Delima Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I raised the point in the Others Clubs transfers thread - they have half a dozen centre backs but not many fullbacks, perhaps the rumours that Bruce doesn't rate Angeleri are true? Bruce is crazy. Last season they had Mensah, Da Silva, Ferdinand, Turner and then Kigallon This season they have Mensah, Da Silva, Ferdinand, Turner, Bramble and then Kigallon (rumoured to go to Boro on loan), with Onuoha coming in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Onuoha. Fucking hell, man He's one of my favourite footballers too. With a few exceptions, they're building a canny squad there. are they? buying a lot of defenders but the rest of the side? attack especially if they sell jones and replace with a loan of welbeck riveros, al-muhammadi and mensah are good players. angeleri is, but may not get a chance. plus they've got good young players. certainly think its the best squad outside of the top 8.

Delima Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Not a bad squad at all. Craig Gordon Phil Bardsley George McCartney Michael Turner Anton Ferdinand Paulo da Silva Matthew Kilgallon Marcos Angeleri Titus Bramble John Mensah Boudewijn Zenden Steed Malbranque Kieran Richardson Jordan Henderson David Meyler Andy Reid Lee Cattermole Ahmed Al-Muhammadi Cristian Riveros Teemu Tainio Fraizer Campbell Darren Bent Kenwyne Jones David Healy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Midfield has questions over it, and strike force is very dependant on one man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Agree with Kez,and also they have a lack of width throughout tbh,quality wise,except for maybe Henderson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delima Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Midfield has questions over it, and strike force is very dependant on one man. There are questions all over the pitch. None of their players stand out as a quality player, except Bent. However it is a large squad with averagely good players, they are going to be a solidly mid table team.

adam1 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Not happy at the possibility of them signing Onuoha like. There is no reason why we shouldnt have enquired about this, other than we have someone better lined up. Which i highly doubt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

relámpago blanco Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Why all the love for the scum?? Because we are not thick and blinded by our hatred for them, we have to accpet this is a good deal for them and they have a better squad than us. I do find it funny though that we can be like this yet they cannot and irrespective of how we are looking they'll always make up some excuse as to why we are shite.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 They're an average squad with good forwards, that will ensure they finish above us. We're an average squad with average forwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Haris Vuckic Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_kBI4oICwU&feature=related Loads of respect for that tbh They can fuck off to be honest bastard grief leeches. This is the same Sir Bobby Robson who had suffered cancer four times when they spat venom and abuse at him when he was watching the England match at the Sol. Same bloke who at every derby they sang about him pissing himself. I'm bitter about it because it made me sick at the time. They can't have it both ways and for them more than any other club it seems to be a form of humbling themselves. ''jesus wept, face palm etc'' from some sour...

Maybe Bruce really is the "Geordie agent" they feared. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Gordon, Cattermole, potentially Riveros & Bent are the only ones in my opinion who'd make a significant improvement. The rest are only slightly better or of a similar standard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
