Newcastle United transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

The quickest CBs by a country mile Ive seen were Des Walker and Paul McGrath.

 

mcgrath was quick?  i was a bit young for early mcgrath but always thought of him having great positioning rather than pace (not that they're mutually exclusive i suppose) largely due to his f***ed knees

 

Man U and early Villa McGrath was rapid. I haven't seen many better defenders in my time. Lawrenson was another who could motor. And Kevin Ratcliffe at Everton

 

Agree with McGrath and Ratcliffe. Lawrenson not so much but had this great knack of when it looked like someone was away from him he could slide and his leg seemed to extend an extra foot to reach the ball!

I once saw Lawro go past Cyrille Regis at his peak after giving him a five yard start in a chase for the ball. Deceptively quick because of the smoothness of his running style. Lawrenson was another who found defending remarkably easy, or his manner portrayed that.

Lawrenson was a class act. He ended up covering all sorts of different positions for Liverpool, and playing for Ireland didn't give him the same international exposure, so his reputation isn't as great as is merited. But as a defender, he often looked like a man against boys.

If we are going to spend money in January i hope it will be on young promising players.

 

Can´t see we need anything really. Better to save the money and spend them on better players after promotion imo.

 

Can only see us bringing in Judge for more creativity if he's proved his fitness as I think the No.10 spot is possibly where he's least happy.

 

All being well he'll he'll make bigger moves in the summer as and where he can find better players willing to join us.

I'd like to see a couple of additions. Should have plenty of money left and we need to make sure we get promoted.

I do get the sense he is thick as mince though. Not 'on message'/party line, but nevertheless true. If this, however unkind, is accurate then I'd get shot sharpish: "Stupid is and stupid does..." as in he will be far less likely to improve than someone 'good at learning'.

Couldn't even get the quote right FFS :lol:  Who is the thick one, again? :lol:

Well you evidently. If you equate presence of a typo with low intelligence.

been bloody superb for Dundalk both in league and done well in europe. Always the worry how he'd step up to a higher level as the normal thing instead of the special occasion type of thing he's currently going through with dundalks europa league stuff but low risk gamble all things considered.
