Optimistic Nut Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Yeah what bwould you rather do play in the champs league or play for nufc i know for me it would be nufc Mega difference. Shearer was one of the top 3 players in the world at the time alongside Sammer & Ronaldo. If we'd just finished 12th in 1996, do you think he'd have turned down Man Utd to sign for us? No chance.

Shearer signed for us to win things and to play in the Champions League. Luckily / coincidentally for him, we were also his home-town club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sheriff John Bunnell (Ret Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I cant see woody staying with boro for too long... he needs a season or 2 to get his career back on track then he'll be off... I think boro really are gonna struggle next season and I'd love to see him back playing for us!! But as someone else said he's better off playing for Boro than Man U as far as we are concerned!

toontownman Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Who is he trying to convince with this statement, looks more like himself than anything else. If the smogs sell Yakubu to pompey they will be in trouble next season, no doubt. That said if they manage to snare Tuncay and Castelen they wont have done to bad. Actually think the scum might stay up this time, although there are plenty of other sides that will struggle next season, Wigan, Reading, Fulham, Derby, birmingham, Man City. Will be an interesting year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjmc Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 A dream can soon turn into a nightmare if the side start struggling does he really want to be in a relegation fight when he is pushing back for an england place? Really think he could live to regret resigning, least it shows loyalty to the side which should be applauded Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest eyeball_tickler Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 the only positive thing i can say about southgate as a manager is that he replaced himself very well. other than that, he's just living off the last managers work and they will only go backwards in time.

TRon Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Truth is, no big club was likely to stump up £5m for a talented player with a poor injury record. "Living the dream" probably refers to being guaranteed a a big wage on a long contract - no questions asked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LucaAltieri Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 The cultured 27-year-old central defender is a dyed-in-the-wool Boro fan and stood on the terraces as a boy, cheering on his idols. I'm more interested in what makes a player "cultured" exactly. Because he's travelled? I know plenty of people who've been to Magaluf but it doesn't make them cultured. Anything but. Did those 9 games in Spain really influence his style of play enough to be defined as a "cultured" player? ...or am I just missing something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 People dissing Woody, you sound like the Man Utd fans who dissed Shearer for joining us. Rubbish. When Shearer turned down Man Utd, we were one of a very few clubs in Europe who were at theirs, and Shearer's level. Are you telling me Boro & Newcastle are Woodgate's level?

Guest Knightrider Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 If he truly wants to play for his hometown club which he obviously does then fair play to him, we shouldn't be so dismissive because it's a rare thing in the modern game, players putting the enjoyment of the sport before money and honours, if more players did that the game would be far more competitive ironically and more and more players would taste success, like they did before the Premiership were the level of competition wasn't too great a distance between more than just a handful of teams at the very top. Good luck to the lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say so from what i've seen of him over the past year. Still looks quick on his feet to me. As you said though he's got the brain. Even when he's 34 (if he's over all of his injury problems obviously) and slow he will still be an excellent defender because of how well he can read the game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a class act but whenever I saw him last season he was not the same player he was for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
