Guest shaun11177 Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 A definite NO to Raul-i dont want Ashley buying players over the head of Allardyce-give the money if its there to Allardyce and let him decide. If Ashley thinks he has to prove himself to us by buying Raul he has misjudged the Newcastle fans. Just let Sam get on with it-let him decide who we are buying and whether we sell if any offers come in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Not that we would ever get Raul but I would much rather get Eidur instead. A lot lot better option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Blatantly, Kaka (the poster) just rang up NOTW with these quotes. ha ha ha ha ha ha Whatever pal! Aren't you going to feel stupid if we signed Deco/Raul. I'm still not sure why people think this is so impossible. these guys are both 30 this year, which is old but certainly not ancient. Definitely both got a couple more seasons in them at the least. They are both the same age as Henry. Both Deco and Raul have had a lot of success and have played in enough big games to last them a lifetime, I'm not sure it would be that unexpected for them to come to a club like Newcastle for a different type of challenge as they wind down their careers. People keep saying they would have better options but I'm not sure which of the top clubs would really go for these guys. Both Barcelona and Madrid are clearly going in different directions now as they are trying to get younger. If this is indeed true I doubt it is because Ashley wants them. It will be because Sam does. He's done it before with the likes of Djorkaeff, Okocha, Hierro and Campo. With both Hierro and Campo coming from Real Madrid. All these players were great players for Sam at Bolton and certainly didn't go there for one last big payday. If Sam could pull of these moves at Bolton I'm sure he will be able to do the same at Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I think Raul would be the more likely one, though I'd much prefer Deco. Can't see any of the really big clubs in Europe wanting him, as he's obviously not the player he was some years back. If he is to leave Madrid, and I'm not sure he will at all, a team like us could be a very real option. We could sustain his massive wage, which very few other teams that will actually want him could do. I would expect better teams will want Deco though. He's only going to be leaving Barca because he's got Ronaldinho, Messi, Henry and Etoo' ahead of him, it's nothing to be ashamed of. AC Milan for instance would be a hell of a nice destination for him. Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf, Deco, Kaka and Ronaldo would be a very good 6, great balance to them.

Would actually suite Milan's formation seeing as Ancelotti never plays with any sort of width. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Another thing ... both these players would fit into our team if they were played just behind the front two. The 3-5-2 has been mentioned a lot recently and I think it would work in a 3-5-2 lineup. For example ... -----------------------------------Given-------------------------------------- ----------------Beye-------------Taylor------------Rozehnal-------------- ----------------------Barton-------------------Diarra------------------------ ------Geremi------------------------------------------------------Bridge----- ----------------------------------Raul/Deco------------------------------------ --------------------------Owen-------------Viduka---------------------------- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gggg Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Newcastle. 3 at the back. Mental. Actually the 3 up top would be more worrying, not much pace in 2 of em so 1 player doing all of the running. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
