Dragon55544 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 4-5 isn't really that many when you see how small our squad was BEFORE we released 5 today! I thought it was 4 or 5 on top of we we get rid of Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I do hope Big Sam has Tal Ben-Haim all tied up. Kinky. Noo! I meant tying him down to a contract! Whatever floats your boat. Given our already limited squad size, we'd have to bring in around 9-10 faces this summer if we want to push on from this season's finish IMO.

Dinho lad Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Well done Sammy boy! Glad that waster Bramble has finally left. Unbelievable that he lasted here for that long. Good riddance! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloydie Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 All this 'oh it's a breath of fresh air' stuff. Anyone seriously think at least 4 of those wouldn't have gone under Roeder? Srnicek, Bramble and Moore were already out of the door, and I doubt both of Titus and Gooch would have made the cut, and quite possibly neither. Still, it is a good sign. Wonder what he makes of Ramage? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 This news really made my day, out with the stinking crap and in with the replacements a.s.a.p Now just 2 more players to be kicked out before I'm super duper satisfied http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/3601/gallery3copyfb3.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon_Crazy Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Delighted with this start Sam's making! Hopefully it won't be long till a few more leave and the Allardyce era begins with a few top signings!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I've only been a fan for three years, and I've only been a member of this board for several months, but this is the most optimistic I've ever seen this place. This is also the first time I've actually trusted the manager. It's mid May, and I already find myself waiting impatiently for the next season.

Toon Amy Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 <no links to football related videos> (including the very best of Titus Bramble) A good start by Sam. Very pleased with this news. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 God damn, he was shitty, but I just can't help feeling bad for the guy. He always had that pitiful face after he shit the bed. He was here so many years that I'm surprised that compilation was that short. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is also the first time I've actually trusted the manager. It's mid May, and I already find myself waiting impatiently for the next season. i'm in a sort of similar situation. I started following the toon at the end of the season with finished 5th, and of course robson only lasted a few games into the next season, and we then got souness and roeder. I am really looking forward to a good, orginized side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I'm not sure how much it was Sam's decision to release these 5, obviously he had a final say by I certainly think he would have been heavily influenced by the advice of certain people already at the club, especially when it came to Gooch.

GM Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Off all the managers currently in the Prem, I'd have imagined Sam stood the best chance of turning Bramble into a decent self-confident player. Still, seems like Sam also recognises you can't polish a turd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leazes1986 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Its been an absolutely brilliant couple of days to be a Newcastle fan. Remember all of the doom and gloom a week or so ago. Now we've got a quality manager and we've got rid of a few clowns and its given all massive hope blueyes.gif People need to realize that Bramble will never be a quality defender. He has the physical attributes, but he doesn't have the mental ones and he will never have them. Its fair to say he will have his best two games of the season against us next season, but who gives a shit? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mishka17 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 pleased to see bramble and company going out. someone can say that realising 5 players from our thin squad isn't a good idea. from these 5 we mostly used only bramble-bernard had a paid holidays in doctors office, moore injured aswell, played some, but with no impression; pav-know his role at the club, gooch-had a shot in the club, few games-didn't work out...and finally titus bramble...i even don't wanna write about him.... so, in sum up, it's similiar to souness clear out. he realised mcclen, hughes and few others. the good point is that he removed total unnecessary players from our club, too old or too weak. hope he will further reorganise our defence in near futher and won't sign shite players like boumsong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
