sempuki Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Roeder meets Shepherd for transfer talks Apr 27 2007 By Alan Oliver, The Evening Chronicle Glenn Roeder and Freddy Shepherd were locked in talks today about potential signings for Newcastle United next season. Shepherd was at the club's training ground this morning and Roeder rushed through his Press conferences before going into a behind-closed-doors meeting with the United chairman. And the Chronicle can reveal today that this is the latest of a series of meetings between Roeder and Shepherd as United are determined to move quickly into the transfer market as soon as the season ends. It's the worst kept secret in football that United have beaten off competition from the likes of Everton, Middlesbrough, Aston Villa and even Chelsea for Reading midfielder Steve Sidwell All Roeder would say on the subject of Sidwell today was: "I can understand why a lot of clubs are being linked with Steve Sidwell because he is a good player and he has had an outstanding season." Meanwhile, Roeder laughed off talk today that Kieron Dyer was on his way out of St James' Park and that Spurs were interested in buying him. The United boss said: "It's absolute nonsense about Spurs. And why, after spending so much time in getting Kieron Dyer back into business with us, should we consider selling him? "Kieron will definitely be with us next season. The only concern I have about him is that he plays a big part in our last three matches." The return of Dyer and Oba Martins' goals were the main reasons why United lifted themselves out of the relegation zone. And the United boss added: "Whenever Kieron is in the side he has the potential to open up opposing defences with one of his quick bursts or one clever little pass. "And there's no doubt in my mind that he is always a potential match-winner for us, no matter where he plays. "When he plays wide out on the right he always has the licence to wander inside and look for the ball, and the only time I insist on him staying wide is when Nobby Solano behind him has the ball." United's trio of keepers, Shay Given, Steve Harper and Pavel Srnicek, are going to do their bit for kids charities early next month. For they will feature in a question-and-answer session at a black-tie dinner at St James' Park on May 8, with the proceeds going to Metro Radio's Just For Kids charity. Tickets for the four-course meal and champagne reception are £65 each or £600 for a table of 10 and can be obtained from United on (0191) 201 8525 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Is it being too optimistic to say that Fat Fred was telling him if he didn't win the next three games he was out on his ear Its being to optimistic just thinking that fat fred will sack him.

Alberto2005 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I don't understand the point of the Roeder slagging, he's here for the season at least, he's going to get money and hopefully that will be spent mainly on the defence and lets see how we do with a better defence and Michael Owen who is without question one of the best finishers in the world,although i'm not disagreeing with Roeder's managerial abilities, if we've done shit at the end of the season he deserves to go but i still don't believe he's done bad enough to deserve a sacking, we're not the team we were with Bobby Robson so stop thinking we are!

thewellander Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Yeah, I'm willing to see what he does in this transfer window and how we do next season. It's interesting to read these articles popping up about who he is defending, since he has already stated that he doesn't like certain players that came to the club before him. I think we're starting to get a clearer picture of who is going to be sold in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 regardless of anything else i'm encouraged to think that as a club we've noticed that "the waiting game" hasn't worked over the past few seasons and we're gonna go in, get the players we want and have everything ready well in time for the start of the season it'd be a step in the right direction - wouldn't it be nice to start the season well for a change with a settled squad rather than trying to fit new people in in september after we've taken 3 points from the first 12 and we're under pressure? that said, for the last few years we've talked a good talk but done the exact opposite so until i see otherwise i'll be expecting precisely f@ck all to happen 'til the last week of august then cue the panic buying again....
