Jayson Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Lovenkrands is premiership class Which is why nobody wanted him last summer. And why he managed 10 league goals for us minus penalties. He's an average championship player who's past his best. Nobody wanted him due to him barely getting played at shalke due to injuries & then being lumped in with our relegation side. Not really much chance to show any real ability for others to see. 14 in 16 games is impressive, doesnt matter if he had pens in there. He's good enough to score goals in the prem.

Ronaldo Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 13 league goals makes him good enough for the prem? Wake the fuck up. Players like Peter Lovenkrands are the reason we'll struggle next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Saw something this morning that Beardsley is being promoted to First Team coach is this true? Don't know if it's true, but I read that: Meanwhile, Newcastle today refused to comment on a report that Peter Beardsley is set to be offered a "senior" coaching role. http://www.jarrowandhebburngazette.com/latest-sport/Toon-boss-allays-injury-fears.6439751.jp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players like Peter Lovenkrands are the reason we'll struggle next season. I wouldn't say he's gash- Yes, he's not prem material, but he's a decent enough player to have around. Championship level player, with some redeeming qualities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Lovenkrands is premiership class Hes bottom 6 premiership class. I fail to see him getting into any team higher than that especially the way the play And? I'm not exactly expecting much higher than 15th like.

Players like Peter Lovenkrands are the reason we'll struggle next season. 13 league goals in how many minutes upfront. I dont put much trust into your assessment of players ability, thats just normal 3 of those have nowt to do with his position on the pitch, given the fact that they were penalties. As for the other 10, 8 of them came at home when we were absolutely dominating teams with Routledge and Jonas taking the piss. Do you really think this sounds like a player who'll be successful in the Premier League? You have your head firmly in the sand. Of course, you were saying Lovenkrands was prem class back when Nile Ranger and Leon Best were getting a game ahead of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I like McLoven, but his name in the same sentence as 'Premiership' conjures up images of his miss at Goodison Park. Just can't shake it off. I said at the time "that miss might send us down." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, you were saying Lovenkrands was prem class back when Nile Ranger and Leon Best were getting a game ahead of him. Nothing to do with our style of play away from home in comparison to at home then. He was part of the reason we dominated many of those teams at home & he scored important goals outside of that anyway. I was saying loven was prem class back when you were claiming Carroll couldnt head the ball well yeah. We'll just have to wait and see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Fabricated nonsense, I never said that. Playing with Peter Lovenkrands regularly next season will see us relegated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Lovenkrands will be useful to us next year if he's used sparingly. I think that much is obvious; he's neat and tidy but it's imperative that he's one of the squad-fillers next season. If we struggle in the transfer market - he could end up starting 10-15 games or more, and it's a situation we'd really be best avoiding. The same goes for Ameobi there. However, we do have some reasonable providers from the midfield (with potentially some additions?), and i think we can still create chances in this division. He isn't as good a finisher as people have coined him over the last 18 months, but Lovenkrands will always convert 1 out of 2/3 chances. He's intelligent in the box and finds the right positions. Still quick, too. So whilst i would expect him to score a couple - should he get regular game-time - i'd really rather we got someone else. With Carroll being the main man, the fourth striker in the pack really needs to be a new addition. It still remains the absolute priority imo. Best and Ranger are absolute non-entities.

ponsaelius Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Lovenkrands is an able squad player who may contribute something from the bench, but we should really be looking for a new striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Lovenkrands is a good fella and deserves a lot of praise for his professionalism last season. But it's certainly clouding a few judgements. Next season we won't be playing the cavalier, attacking football that we employed in February - April. Which is really the only circumstance under which he can get goals. We'll also be up against much better defenders, and the need for that extra physicality and ability to drop deep will increase tenfold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I disagree. I dunno if you misunderstood me, I don't want him replaced completely - just knocked down the pecking order as such. I'd definitely have him as either 3rd or 4th striker. I just think we need a new #2 striker. I'd still like to see him get gametime at home, but we need somebody more imposing for many of the games.
