Newcastle United transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

Yeah, Coventry signed Bellamy to replace Robbie Keane when he went to Inter and he didn't look much cop at all. Was an apprehensive attitude to the transfer - seemed like an average signing from an average PL side, a bit like Cort had seemed at that time as well.

He started as a centre forward but couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo, missed countless one on ones so much so that Gordon Strachan played him out on the left flank for the final 3 quarters of their relegation season.

I'm sure we were linked with Robert before Zenden, although we did try and buy the latter first. Robert excited me because he was coming from PSG, a French left winger... oooh la la la Ginola. I hadn't seem him play, however. Bellamy's signing was very much a meh signing at the time. Infact that whole summer wasn't that exciting. I still believe the InterToto cup games gave us an advantage going into the campaign though and when we drew with big spending Chelsea on the opening day I thought we could have a good season. And we did, more than good. Two players in Robert and Bellamy totally transformed an average side. Such signings this summer could transform the current team too...

I just remember seeing his stats and that he'd played in that Confederations Cup. Was a tragedy that he didn't get capped ever again and that he didn't make the World Cup squad in 2002 to replace Pires' injury.

2004 was when I think he gave up mind. He'd scored about 10 by February and was flying, then Bruno Cheyrou got called up by France instead. Hitting 29 and knowing he wasn't going to those Euros I think he pretty much stopped.

I've always thought Adrian looked like a decent keeper, whenever I've seen him. Although he was dropped last season for Randolph, wasn't he? As we weren't in the PL, I didn't really take a great deal of notice of it.

 

He was yeah, can't say I would rate him any higher than Krul pre injury of course.

Samaris isn't in the Benfica 18 tonight for their Super Cup match.

 

I love this time of the window when everyone checks if players we are linked to are in the squad. ?

 

I even did it with Joselu this afternoon.
