Superior Acuña Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Just been on SSN, he was very disapointed at what the Chairman offerd him as a contract.. He did much better than I expected, but if Owen & Ameobi was fit all season he wouldn't have got a game. With Viduka joining us he surely isn't needed? I thought he did better than shola when he played. He was far better at linking up with martins Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was far better at linking up with martins How, just HOW can you even begin to make a fair judgement such as that, when you consider Shola played about 2 and a half minutes all season, and was crocked during it? He's not the best in the world but people are just unfair to Shola tbh. If there was ever a pinnacle figure in guiding us to seventh that season, other than the Roeder influence, it was Ameobi. Possibly Solano, but still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 A fully fit Shola would have scored 12-15 goals this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Sibbers wasnt better than Shola tbh. He is neat with the ball sometimes and maybe a little more intelligent than Ameobi, but overall Shola comes out on top for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 A fully fit Shola would have scored 12-15 goals this season. Doubt it. Though merely down to Roeder's tactics, rather than Shola's inability to score many goals. Roeder was intent on playing long ball when Shola was in the side. The lad's injury could have been a blessing in disguise. Saying that... he'd already got 5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd have easily scored at least the same again from then until May even in a crap season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly Solano, but still. Stroller has been playing for Newcastle for 4-5 years now. If you can't decide by now if he's good enough ....... He's not a premiership quality player, or good enough for the aspirations that NUFC have, and IMO it was obvious before he''d even played 2 or 3 games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he'd have been unspectacular due to the tactics and had the shit ripped out of him cos of it. That's what i meant really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Won't even attempt to argue with NE5 or anything, not worth it. Sorry - no offense, but i just can't be arsed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 It's sad that a player like Sib who at least gave it his best can't be kept on, rather than some of the complete wastes of space that we have paid good money to over the years, some of which are still here, including the bloke who's place he took, that still talks a good game but strolls around like he couldn't care less half the time. Did you grow up watching guys like Wharton,Davie Mc, Peter Jackson etc? i was already grown up Luque, Babayaro, Dyer etc could learn from those people mate Peter Jackson was better than some of our recent centre halfs, and Dave McCreery would show people like Jeanarse what tackling is all about, and Parker how to stay on his feet trying to win the ball. Wharton would show Babayaro what a heart looks like too. The Tin man could show Babayaro what heart is too. In fact the cowardly lion could do wonders with Dyer, the scarecrow could help Carr & Ramage out with the brains department and Dorothy could give Martins some new shiny red boots which would take him home in a flash, and he wont keep getting lost in airports.

Wullie Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 haha seen his interview on SSN? "I know I'm not the best footballer in the world". Oh, come on Antoine, stop being so modest! Reminds me of the comments of another one of your former players: "In countries like Spain, a player of my talent would have the team built around them," said LuaLua, who scored two goals last season. For Portsmouth. One of them was a penalty against Watford. "I could be a real No10, when I watch Ronaldinho, I say to myself, 'I can do what he's doing'. And it is annoying because people don't see that I am as talented as him." Wow. Just checked those quotes, they are actually genuine. Harsh to compare that to what Sibierski's said mind, I think it's fair enough to let him go with thanks for what he did last year, but Lua Lua, I'm astonished at that. I can't stand the little bastard anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ridzuan Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Sib is a good honest lad but I cant blame Freddy for not giving him the contract that he wants for obvious reason of course.Hopefully he will have a good time with Wigan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowen Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I was gutted and embarrassed when we signed him. Annoyed wasn't the word. But the fella proved a lot of folk wrong chipping in with some decent goals and his honest approach to the game. He is though limited in his ability but not in his effort. I'll not give him any shit if/when he plays against us. Spot on imo. Top bloke, just happens to not be good enough. Doesn't stop him trying his hardest and giving everything he can, which makes him the legend he is. Wigan is about his level and I've certainly got stronger feelings for him than I have our other player who's recently moved to the same club. All the best Panic Signing.

Cronky Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Looking at the article, at least part of the problem was that Roeder led him to think he'd get a two year deal, and then Freddie offered one year. The latest in a long series of examples of the Chairman and Manager at our club not working together properly. Hopefully, the situation will improve after the Ashley takeover.
