First player that comes to mind for me is Townsend. Obviously discounting Tony Green (wasn't around when he played, but presumably he's #1) Jan to May 2012, Cisse was magnificent. Never seen so many top glass goals scored by a player in a black n white shirt over so short a time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilcline is the right answer for me - even though he was at the club 18 months, he only really played for the first four or five of that. Without Killer, we go down to Division Three and potentially no longer exist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, the quality of Cisses goals were definetly better for all it matters. Edited August 14, 2023 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I definitely asked the question wrong like. I meant players who were only here for a short time, rather than just purple patches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Wayne Routledge is a shout. If he left as soon as we were promoted he'd probably top the list. We went from promotion shoo-ins to absolute certainties when he arrived. But he didn't leave then, so I'll have to say Fitz Hall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stal Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Andy Cole maybe? Alongside Beardsley, those two were a force. I refuse to acknowledge anyone from the dark days of pardew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Townsend Remy Rondon Distin, good shout. It was really frustrating when he didn't sign permanently at the end of the 2002 season. He had fit in so seamlessly, and when central defence was the main area that team needed help it felt like the most natural thing for all parties to lock it up.

I would be very surprised, he wasn’t exactly in a strong negotiating position being dropped at his old club. Wages, like transfer fees, seem like something we won’t pay above the odds on.

LionOfGosforth Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Was thinking randomly this morning about his goal, it was so similar to the one John Aldridge scored for Liverpool in the 88 cup semi against Forest. Love goals like this, nice CM and winger combination play, beautiful cross and someone barreling in to bury the chance. Bloke has ice in his veins.
