ponsaelius Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 We released Danquah, didnt we? Did we ? when did that happen ? End of last season. Danquah and Baheng were among those released. Shocked..I thought both showed promise.. from what I seen of em anyway. They were both hastely signed to just fill up places in the youth team weren't they? When there wasn't enough youngsters promoted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Yeah, because we'd all benefit massively from playing Ranger over Benjani. Yeah we probably would Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 shocking, the sun was wrong on the raul story from the chron Meanwhile, Hughton rubbished reports today that Newcastle were interested in former Real Madrid and Spain star Raul.

The Prophet Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Ranger badly needs to go out on loan this season, as he currently stands as a striker he's massively overrated and needs to time to develop his game at a lower level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Raul seems to me like the kind of player that would be an absolute flop in the Premiership. yup, can imagine him signing up for a MLS team though To his credit, he says he wants to keep playing competitive football. But he has no legs anymore and in my opinion will be exposed in any other team where he isn't protected in the same way as in Real Madrid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Though Benjani is pap, I'm glad we're looking at striking options and also checking players out before getting them on contracts where possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I'd be comfortable buying Hooper if we bought another striker, but if we dont then its asking for trouble. EDIT: Maybe put Leon Best in a deal? Or Ranger on loan? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Gary Hooper? Hmm http://www.leedsunited-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/hooper_set_for_toon_move_539024/index.shtml was just about to post that myself... aint seen much of him.. he any good?? Quality in the championship, and I'm pretty confident he'd be a decent premiership striker (he's better than Martin Paterson, that's for sure). He's been left out of all of the pre-season matches to make sure he avoids injury, so he's soon to be leaving. Celtic are the favourites for him, but nobody wants to pay the £2.5m. I'd put a good deal of money on him not being a target for Newcastle though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Throw Best in the Hooper deal, loan Ranger out, buy a quick second striker type from somewhere abroad. Leaves us with: Carroll New Striker Hooper Lovenkrands Shola I'd be happy with that in theory (unlikely to happen), but relying on somebody like Hooper as our sole signing upfront would be crazy. We need to be edging our bets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Guy on a Watford forum reckons Ranger is off to Watford on loan and we're getting first option on Loach. Hopefully and likely to be bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
