AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Grant Hanley was very untalented and looked like an ogres testicle. He was a pretty run-of-the-mill Championship CB though, don't think he was noticeably bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Still pisses me off that under Robson - Woodgate aside - we never went out and got ourselves a quality pair of centre halves. All the more remarkable we made the CL tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Aaron Hughes was playing right back despite most of the time being the best centre half we had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinoasprilla Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Rob McDonald definitely in that era he was just absolute garbage. Most hated for me is Michael Owen Remember Andrea's Anderson desperately trying not to score away at liverpool. Kind of fell over and it went in. Haman got sent off for us if I remember rightly and I was sat behind Lionel Perez. Think it was boxing day I thought that I had a memory of Andersson scoring a goal where he fell over and in the process knocked the ball over the keeper with his knee. I can't find it though, and the Liverpool 4-2 from December 1998 only has him scoring a decent goal after rounding the keeper. Went to that one. Think we were 2-0 up. Andersson went round the keeper then fell for no reason. Somehow he managed to score more luck than skill though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 My approximate worst to least worst of the worst from the time I've been watching Newcastle: 1. Lamine Diatta 2. Sol Campbell 3. Ronny Johnsen 4. Cacapa 5. Paul Huntington 6. Dave Edgar 7. Peter Ramage 8. Marcelino 9. Steven Caldwell 10. Moke Williamson 11. Jean-Alain Boumsong 12. Oguchi Onyewu 13. David Rozehnal 14. Craig Moore 15. Steven Taylor 16. Titus Bramble Sure I've left someone obvious out. There's so much crap to choose from the last 20 years Andy O'Brien. Worse than Bramble at least.

Obviously never happened. Wouldn’t give Distin the same wage as Robert, instead paid £2m more for Bramble. Given he was good for about 12 years after, that was one of his biggest mistakes. Would have been worth every penny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we were linked with him again a couple of times too (one the January we signed Boumsong). £4m could have set us up for the next decade in that position.

Away Day Gadgie Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 It was really frustrating knowing how good he was but also knowing he was more likely to miss the next 5 games than play in them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
