toon25 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Not a great footballer by any means, but a consummate professional and a lovely bloke. Has never kicked up a fuss, has always put his body on the line for the team and, unlike a certain previous number 9, I think playing for the Toon means the f***ing world to him. He'll not be first choice so I don't know what the fuss is about tbh. Pardew's not that daft to think we'd be able to rely on Shola for the goals we'll need to keep us in the mix, so to speak. Our previous number nine gave everything in every game, almost the exact opposite can be said for Mr Ameobi. Playing for Newcastle means everything to him? Jeez. I put more effort in getting out of bed than he does in 90 minutes. You don't write fantasy stories by any chance mate? If you bothered to read my post you would see that I wasn't referring to effort on the pitch whatsoever but rather the fact that his affection for the club appears to be genuine as opposed to just empty rhetoric. Of course Shola isn't as good as, nor will ever be as good as Carroll, but that's not the point I was trying to make. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez man. £35 million for our last number 9. Alan Shearer also played number 9 once, just in case you weren't aware. Aye but I don't like talking about that big gypsy, so I overlooked him.

TRon Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Not fussed as long as he is just relatively cheap back up. The key is to get in another better quality front man. so Shola is only used sparingly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 We're never going to see the back of him are we? I hope he puts a bit more f***ing effort in this season now he's been rewarded... Can't see it. He had a few ok games under JFK, then got his new deal and went back to being a mule. He's back in his comfort zone now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geordiesned Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Seriously, how can anyone possibly be delighted with the club showing yet again it has no ambition by giving this oaf an extended contract? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I'm not surprised. He may miscontrol the ball more than most, but in certain situations, he can cause problems for even the best defenders. Successive managers have rated him more highly than the supporters, and I think that's the reason why. You can find plenty of strikers whose weaknesses aren't so glaring, but who don't actually have anything in their armoury that the better defences can't handle comfortably. It's just a different way of assessing a player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Seriously, how can anyone possibly be delighted with the club showing yet again it has no ambition by giving this oaf an extended contract? It would cost hardly anything to replace him with a younger, more hungry striker but no. Completely unforgivable if he's still a big part of the first team this year.

The Shola hatred is over the top from some quarters. He's not good enough to start but he has scored important goals for us in the past. As a back up option he is ok imo.

BlueStar Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I've come to the conclusion that his occasional ability to cause problems for defences comes from being absolutely impossible to read. If Shola doesn't know what he's about to do from one second to the next, how can the opposition? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
