Guest Jungle Barry Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Yes he said all of that, also he and mort intend to push on with negotiations etc in the next week. Said we would find out who will replace dire tomorrow which i think has been mentioned further up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Said he'll be replaced tomorrow no less! That was actually a pretty good post-match interview: - Minimum of 3, maximum of 4 players needed - We are strong in every area but defence - Problems over signings have been the lack of European football - the quality of player he's been looking at wanted Europe and could get it elsewhere - No problems with not getting money ("Everything's fine"). Him and Mort are working together on the signings that need to be made and they hope to "win the battle because it needs to be won". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Northern Boys Love Gravy! Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I dont know if its just me, but im a big fan of Gabriel Agbonlahor... He's got bags of pace/ potential..... I think he would be a perfect replacement, plus he has age on his side.... Why would he leave Villa? coz were better than villa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I cant think of a single squad which has 4, 20 goals per season strikers, we have 3, with shla and Carrol in the wings, i'd say we were pretty comfortable in that area, defienelty needs to go to defenders but the only defender we've really bee linked with in the meadia that i saw was the Drame who's gone to Sochaux(?), i'd be livid if Smith turned up here with a £6m prie tag, i dont understand why there doesn't seem to be many links with dfenders in the media, is nufc being super secretive with there pursuits or are they just plain inactive or is it that Smith is actually a genuine link..... Shola in the wings??? Get to fuck. :lol: What a crock of shit. If we are talking about LEAGUE goals, which is the only real barometer, and what people always meant when they spoke about "20-a-season strikers", we have none. Neither do Man Utd.

Guest goal! Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Surely there are better options than Smith, even if we have to look abroad but £6m come on, bet Derby would be tempted with that sort of money for Giles Barnes. Smith is a fucking pathetic excuse of a replacement for Dyer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sombrero Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 oh let it be deco or sumone of that calibre coming in to replace him! , would be a fab surprise, as smithy isnt in my books of players i admire to see ay tyneside. cant wait for tomorrow!, my patience ran out two weeks ago!! to be honest dyers attitude is shite! especially his attitude! would smithy sign as a midfielder then?

Him and Mort are working together on the signings that need to be made and they hope to "win the battle because it needs to be won". According to someone on another board Allardyce also said: "by the end of today I think a deal will be done for Dyer and that'll solve both our and his problems - Dyer will be closer to his family and I will have that money to spend in the market tomorrow on defenders" Any truth in this or has it been twisted to wind people up?

MArtins is an unknown quantity, pretty pessitmistic to rule out any of our strikers, they seems pretty potent to me, add that to the fact that in recent years defences have been tightened up and you look for about 15-20 goals ebing the number of goals scored to "trouble the premiership golden boot"...then again i could be wrong......
