Guest labrowski Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Matt Taylor is hardly going to come to us to warm the bench when he gets regular football at Bolton. He's been used as a sub the past few games hasn't he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Where did it go wrong for Hugo Almeida? Worth a punt in the premier league? Wouldn't go for him tbh. Gets hardly a full match for Werder at the moment. More used as an impact sub. Can't see them letting him go anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Where did it go wrong for Hugo Almeida? Worth a punt in the premier league? Did it ever go right, though? Never seemed to have much to his game apart from his height, and I don't think you need another tall guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delima Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 As a target man, I seriously do think that Andy Caroll will do a decent job on Premiership level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 As a target man, I seriously do think that Andy Caroll will do a decent job on Premiership level. He's a poor target man. His flick ins are aimless most of the time and he doesn't really have a very good awareness of those around him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 As a target man, I seriously do think that Andy Caroll will do a decent job on Premiership level. In the odd appearance, yes. But over a whole season can we really expect consistency from him at that level? Too much too soon I think. He should be a squad member next year and should definitely feature a fair bit, but shouldn't be relied upon to that extent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seemed to have much to his game apart from his height, and I don't think you need another tall guy. Always thought he looked decent at the under 21 level for Portugal, which is mostly when I saw him play tbf. Still just 25 too. He should leave Werder and give it one more shot somewhere else. What would they expect for him at this point. Probably around £3million - £5 million. I'd punt that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matta Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 From the Norwegian League (tippeligaen, 4 rounds in): These are the profiles so far in the league (ish): Erik Huseklepp still looks good, and is still setting up goals, aswell seems like scoring. Per Ciljan Skjelbreid has nothing to do here. Doesnt look anything special in the league so far. Simen Brenne has been good, and is probably better than butt/smith, but to old and do we really need that level?. From Rosenborg, Anthony Annan looks good as always, and i really think he would be a massive, and cheap signing. Defensive midfielder.Essien loves him. Theres some other young guns, like Christer Kleiven at 22 who could become something. Marcus Pedersen at 19 is a strong striker and could be something for the future. Both fairly good finishers . Really theres isnt alot, but maybe some squad players at best. Will like to add Mikael Lustig, swedish international, a right back who could also do a job. Atleast Annan would be good, rest needs alot of work to step up to premier level. thats it for now i guess, some of the norwegians here might add some.

Huseklepp looks good and Skjelbred has been average? Come on man, Huseklepp has been utter shite in the first three games. The players who would improve our current side from Tippeligaen are Annan and Thioune imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeloEmre Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Ashley and the club's managing director, Derek Llambias, believe £20m to £25m is a healthy budget for a club looking to consolidate its Premier League position. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/apr/06/mike-ashley-newcastle-chris-hughton Happy with that.

Guest Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 If we can get about £3-5m from selling Smith & Best, that could be a good budget. I won't hold my breath though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
