Guest NUFCrichard Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Has anyone heard anything about what Big Sam plans to do with Luque? I always felt that Roeder had a bit of a vendetta against him and didn't mind him failing. For the amount we'd get for him I think he's worth keeping, hopefully Sam can get more from him than Roeder did! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I reckon he's already gone tbh. Wouldn't be against Sam working with him, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Depends if he's one of the "doesn't want to be here" gang or not. For what we'd get for him by selling him, I'd be happy seeing if Sam thinks he can do anything with him. I wonder if that loan to PSV is signed yet?

Guest SLK Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Would like to see if Sam can get the best out of him... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest johnson293 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Would like to see if Sam can get the best out of him... Agree - unlike Bramble who has had loads of chances, Luque hasn't had anywhere near the same sort of opportunities, be it due to injury, or simply lack of selection. If he was only going to PSV on loan, then I think we should try and keep him till January at least, and see Sam can get anything out of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but he hardly got adequate chances to show what he could do under the previous management (s), did he? And under Souness he was Injured most of the time. Even in the midst of the injury crisis, Luque struggled to make the bench under Roeder!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toptoon Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I'd love Luque to come good for us next season. BUT wake up its not going to happen even if he did stay he's not cut out for the premiership exactly like Viana and Marcelino before him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Even Big Sam's legendary powers of motivation would not be enough to turn Luque round IMO. Besides, in Duff we have a better player in his position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stozo Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 As I said in the other post he won't even get introduced to Sam as when he returns for preseason training it will be with PSV. The loan deal was agreed before Roeder was sacked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Besides, in Duff we have a better player in his position. Yeah right and he has shown us this when? If Luque deserves another chance surely someone who has proven they can be quality in this league deserves another chance or is Damian Duff just not foreign sounding enough to excite?

junkhead Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Duff got plenty of chances to prove he can't beat a full back.. and he proved it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Duff could actually benefit a lot from Allardyce being at the club, still think he's past his best though. Depends whether Luque wants to stay I reckon. If he does then maybe Sam can get something from him. If not, I'll lose no sleep when he leaves.

Guest Stephen927 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 His current deal runs out in 2010 I think, so hopefully we'll have a look at him, especially if his time at PSV goes well. Luque sums up Newcastle United's transfer dealings in the past few seasons, overpriced, nothing special and signed without decent scouting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Allardyce has been brought in because he's got many qualities. One of his best qualities is his ability to get players producing on the park. Whether they are toe-rags or short of cofidence - Sam gets them going again. We'd be mad not to let him have a go at turning Luque into a Premier League player. He may not actually do it but it's got to be worth a try before we write off another £9m and give the lad away for next to nothing. Surely we've learned our lesson after Viana?

jackyboy Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Would love to see Luque given a fair chance at it. If he fails at least we will know rather than wondering what might have been. If he leaves now and proves to be a decent player elsewhere I'd be really pissed off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC06 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I think Allardyce is willing to give Luque another chance because he said everyone will get his chance and everyone will have clean start. But i think that Luque doesnt want to be here at all even if we have new manager. I will be very surprised if he stays with us next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
