GM Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Interesting to hear Bob Cass banging on about the state of NUFC and pronouncing that NUFC are NOT "too big or too good a club to go down"...and then simultaneously exhonerating Freddie Shepherd from any blame and saying he couldn't understand the fans calling for Shepherd's resignation. Some other bloke (can't remember his name) said NUFC was the second biggest "poison chalice" in terms of football management - being England manager is the biggest apparently. But the killer comment came just before a commercial break when Bob Cass said "seriously, you just don't find GOOD players making moves in the January transfer window..."

SEMTEX Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Nemanja Vidic went to Man Utd last January, he'd be good enough for me tbh. Never mind Evra, Agger... and Theo Walcott. Although i'm not sure how effective Walcott would be at improving our defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I know - it just seemed like THE most asinine comment any football pundit has ever made! How about Tino Asprilla? Aye, he was signed mid-season and yes Mr Cass - he was absolutely shocking. :roll: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 That whole show is just fkn tosh, a load of journo's arguing with Mr Chin, the only time I watch it is if I am a bit early turning it over for Goals on Sunday. Most of the time they just love to put us down while they speculate over total bollcoks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not they don't move in january full stop Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 The team isn't to good to go down but with the size of our club (transfers,salaries) we should be nowhere near the foot of the table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest geordieracer Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 upson was knowhere the player he is now, he was just a young defender who couldn't break into the team and dugarry was reaching the end of his career Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Jermaine Defoe moved to Spurs in Jan. when they where struggling. Their are a few championship/foreign players who would do a good job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest geordieracer Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 he came from norwich.. bridge plays for the biggest team in europe.. upson could move to newcastle and go straight back down to the fizzy pop league, so he would surely wait till the end of the season of course theres been good players move in january but not many big names, especially to a team whos struggling etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rudeboy Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Edgar Davids to Barcelona. Barcelona were struggling at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest geordieracer Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 barcelona will always attract players, as ive already said of course good players will move, theres not a rule against it. My point is basically that if we are in this position in january, players of bridge's clalibre won't join us, especially when they are at bigger clubs or have options to move to clubs with more ambition, which we are hardly showing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Also Reyes to Arsenal. I don't think us being near the bottom would affect players coming in, the only one's who won't want to come are the top players who we won't be going after anyway, players can come here on the condition that if we're relegated we won't stand in their way if another club wants to sign them, I'm sure most would take that.

Guest geordieracer Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 or they could just wait till the end of the season and join if we stay up? saves them a lot of hassle and a relegation on there track record Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
