Cajun Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Some were talking about his ability to get into the box and find the space to get into goal scoring positions, how much of a better player than Scott Parker for us etc.. He has scored ZERO goals this season, he scored ONE goal last season. He has never been any good since he left Leeds and I still can't believe some think he was a good player for us.

Parky Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Not fair he has shown extreme aggression and pace in the queue at McDonalds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 in all fairness to Bow, he's being given a deeper role for West Ham, and has been unclucky with injuries this season btw, who was our last CM who managed 7 goals in a season? and before that?

junkhead Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Sidwell reminds me of Bowyer, without the occasional psychotic side effects.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Mongo Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 We still haven't replaced him. Which makes Sidwell look like a good idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crumpy Gunt Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 He knocked 7 bells out of shithouse Dyer thus securing legendary status on Tyneside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Mongo Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 True. But he couldn't do it on a regular basis, so we're just as well off without him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 WTF has this to with how crap we are now ? You STILL trying to have a go at Bowyer ? WHY ? Because people were claiming he was a hell of a lot better than he was, a season on at a new club is a good time to look back. Basically he has done the same as he did for us, not much. Dyer gets slated for running around like a headless chicken but he adds a lot more to the team than Bowyer would and without the risk of losing it and getting sent off/suspended.

NUFC06 Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I always will remember him as a good kickbox fighter That fight with Dyer is not something you can see every day He is mentally unstable and im glad he is not here anymore Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stephen927 Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Was fantastic at Leeds but he's been on a downward spiral ever since. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NIToon Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 He's not a prem class player, looked alright at Leeds but what has he done since? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 On his day, he was a fantastic player. But a times, he would just vanish in games. He was a good player, just not consistent enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwegian-Geordie Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I still think I would want to keep him if he didnt miss London so much. He was really good at the end of last season, remember that? Almost like when he was in Leeds. He was a good player to have in the squad imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Shiite player, overrated when he hit his purple patch and was never a "fantastic" player in a million years. A player with low ability but high work rate, good at getting in the right attacking positions, even better at showing dreadful technique and application when it came to things like shooting or passing. Could count the number of good games he had for us in his 3 years here on one hand, one finger per good game. Couldnt count the number of utter shiite games he had for us during this period, too numerous. Glad the waster has gone elsewhere. Just out of interest, does anyone remember "the curse of Lee Bowyer"? A West Ham fan came on this board soon after we signed him, saying that he was a cursed player. Ie, relegated with Leeds, relegated with West Ham, and would take us to relegation too. Bit of a coincidence that we were a top 4 side when we signed him, and nearly got caught in a relegation dogfight in his final season here. And now hes at West Ham, theyre serious contenders for the drop again. Obviously its bollocks, but I find it a bit funny. Although, maybe there is something in there - some players are acknowledged to be so good that they raise the playing level of everyone around them. Bowyer, after his purple patch, may be so shiite that he lowers the level of everyone around him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left them in january one year to go to West Ham on loan/short term deal, they went down and he signed for Newcastle. Only one relegation on his CV, he's no Nigel Quashie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
