Leon Best

[Leazes1986]

Press reports on Wednesday claimed that Newcastle striker  Leon Best had sustained ankle ligament damage during training on Tuesday.

 

The 23 year-old striker is reported to be seeing a specialist in London and to have had a scan. It's speculated that he could be out for at least three months. 

 

 

Without trying to sound a cunt, this could be a blessing

Agreed

[Guest neesy111]

Is this the Best thing that could of happened to us!

[geordie jamie]

if this is true we are in dire need of new players

[relámpago blanco]

Loan deal for Santa Cruz?

[GeordieDazzler]

Oh fuck

 

 

Have to get a new striker or two in now.

 

 

[Cunning_Linguist]

Loan deal for Santa Cruz?

 

Erm . . .  stop me if you think I am wrong but why bring in a crock to cover another crock?

[Leazes1986]

Just putting a posistive spin on it, as well as Hughton probably needing a new striker now, it might put a bit more urgency to get this Arfa deal done one way or another so we can move on.

[geordie_b]

Step in Craig Bellamy....

[Guest neesy111]

Time to Get Bellamy Back!

[Guest GAMMELL]

You just watch and learn, enter fucking MARLON HAREWOOD on a free

[David28]

Hughton plays another great trick here. 

 

This will convince Ashley that we'll need to buy/at least loan out a striker. Kinnear was allowed to buy Nolan and Raylor because of the injuries to Barton and Beye in 2009 - so I guess that now Hughton could be allowed to spend a few million for a new striker.

[Leazes1986]

How would we get Bellamy though? Theres quite a few stumbling blocks. His age, transfer or loan fee and his big wages being the main ones. I don't see how we would overcome them with Ashley like. Also, something tells me Hughton wouldn't quite fancy having someone like Bellamy around the place. I hope I'm totally wrong though, a fit Bellamy would keep us up.

[Minhosa]

He played the back end of last season with brain damage so a sore foot should see him back for the Man Utd game.

[Guest Roger Kint]

Dont worry folks, someone came into work today convinced his brother saw Stephen ireland at SJP yesterday...........

 

 

 

We are desperately short and even Best is a loss, will we deal with it and replace him though?

if he's prepared to retire, then money isn't a problem in regards to wages.

 

transfer would cost 5-7M for me, certainly achieveable if breaking our budget a little

Problem is that we would be paying 5-7 MIO to a player who is at the end of his career and probably won't play another 3 years, though.

[Leazes1986]

I think we'll definitely replace him. Hughton clearly doesn't fancy Ranger yet. If we're talking of signing any big name players though then I would think Robbie Keane is a lot more likely than Bellamy. He's Irish, got a good attitude and he's probably on less than Bellamy.

[Guest GAMMELL]

Robbie Keane's on a fairly large wedge at them horrible jews though

[Guest BooBoo]

This is not good news and anyone saying it's a blessing in disguise wants to have a word.

[Shearergol]

Harewood is an excellent shout tbh. We'll only be looking to bring in short-term cover.

how won't he play another 3 years, he look's fitter than ever

so we're you expecting him to score 20 goals next season then

[Yorkie]

If it's an excuse to definitely sign another striker, i'd say it's a bit of a blessing. It does sound like a serious injury mind, meaning we wouldn't be able to sell him, so i do see where you're coming from.

Why? Best is absolutely shite and it looked like we weren't going to sign another striker. Now we are left with 4 strikers, one of who is a 18/19 year old not ready yet and that might just be the thing which makes us go for a new striker. If we replace Best with better then it would be a blessing.
