I remember him since I saw him in every game he played for Newcastle and he didn't cost anywhere near 25 million for a start. 15 minutes ago, HTT II said: I’d never heard of him, he was in reality shite, but he did a job and was in the end, a worthy signing at the time, in the ‘process’ we trust, or not… He wasn't shite at all he scored 7 goals in 12 games and suffered a serious ankle injury which finished his career.

I adored the player personally, he would have scored 15 + for us that season if fit starting every game or most games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) What a game, what a cameo, it felt even the most random and not so good player under KK could do something magical and contribute and most did.

relámpago blanco Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 That was the game we had to wear away at home because of the strips clashing. I remember an away game against them something similar had to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cole last minute of 90, Walker had him in his pocket all game, but Cole, swivel and bang, Andy Andy Cole, he gets the ball and scores a goal, Andy Andy Cole!

Chris_R Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I was in the Leazes behind that Mathie goal. No way did he mean it quite like that, but it was still an amazing goal. 3 minutes ago, HTT II said: The green kit? Cole last minute of 90, Walker had him in his pocket all game, but Cole, swivel and bang, Andy Andy Cole, he gets the ball and scores a goal, Andy Andy Cole! Loved the Andy Cole song. The first time I recall it was at the Leicester 7-1 game in the last match of the promotion season, and it just felt like the whole ground sang that song solidly for about half the match. Doubt I'll ever experience an atmosphere quite like that ever again, the ground was absolutely bouncing that day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Honestly, he was my first Toon idol, hero, whatever, I cried when he left and hated KK my absolute all-time hero now, for all of a few days, I adored Cole, and that song, those days, that era, those times, the best ever! If we get close to that even if we go one further and win a trophy. Nothing will eclipse that era for me, ever! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha yes, that's true. Such anticipation knowing the record was his for the taking and pandemonium when he scored it. That was vs Villa, 5-1. I remember I always used to have a daft bet with my mate before kickoff who would score first, and that day I said Bracewell, who I hadn't scored all season. He laughed and said "If Bracewell scores first I'll give you £100" which to us as poor students was an absolute fortune back then. Needless to say he smashed a thunderbastard in from 20+ yards.

TRon Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 2 hours ago, HTT II said: Howay man, one is a skinny 18 year old in France, the other is a recognised 1 in 3 PL striker. This isn't fantasy football FFS. It’s about the reality of the situation, can we afford to spunk 25m on a 1-3 PL striker, aye. Can we on an untested 18 year old, aye, but it’s about what is needed right now and although this one may be one for the future, I’m sure there are plenty more fish in the sea. Basically don’t use this as a stick to beat the signing of Wood nor its ramifications short-term. Got to agree with this, while I'd much rather spend £25m on Ekitike most days of the week, would he be the right signing in a relegation battle? Easy for fans to say this, but you have to go with proven record at this level and in this country, over potential. Safety from relegation has to come first in this window, and I can't hand on heart say I'd have done any different if our survival was on the line.
