Thespence Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Bakari Sagna was sheer class this season as Auxerre right back and also called to the French squad French defenders & Newcastle just don't mix for various reasons. Remember this little lot:Charvet, Terrier, Goma, Domi, Dumas, Bernard, Distin & Boumsong. I may have missed some out, in fact I think our record with Frenchie's always ends up like a major cluster fcuk . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stozo Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Domi, Dumas, Distin and Bernard (before his smack habit) weren't total flops.. I'd actually say Domi, Distin and especially Bernard were very good for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"French defenders & Newcastle just don't mix for various reasons" Domi - Went on strike:http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4161/is_20010114/ai_n9707773 Distin - Often whinged about playing left back & demanded a huge contract to stay Bernard (1st time round) - Took the club to a FA tribunal to try & bugger off to West Ham & asked for the biggest % hike in wages the club has ever known*. Dumas - I am sure he couldnt settle on Tyneside & asked to leave Not all flops on the pitch, we just dont mix. *=Source Lee Clark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest eyeball_tickler Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 "Bolton are set to sell midfielder Kevin Nolan, sparking the interest of Everton, West Ham, Middlesbrough, Manchester City and Sunderland" if we do get the millions to spend from the owner we'll be after him.

JH Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 i think sam wants rid of owen, thats why he has came out and stated that there is a release clause in owens contract. If he wanted Owen out, he wouldn't have said: "The speculation surrounding Michael will be resolved as soon as possible. You don't want to lose your leading goal-scorers." when he first got the job. I think he definitely wants Owen to stay but knows Owen wants away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo_11 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 "There's nothing I can do about it," said Big Sam. "We are benefiting from a release clause to get Joey Barton, but could suffer because of Michael's." But with the Premiership's top clubs likely to want further proof of his fitness, Owen may stay put at Newcastle until at least January, when his release fee - which drops by 25 per cent a year - would stand below £9 million. If this is the case i would sell Owen now, Parker wanted away and i think Owen wants away as well. Theres nothing we can do and with Man United in for a striker (according to Gill) they might bid for Owen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Dumas was a flop. Not necessarily his fault but he was still a flop. How the fuck can a player who plays a handful of games then goes back to France not be a flop? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
