Optimistic Nut Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Why when Newcastle didn't even mention the bid...it was Everton who told the media they'd rejected a bid from us. It was only after that when Shepherd & Robson came out and said they were trying to buy him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon55544 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I wasnt embaressed at all, I think it was genuine and i was gutted when we didnt get him. Newcastle try to get one of the best young players around and instead of fans being excited they are embaressed. What a unique club this is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think people realise just how close we were to actually signing him. TBH i dont know how close we were but i do know Rooney was keen until Manu came in and as soon as i seen the yellow info bar come up on SSN about Manu bidding for Rooney i knew we had no chance. FS had nothing at all to gain from bidding for Rooney with no intent, What would happen if Everton excepted? It would all back-fire on FS and i expect there is some rule where Everton could of sued us for unsettle or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I even remember the Rooney press-conference when he signed, Sir Alex said he had no intention of buying Rooney that summer but the next, but the fact we bid for him forced his hand as he didn't want to lose out.

He didnt miss out we did!!! Rooney is by far Manu best player and IF we had got him i wonder where we would of been today because Rooney would of changed our whole team.

Optimistic Nut Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Another point is, after Robson's sacking, would the likes of Allardyce have turned us down with Rooney in the squad? Souness mightn't have even been here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton would have gone into administation if they didn't get some money for Rooney. Billy Liar Kenwright phoned up his fatty mate up to force the sale of Rooney through that year before it was too late. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 If Bellamy hears they've signed Kuyt that'll be the end of him going to Liverpool. "Craig Bellamy needs to think about Craig Bellamy and Craig Bellamy needs to be playing first team football. The bench is not the place for Craig Bellamy." will be along the lines of what he has to say on the matter. Amazing how many people backing Bellamy by saying he loved us seem to forget this quote from when we bid for Rooney. we'd just signed a striker a few weeks earlier (kluivert) and bellamy knew there was another striker at the club who was literally undroppable. in that context he said "I love playing for Newcastle and I love everything about the club, but if Wayne Rooney comes, I will have to review my position because I am not sitting on the bench anywhere. "I like Wayne Rooney a lot because he is a great player. He is my sort of player and it would be great for the club, but no good for Craig Bellamy. "If he does come, I will have to consider my position." Were you posting that in support of Bellamy, because I'm sorry, but that still makes him look like a prick IMO. "Sign one of the best players in the world eh? Well not if you want me to stay at the club you won't." Exactly, Bellamy doesnt like fight for his place. Wouldnt suprise me a few people on here would have Bellamy before Rooney. Bellamy is the greatest striker to have ever graced the game so its goes without question! Apparently....

Amazing how many people backing Bellamy by saying he loved us seem to forget this quote from when we bid for Rooney. .................... when confronted with the possibility of non-guaranteed selection for the 1st team - ie. following Kluivert's arrival, with a Kluivert/Bellamy 1st choice strikepairing on the horizon - didn't Shearer similarly question his own future at the club. Yet Shearer's "love for the club" hasn't been similarly compromised in many a supporter's eyes. Perhaps it's a case "hear no evil, see no evil" where certain individuals are concerned. From nufc.com's Match Reports. Alan Shearer told the Chronicle: "I think it would be great if we signed Rooney. "He will be a fantastic asset and a great investment for this football club. "It would be a great coup for the city and for the club if we can attract him here. "If he is thinking about going abroad to Real Madrid or whatever then he can do that in four or five years time. He is only 18 and he is still effectively learning his trade. "He will only be 22 or 23 in four years time so he's got plenty of time on his side and I think it would be a great step for him." "Obviously it's all up in the air at the moment. Yes he would put my place under threat. It would put everyone under threat. So what? "If he can come in and do well, then great. It's always been the rules of football if someone comes in and does well, you support him and say well done. "We are all in it for this football club and if Rooney comes in and improves us, then we are all for it and I am 100% behind that. "If we can get him it would be brilliant." The comments i refer to, when Shearer in a decidely more eloquent and media friendly manner left a distinct impression that he'd indeed look after his own interests in the event of SBR no longer guaranteeing him regular 1st team football, took place earlier in that particular transfer window ie. around the time of the Kluivert transfer. Somebody will find them although i'm certain they won't be found on dot.cock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Man in Black Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 a lot of talk around Anfield at the minute that a fee has been agreed between Liverpool and Feyenoord, and that thw players agents are an advanced stages in the contract negotiations. nothing nailed on yet, but it should all be tied up in the net week to 10 days, as Benitez and Rick Parry are apparantly going to Germany to speak to him over the weekend, after the Bellamy deal has been sorted out tomorrow.

Tachikoma Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Kuyt doesn't look very impressive in the dutch squad to be honest, but he also looks like he's completely out of position. He is a better left winger than the legendary Shola however Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
