Tiburon Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 I wouldn’t go so far as say he was a Newcastle legend and a Geordie twang? Where? Monsieur Robert is looking good though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes absolute helmets basing a player purely by their FBRef profile even funnier too (https://www.redcafe.net/threads/sandro-tonali-newcastle-close-to-70m-deal.451521/post-30710839). @Froggy I see why you avoid Red Cafe like the plague.

Is Bellamy, who did just as much if not more in a NUFC shirt? Robert for me goes down as a classic former hero/icon in the way Dabizas, Nobby et al are. Obviously the likes of Robert and Nobby especially are the bigger club icons/heroes. Legend status should be reserved for the likes of Shearer et al only. IMO anyway!

Then went to Laurent Robert at Sir Bob's golf tournament in the Algarve. Looking well. His agent said personal terms are sorted and they're waiting on the clubs to agree add-ons and what not, so technically aye, but really it's all but done.

OpenC Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Robert and Solano both have legend status for me I reckon, I put them in the same bracket as Shearer and higher than Bellamy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiburon Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Just now, gjohnson said: I remember a lot of Roberts goals....I only remember one of Bellamys I guess such titles for players are all about which player from our past is part of someone’s greatest memories and times following their team. I mean my fave all-time NUFC player would probably be Andy Cole, yet Shearer IS the legend, the better player and did more for us. It’s about fan favourites too. I just don’t consider the likes of Robert a legend here. He’d probably be GOD himself if he had of played for the mackems mind who reserve legend status for absolute no-bodies like Ball which again goes back to how such titles are awarded to players based more on what they mean to someone the most than what they actually merit in the annal’s of the club’s history overall.

Robert with Bellamy was the biggest transformation of a team that we've not seen since Eddie came along. Their pace took us from lower midfield to title challengers in a year. Both hugely effective, but Robert was far more memorable due to being terrible or spectacular. Bellamy probably had an overall better contribution but barring a game or two it wasn't as obvious Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
