ianovthetoon Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Just had a message saying he’s having a medical at Sunderland. Not ITK and could well be bullshit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 November and still without a club, but not formally retired. Wonder what the craic is. Would think he's worth a crack at a lower level, but get the impression he's enjoying living in Newcastle again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bonk Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I never got that sense he was that dedicated to the game beyond his natural ability and the fruit of that was/is probably good enough for him. Remember how shell shocked he looked during the Liverpool transfer? He's as Geordie as they come, IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Pilgrim Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I remember seeing Buffon knock him out at SJP ina preseason game, then come out after and say he was a wonder kid Was a 12 month period where every game he played he was twice as good as the last time. The move to Liverpool killed what could have been an excellent career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 With his physically dominant playing style, he was always going to be another Duncan Ferguson when it comes to injuries. Especially when he isn't the best professional when it comes to taking care of his body. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizarre Not really, they get to have a look at him and when he's inevitably unfit and crap they can get rid and sign a proper player in January. If by a miracle he does well they can always extend it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

number37 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Took until the third paragraph of that article to confirm he'd signed as a footballer (or with that intention, at least). Still had to check, obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 He might do alright, his game never has relied on pace so he could potentially play well into his 30s. That's if you completely ignore that he's a physical wreck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcher Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 That spell before he went to Liverpool, man. I've only ever loved Shearer and HBA as much as him back then. Was close to tears when he left He looked like he could become a top class striker tbf. What a fucking waste. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) He had everything like, he was pretty much unbeatable in the air and worked his tits off across the front line. If he continued on with that work ethic and didn't have the trouble he had with injuries I cannot see any reason why he wouldn't have been atleast an 86 on FIFA.

I thought he was going to lead our line as #9 for a decade. I didn't think he was going to be as good as Shearer, but I couldn't believe our luck we were going to have a top geordie striker leading us again. Was proper gutted when he left, and hated him, loved being at Anfield when he first played against us and we gave him so much abuse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that was the game that properly broke him as a top flight player, and his feeble attempt at a dive for a penalty sealed it in his mind that he was never going to be idolised at Liverpool or anywhere else other than what he could have had here. Really believe that was his 'here's what you could have won' moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Surprised he's gone straight into playing after so long out. Played 30 mins tonight and on the weekend. Apparently helped set up the winner in a 1-0 on the weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the field he’s a mess though which I think largely contributed to what happened to him The move to Liverpool destroyed him mentally as a footballer. If he'd stayed I fully believe he wouldn't have had as many injury problems as he did over the rest of his career. 9 minutes ago, ManDoon said: He did aye.
