Ronaldo Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 He's had one genuinely bad game and another in which he played behind Danny Guthrie. Let's not write him off completely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tall Striker Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Sol Campbell is as sub-standard as Alan Smith now? Pathetic. I'm not saying they're on a par but you can hardly claim that Campbell has been decent this season. He also doesn't fall into the category of a lower league player or a hungry youngster does he? It was just an example Ronaldo, don't get your thong in a twist You taking the piss? Barring West Brom away he's looked solid and commanding. He's exactly the type of player we need to cover for flappy arms Taylor when he drops a bollock, because he reads the game so well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Other than striker we actually don't really "need" first team players. I'd struggle to name realistic transfer targets that could significantly improve our first XI that are within our price range. "no marks to sit on the bench" is actually exactly what we lack. We need some reliable backup options about par with Routledge or S.Taylor quality-wise that can come in instead of players who have proven that they are blatantly not even good enough to sit on the bench. (Guthrie, Lovenkrands, Smith) January is a time to sign those last few role players who will help you meet your short term goals (for us, avoiding relegation.) It's not for buying big names who will instantly bring you up a notch quality-wise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he was that bad against Liverpool. I thought he was poor against West Brom, where he was caught out of possession numerous times and constantly looked to hoof the ball. Unless my eyes deceived me from 30 yards away from the match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinotheprehistoricgeordie Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Ronaldo wins again. I would think that raiding the up and coming Southampton players would be a good start for our youth transfer policy.

NEWCASTLE United will attempt to bring in two players during the January transfer window with Alan Pardew admitting the squad he has inherited is short of options in vital areas. The Journal understands United’s new manager is looking to sign a striker and a left-back, although these are likely to be loan deals to provide cover for first-choice players rather than big money replacements.

Thespence Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Loan deals as cover. Yay! I guess signing a loan deal striker to start would upset: Ranger, Shola, Bestie & Loven. Did a JFK & forgot Xisco Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Unless at least one of Xisco, Best and Lovenkrands are going I can't see the point in bringing in yet another squad-level striker. If anyone we bring in is better than those then he will probably be starting by default, or at the very least competing with Shola for the second spot. Ranger will surely have to go out on loan too, or else there's even less point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone we bring in is better than those then he will probably be starting by default. I'd add Shola into that as well. Carroll is the only striker we have who i'd say is Premier League quaility. Shola just gets the nod as he's usually seen as the least shit of all the rest, which is massively open to debate anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roger Kint Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Fucking hell all this cos Ronaldo made a reasonable call on Sol Campbell? Hardly worth a page of people being arses over it Anyway if we are looking at loans that ex Liege striker was rumoured to be available from Monaco, seemed ok against Liverpool and Everton a year or so back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw on sky yesterday that Fulham and Arsenal are trying to sign a Southampton youth. Not sure any would actually move, Southampton's a good place to be for a young player. Though there are two definite prospects who're a little too young to make any impressions upon their first team just yet who could be very special; James Ward-Prowse and Jake Sinclair.
