Aye he looked brilliant in preseason. I think Shearer’s injury changed everything for him. Such a shame. 

Yep, he would have been perfect just behind him or as the second forward. He’s a very likeable person too by all accounts!

I do like mind how a lot of Championship clubs seem to think way outside of the box when it comes to managers and yet some PL clubs where they’d love to be keep relying on dinosaur PFMs.

Scored a great volley from the edge of the box in a preseason friendly at Birmingham.

 

Felt we had a great signing on our hands, ruined by the loss of Shearer.

 

Not sure if that also turned out to be Beardsley and Ferdinand's last game.

It's not used in a bad way (this time) but I hate how it's nearly always "former Newcastle United...".

 

Tomasson went onto play for 5 other clubs and according to Wikipedia played for us the least amount of times. 

 

Fully expect Nile Ranger to commit murder and it'll be "Former Newcastle United player.." when he's gone on to play for 460 other clubs since leaving us.

Hope he does well, it does feel a fresh move but lets not kid ourselves he was anything but abysmal for us.

Can't see the logic in Shearer's being injured causing Tomasson to fluff all those chances, score exclusively pub league level league goals (horrific miskicks, deflections or richochets.

It will be ‘Former Newcastle United star’ my good sir.

Shearer’s injury resulted in JDT having to play as the main striker and he missed a sitter on debut. It was a position he wasn’t suited to and that miss seemed to have a huge impact on him.

 

We’d only kept Sir Les……

Especially since he went on to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world where he won a CL medal (and a runners up CL medal)…

So that derby has went from Dyche v Mowbray to Kompany v Tomasson. Locals will be seething.

 

Shit like this would never have happened if Kompany and Tomasson were onboard that flight to Rwanda last night as planned.

Blackburn is less xenophobic then Burnley, but both from my experience are backward towns, a bit like sunderland, when it comes to the foreigners…

"Vincent Kompany can take inspiration from Wayne Rooney as Burnley look to bounce back to the Premier League"

:lol:


Goes on to not mention any reference of said inspiration.

 

Why did Kompany retire at 33? Kinda insane to be managing Burnley at 36. :lol:

Body was done.  He didn't manage 30 appearances in a sinle season in his last 5 years of football. Even Callum Wilson has managed that 3 times in the last 5 seasons without European football.

 

Fair enough, he was obviously a very physical player, loved a crunching tackle/red card.

I thought he was meant to be doing well there? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

 

You might be right.

 

My knowledge on the subject was largely based on a comment a friend made as well as noticing they came third, behind Royale Union and missing out on CL.
