Tom_NUFC Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Aye, Gudjonsson will do. I'll be happy if this comes off, but as ever, its just paper talk right now, so I'm not going to think about it too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jong24 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I think we are at least as big as Chelski, it just so happens at this minute in time they have a rather rich Sugar-Daddy. Obviously Barca are a bigger club than us and there are a few others but don't sell us short, we are a big club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Big clubs are those who win stuff on a consistant basis. We are a well supported, well funded club. Hmm, I'd say " those who win stuff on a consistant basis" are good/great teams. Nottingham Forest have never ever been a big club, they just had a spell where they had an excellent team. You can still be a big club and have a crap team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I reckon he'd fit in a 4-3-3 with Owen and Martins, even though either one of them are used to play as "wingers" in that formation, it could work very well IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobby Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Christmas Tree formation anyone? :lo: Gudjohnsen Owen Martins Emre Butt Parker Bridge Terry Taylor Alves *purely speculative Given Owen would be further forward than Gudjohnsen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaststar Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Owen would be further forward than Gudjohnsen why? In theory, you would have a target man in the most forward position. eg AC Milan and Real Madrid. and in theory u would rather have 2 good attacking mid like kaka playin behind... anyway i don't think Newcastle - let alone any other team will play a X-mas tree formation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hibbits left foot Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Nearest thing to Sir Peter Beardsley imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I hope we do get Gudjohnsen. He has great link up play up front and picks up a decent amount of goals a season. Chelsea should have kept him really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Steven_MB Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 He isnt a massively pacy player, so doesn't matter about age as much! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 maybe I havent seen enough of him, but nearest thing to Pedro is a pretty major statement for me. Whilst Gudjohnsen is wonderfully creative, i didnt think he had the dribble skills or all round flair that Beardsley had and is much stronger, physical player. Will be the missing link since Beardsley retired though, and the creative player we have missed since then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridman Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 A shame, Bobby had the chance to buy him for 4m before he moved to Chelsea but he said paying 4m for a young striker that had never played in the premier league was too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Thought Gudjohnsen turned us down aswell as bent tbh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Superb, quality, versatile footballer who would be an excellent signing for £8m. That is really good value for money as far as i am concerned. He can play in two or three positions in a 4-5-1, including centre-forward which obviously, is something that we could do with. Depending on who's here and who's not - Gudjohnsen would always be the superb partner for the out-and-out goalscorer (whether that's Owen or Martins, or both*), we don't know. Because his vision is exceptional and he just knows the game so well. 28, but has had a massively wealthy career so far in terms of picking up experience and whatnot; starting off with Sam, 6 or 7 years with a consistently good/great Chelsea side, and Barcelona. In spite of how good a season he's had, a year or so at Barca won't have done him much harm! Would love to see him here. *When i say both, he often played behind the strikers as one of the advancing centre-mids, a la Lampard, for Chelsea.

No we were in for him then Chelsea came in and offered higher wages so he went there ahead of us similar to the Zenden situation in that period still managed to finish above them that season though.
