Karjala Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Best won't be good enough for the Prem, piss poor signing. Gonna need 2 decent striker signings in the summer to give us a chance of survival, but with Carroll the main man, Best recently signed, Shola being shite, i can't see us selling any of those 3.

TRon Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 The Best deal is a good example of why it is sometimes a good idea to give one of our own youngsters an early chance rather than spend good money on players of questionable pedigree. Carroll and Ranger can both claim to have made far bigger impact in the games they've played, and I am pretty sure that Kadar is another one who will prove better quality than any lo0w cost central defender with more experience. Joe Hart was loaned out to Birmingham and he's been a massive success, at City he wouldn't have got a look in a year ago, now there are pundits questioning whether he should be challenging Given for the no 1 jersey next season ( ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Best has not scored in 13 appearances since signing from Coventry in January. His form has not been good enough to persuade anyone he is capable of making the step up to the Premier League. The Republic of Ireland international cost £1.5m at the start of the year, but Newcastle will accept less than that if a Championship club is willing to take the striker off their hands before the start of next season. http://www.journallive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2010/05/05/pancrate-and-hall-face-the-magpies-exit-door-61634-26378258/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i'll nail my colours to the mast now...i don't think ranger has got what it takes to make it beyond championship level) edit...is that the "wouldn't have been given a chance " joe hart who played nearly 50 times for man city till they signed given ?

Ronaldo Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Bit of a shame for Hall but in fairness he's in no way, shape or form a top level defender. That said, he's looked as good as Williamson when on the pitch imo. I'd imagine Carroll, Shola and Lovenkrands have probably shown him up in training though.

Anyway, back on topic, Best is fucking shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 The lad is having a half decent pre-season. His style of play still reminds me of Ranger though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Just seen it on SSN now and he did, aye. At the time though, lots of people around me said "did he shite touch it" and it certainly looked that way. It was a glancing header. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 He was better than Shola, and did more (even without the goal) in a far shorter period of time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Maybe we could give him a chance to see what he can do now he has had a chance to settle and getting a pre-season with us? Let's face it, he has already exceeded the massively low expectations anyone had of him for the pre-season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
