Interpolic Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I love Shearer but I genuinely couldn't have less interest in the comments he makes. Always comes across as fairly clueless tbh. Shearer: "Of course, you don’t want to lose your top players and Andy Carroll and Kevin Nolan were probably Newcastle’s two best players." IIRC Shearer dropped Nolan during our relegation season and fell out with Barton who also thought Shearer was clueless along with his clueless mate Dowie. Shearer now changing tack completely and describing Nolan as one of our two best players doesn't surprise me in the least. He's as slippery as a politician and just as untrustworthy. You don't remember correctly, Nolan started 6 of the 8 games that Shearer was in charge for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest magpie99 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 It's a pointless argument anyway. Noone played well under anyone that season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 If we complete the Erdinc transfer, the only other mooted transfer is one for a winger, right? I reckon that would be leave us with a pretty decent transfer window, assuming no major outgoings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 No, probably a left back or right back. We won't sign a winger unless Routledge has been sold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJM Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Am I missing something like...."demba ba is the only striking addition....would be surprised if we don't spend any more money" What is wrong with the points he is making? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley17 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Aye. Too busy cheating on his wife to watch a bit of Ligue 1, selfish prick. Exactly. Pardew manages to do both of those. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Upson, erdinc and Zog would wrap up a great window We need to steer WELL clear of upson. He's past it, why would you want him? If erdinc is signed, I see us signing a left back and that's it. It's all up to Jose staying or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 A huge upgrade on Sol in terms of backup anyway and to be honest he's probably not that far off Taylor and Williamson if at all imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-england international, he's now old, slow and shit. He was released for good reason. I'd say we do need another CB but we have more pressing concerns at LB and up front.

ChrisMcQuillan Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Plus, as you admitted we need a new CB. Why not take this fella as the backup we need if he's on a free? Saying we need a striker more is like not having any food or water, needing water urgently, but turning down a free Chinese takeaway cause you're searching from that precious bottle of Evian.

Guest Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I just think he's unlucky he's always been far too over rated. He's an average Premier League centre-back who could do a job as 3rd or 4th choice imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I think it's pretty telling that hasn't been picked up by anyone saying that I'd take him as a 4th choice and send Kadar out on loan. Can't imagine he'd come on cheap wages though or want to come in as a reserve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I don't rate Upson but as a 4th choice with question marks still over Kadar's fitness.. Might not be the worst free signing in the world? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
