafemi Martins - Wolfsburg Sebastien Bassong - Tottenham Hotspur Habib Beye - Aston Villa Damien Duff - Fulham Xisco - Racing Santander (Loan) Now we're not in the Premiership I'm not following it closely but the people who seem to have done well are Given, Bassong and Duff (and possibly Owen). Am I wrong in thinking Martins and Beye are mainly being used as substitutes? I can't imagine that is what they were expecting. I didn't want to create a new thread for this, but it looks like Viduka has, in fact, called it quits on his career. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=740045&sec=global&cc=5901 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 His touch was someit else like. Truly talented guy. Loved how he could touch a ball and hold it up against the defender. Very good technique as well. Sadly never really came good for us (only in that run under KK). Personally, I would have liked to see him given another season for us in the CCC. If fit (big if) he would have stormed that league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're both different kinds of players though. Viduka obviously had more of a physical presence and in his prime was more than just a link up man. Bergkamp's technique is the best I've seen in the Premiership too. Can't think of anyone who could player that killer pass like Dennis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Berbatov, Sheringham, even someone like Ashton. I'd have Viduka and Bergkamp in that bracket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
