I'm pretty sure Alan Oliver would prefer Baines too - just in case we win a trophy and he can write an article saying it's great to have won a cup with an impressive tally of 5 Englishmen in the squad.

toontownman Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Heinze is the perfect signing if we can get him. Like Beye would slot in well in Fullback or Centre back. Wouldnt be suprised if we were interested, but would be suprised if we managed to sign him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloydie Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Nothing at all in that article. Sam wants a left back. Heinze is a left back. Heinze may want to leave Man Utd. Therefore 'Heinze on the menu for the Toon' Do me a favour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should go for Baines AS WELL as Heinze! Baines still has much to learn, and Heinze is as comfortable in the Centre as out wide, although last seasons efforts were dodgy at best.

Again...really that post wasnt necessarily directed at you...but your post was just a trigger I suppose! No one wants to see dull football...but the point I'm trying to make is that Bolton did NOT play dull football by default. Big Sam planned and executed what he felt was necessary to win the game on the day, according to the players at his disposal on said day. The "Bolton brand of football" imo is merely a myth conjured up by media/fans of bigger clubs who were simply jealous that a team of journeymen like Bolton sometimes gave their superstars a bloody good hiding!

Mr. Snrub Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Geremi Taylor Rozehnal Heinze Fuckin' hell, that'd be a great back 4. I can see him going to Spain, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Bolton are ugly to watch but so are Liverpool and Chelsea. If it's a routine game then I generally never go out of my way to watch any of those three teams play. Still, there are a couple of positive ways to look at it. If, over Allardyce's reign, that football could get us into the Champions League with the riches and pulling power that brings, then the next person in charge will have a base to start building a team that plays brilliant football. Also, I don't think we're going to be quite as cynical as Bolton were, they had to play like that. If we are indeed targetting players like Deco then I think we will definitely see some guile and flair on the field. Steven Taylor is a centre half, so of course he's going to talk like that and so he should. St James' has never been an easy place to come, but we can make it even harder.

ohmelads Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Getting back to Heinze, right now I feel like we need three more signings: A LB (preferably two, but let's be realistic) and 2 CB's. However, if we signed Heinze, we could get away with buying just one more CB and still avoid having Ramage as the 4th choice. Once two of Taylor/Rozehnal/Whoever gets injured Heinze comes across and Baba fills in at left back. Ramage would become the emergency 5th. Of course an advantage of buying Heinze and one other, rather than buying three players, is that we can allow for signing a better and more expensive centre back rather than dividing that money between two more signings. It also makes it easier to rotate and keep the players happy. Heinze has lost his way a little bit, but I'm not entirely convinced by the LBs that people are raving about like Baines and Shorey. I like the look of Baines, but he'd cost a fortune and still needs work. Heinze would be a gamble, but the season before last he was one of the best left backs in the world, loved by Man Utd fans. Only 12 months ago just about any team in the world would have had him. Because of the type of left back he is I think he could have another 5 years left in the game. At £4M we'd be getting ourselves a bargain IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewellander Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I lost a little bit of respect for Heinze for his conduct after Argentina were booted out of the World Cup in 06, but that's in the past. He's exactly the kind of LB that we need at Newcastle, imo. He's experienced, has natural ability, and would have something to prove. If he leaves Manchester United, he will do so because he wants to play first team football and excel. If we can get him for £4-5M, I think we would be ideal at this point.

ohmelads Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I'd say Heinze is perhaps more realistic than Bridge because the club is actually willing to listen to offers by the sounds of it and the player wants out. I haven't seen anything to suggest, this summer, that Bridge wants out or that Chelsea want to sell. In order to get Heinze we'd be relying on the big European clubs snapping up other targets leaving his options limited. IF we did get someone like Deco in then it would severely strengthen our hand. A few have already got their men in place. The main worry would be Real Madrid, who look like missing out on Chivu (set for Inter apparently) and still need a replacement for Roberto Carlos.
