Guest firetotheworks Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I remember when TCD just talked unmitigated crap, now he's obnoxious as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 In an alternative universe, shepherd let Sir Bobby sign Terry and Woodgate that January rather than one or the other. Robson would have kept his job for another 2 or 3 years and we'd have been title challengers year on year, and possibly gotten purchased by the Abu Dhabi lot.

Optimistic Nut Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 If Robson had just signed Distin instead of Bramble, imagine that partnership man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 You win some you lose some I guess. If we'd got our other targets every time, we'd have had Solako instead of Ginola and Jeffers instead of Bellamy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 From memory, Jeffers & Zenden were Robson's first-choices that summer weren't they? Jeffers may have been as well as rather than instead of Bellamy tbf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Definitely seem to recall we were after Zenden before we signed Robert. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Yeah, those two are true. Also goes the other way around in that we could have had Carrick. Tbh I think Zenden would have been very good for us at that time, we would have been very happy with that one! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes1986 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Still annoys me the reason we didn't sign Carrick. Robson wanted to buy him in the summer of 2004 but Shepherd wouldn't let him because his contract was up the following summer and he believed we could get him for peanuts in the January as "there is no way Michael Carrick will sign for anyone else other than Newcastle". That's from his book as I'm sure a lot of people would know. More of Fat Fred's geordie nation bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I really wanted us to sign Zenden back in the day, but I agree that Robert was better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Zenden would've been a good signing too. So glad we had Larry instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 He was like a bull in a china shop today. He kept running out of defence and losing the header just like he did against Southampton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Was shit but that first half clearance of the line was oh so important. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinport53 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 That clearance that Vurn had to head off the line was appalling. As was his pathetic pass back to Krul that could easily have resulted in a goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Did some good work but about four or five massive ricks which thankfully didn't result in a goal. Can't help but think that Williamson's sheer presence causes him to shit his pants. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dummett is the only one I'd keep around, with Lascelles coming in at the end of the season. So we'd need 2 starters. God that's grim. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Really showed he is on the downward slope with yesturdays performance. Roma have one of the best defences in the italian league I wonder if they have center halfs we could buy ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
