Smal Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Pretty sure I read he scored for their reserves recently. Hope he does well and stays fit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 He was a pretty good signing for us, did more than what was expected and left when we needed a better option, good luck to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki679 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I miss him I kind of miss that 'group of lads'. There was a tangible spirit around the club and you got that feeling it wasn't just a job for them. So rare in modern football but be thankful we had it again for a little while.

Si Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Plus he was mint. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakie Doke Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Opportunity missed by management here, passing up the chance to name Best and Good in the same lineup. Imagine the hilarity! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I wouldn't say he left when we needed a better option, we could definitely do with someone like him in the squad now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it is for this group of lads, but I know what you mean. The team spirit immediately after relegation is one of the best I can remember. I just miss Besty because I always thought he was hugely underrated and worked hard to get his chance. He was probably the most natural finisher at the club and some of the goals he scored (Fulham and QPR at home last season) were just fantastically taken and the type that would've been wanked over had Rooney or Walcott put them away. His partnership with Ba was also very good the first half of last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I wasn't bothered when he left, but that was based on the assumption that we would sign a striker in the summer. In hindsight, we should have hung onto him for one more season tbh. He'd have nicked a few goals for us this year (assuming fate doesn't exist and he would've stayed fit).

Kanji Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 That hat trick v West Ham was honestly just fantastic. Each of his goals were taken so well. That sweet left foot of his. I def do miss him and still wish he was here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reported price I couldn't argue with him leaving but like you I thought we would get someone else in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPL Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Would have been a perfect foil for Cisse, good luck for the rest of the season for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 He left us before he had a chance for us to become frustrated by his limitations, tbh. That's not a criticism of him at all, he put everything in and I was always more surprised and very happy with his performances than unhappy with them, but he was with Ryan Taylor, Shola, Guthrie, Perch and possibly Jonas in the group of players that stepped up for us when we needed them to because they were still not on the same level as Santon, Cisse/Ba, Cabaye, Tiote etc. He's a minor cult hero because of what he gave for us and I'll always have a soft spot for him and wish him all the best in whatever he does, but that doesn't mean to say that I would be happy with him as a back up to Cisse this season. I'd just be less unhappy than it being Shola, if that makes sense. It should finish on a positive though. I liked him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
