Guest michaelfoster Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 We could improve our squad by releasing Campbell, Smith, Harper, Perch, Raylor & Lovenkrands at the end of the season. Them not being there means they cannot be picked. It's an improvement. Because we have loads of players to replace them as backups don't we? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Good to see Pardew's methods are really starting to kick in now. Back to the London casino for him. Maybe he will lose a bet to one of the top 4 owners and move on? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I don't want to get depressed all night with this, so instead of reading through the thread, can somebody briefly sum the game up please? Was 4-0 harsh on us? Who was good? Who was bad? Any injuries? Any reason to be optimistic? Thanks. I was at work for all of it so only know the score.

Started alright, goal came slightly against the run of play and from then until half time we responded well. Second half started terribly and some terribly sloppy play meant the game was over in 5mins. I didn't watch the rest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Them not being there means they cannot be picked. It's an improvement. Because we have loads of players to replace them as backups don't we? Without Harper we'd have Krul and Forster fighting for No1, without Lovenkrands we'd play Ranger, without Campbell we wouldn't try and squeeze him in, without Smith we'd have £50k+pw to play with and less liability when he does play, without Raylor we'd have another £30k+ and without Perch we can try Richardson, Kadar, Ferguson and other youngsters who'd no doubt do a better job. That's not to say we wouldn't sign replacements, especially with the likes of Harper, Campbell, Smith & Raylor off the books, there's about £7m a year off the books in wages.

Without a fee for the player its more likely. You saying we couldn't give Lovenkrands away when Brum were sniffing around trying to buy him, or Harper to a promoted team next year? Pick Smith as he's the most difficult to flog due to his high wages, but's he's only got a year left and may decide football is more important if he's not wanted here (up in till now every manager insisted on playing him) PS: How much is Nicky Butt getting these days?

Them not being there means they cannot be picked. It's an improvement. Bring in Westwood on a free - Ship Harps out permenantly, bring back Foster and send Krul on loan. Can see us selling one of Krul or Foster tbh. releasing Campbell, Smith, Harper, Perch, Raylor & Lovenkrands - Good for starters. If we can move Ameobi out at somepoint that would be immense too.

Silly me forgetting all these new rules imposed by Newcastle Online on NUFC. Not having Lovenkrands surely forces Ferguson and Ranger in to the 1st team, something we'd all like to see, no?

Whether fit or not, I'd be imposing a 48 hour ban of the city centre nightspots before any game for our players. Totally unprofessional that these clowns are recovering from injuries and are arsing about on the drink when they should be taking it easy. I think in years to come (and it may take a while) clubs will end up banning their players from city centre nightlife. It creates nothing positive.

Hardly rules imposed by me, imposed by the idiot running the show certainly. But how many players do you expect us to sign if we give half a dozen away? We're already struggling to put a team out.

Guest BooBoo Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Its not often I agree with Harry Redknapp but he's spot on when he says professional footballers should be banned by their clubs from drinking. How can you spend a fortune paying a player to be a top athlete and then see him in some piece of shit nighclub getting plastered? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
