Guest TheOrder Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I'll hoping for Campbell-Ben Haim. But thinking it will be Taylor- Ben Haim. Chuffed either way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I think in a lot of away games against up and at 'em teams, we'll see Taylor at right-back to deal with long balls, and whatever centre-backs we sign in the summer in the centre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Campbell - Ben Haim would be very tasty. I'm not too sure about Hyypia now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JamesD Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 definetly want to see taylor starting. I don't care, should we get someone better. i think he's at the point in his career where he's ready to start. certainly earned it. i'd like us to get one CB who is in his prime(25/26ish), and one experianced player who can come in and be steady.

Newcastle Fan Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I am hoping for a Campbell-Taylor partnership but if we manage to get two decent center backs and then rotate between them and Taylor that will be even better.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ready to start or not, we should play our best players. If we got Ben Haim & Campbell for example, Taylor could warm the bench thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Would like to see a Campbell + Ben Haim pairing. Taylor makes too many mistakes for my liking (which is understandable, given his age) but he will get better from working with Campbell every day. Bit of a long shot naming those 2 bearing in mind neither has actually signed but I'm hopeful both do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC06 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Im hoping for Taylor-Campbell but the more likely partnership will be Taylor-Ben Haim If we sign both Ben Haim and Campbell that would be the ideal scenario Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I think it will be Ben Haim/Taylor, which i would be happy with. I'm disappointed that we're not being linked to Andrade though, the guys been wanting to leave Deportivo(christ they're bad these days, unbelievable) for a while now and it looks like Barca probably won't be making a bid. A Portuguese chap i know reckons he would be interested. It's a shame because he would be the perfect signing. :'( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good defender but also its a little bit risky to sign him. He might turn to another Boumsong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't take the risk, get Ben Haim (free) and Hyppia/Campbell (cheap) instead. Those 8m would be better spent on a left back and tightening our midfield.

He's a top 15 CB in the world IMO, genuine class. If we got him, Ben Haim, Viduka, and a left back(for 4-5m) i would be a happy boy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest maznislav Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 If we sign Hyypia or Campbell, I think this will be the best for our young central defenders. Both of them are great players with a lot of experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredbob Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 What kind o defender is Ben Haim, to be honest i haven't reall sen anythn of him. I think the best defensive partnerships are one where one defender is good on th ball and can bring the ball out of defence, has good anticipation etc....a ferdinand or woodgate type player, for me i think taylor could be that type of defender, the other partner needs to be a wall, someone who is commited and brave someone like campbell or terry.Any type of defender who is a wall would be perfect for this team.

Guest NUFCnutter Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I would like to see Taylor and Ben Haim ideally, but if not I think Hyppia and Taylor would be a good pairing, as we desperately need some height in the back four, and I think Hyppia still has a couple of good years in him.
