AlanSkÃrare Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I think Matty Pattison is the worst player I've seen in black and white. Him and Ramage for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Albert Luque was honestly a brilliant player up until you signed him. Probably wasn't suited to your league, but he was worth the money at that point, imho. Was actually going to ask for your opinion, cheers for that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Luque showed more than flashed of his ability. But come on, the lad had absolutely no chance with Souness, Roeder and Allardyce in charge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Luque was class v Man United before his injury. Should have scored after flicking the ball over Ferdinand. Then against Fulham, Souness farmed him out on the wing to preserve fucking Shearer's place in the team. Sound familiar? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 We've had a raft of utterly awful youngsters come through- Pattinson, Ramage, Huntington, Alan O'Brien. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 One player i forgot about, drum roll..... Alan O'Brien. Pattison was worse, slightly, but still. Roeder really decided to bring some really crap players through. It all started when Souness brought Ramage through, then things got out of hand with Huntington, O'Brien, Pattison and to some degree, David Edgar.

Ishmael Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I genuinely despised seeing the slow and aged Shearer crawling around the pitch that season. Slightly tarnished my respect for him, which has since been further blotted by more recent activity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chubby Jason Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Luque was class v Man United before his injury. Should have scored after flicking the ball over Ferdinand. Then against Fulham, Souness farmed him out on the wing to preserve f***ing Shearer's place in the team. Sound familiar? "Fucking" Shearer's place in the team? Had he not earned that place? Luque wasn't class at all either, he was average and very quickly turned to utter dog shit after his return from injury. A disastrous signing.

Luque wasn't class at all either, he was average and very quickly turned to utter dog s*** after his return from injury. A disastrous signing. Reckon if Shearer returned now we'd have to return him to the first team? There comes a point where a player is just unable to contribute sufficiently. Take Gary Neville as a prime example this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chubby Jason Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Gary Neville this season and Shearer in his final one for NUFC are two totally different propositions, Shearer was still in the team on merit as he was the best option in that side along with Owen. Are you seriously suggesting had we player Albert fucking Luque up front instead of his Luque would have prospered into what would be a considered a great signing? Alan Shearer was still capable of scoring plenty of goals at that stage and still did get his fair share even when we were playing dog shit football and serving him up with next to no chances.

Ishmael Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Put simply, yes. Shearer shackled the club (in selection and tactical approach) and consequently significantly stunted the development of the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest elbee909 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hamilton, Garry Brady was completely pointless as I recall. Robinson. (How the hell did we get that money for him?) Cordone went to shit. Georgiadis, another anonymous signing. G'uivarch. Wayne Quinn. Andersson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Though he was clearly well past his best it by then, Shearer still got 14 goals that year - 10 in the Premier League. Off the back of three major injuries too. It's just not fair to say anyone could 'despise' Shearer on the pitch at any point. The guy had more application and bottle than anyone who's ever played for us since. Especially a certain few other forwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Put simply, yes. Shearer shackled the club (in selection and tactical approach) and consequently significantly stunted the development of the side. I agree that to an extent he did hold the development of the first team back in his later years. Overall though the bloke's positive contributions completely outweighed any negative affect he had. Even in his last season, he still chipped in with about 8 goals. I wish we currently had that problem tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Shearer shackled the club in its tactical approach? What were we going to serve up with the likes of Carr and Robbie Elliott as fullbacks and Lee Clark on the bench? Shearer gets way too much stick for his last few season that its comical. We had bigger problems basically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
