Guest Stephen927 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 We're better equipped to deal with his absence this season. I dream of the day when all of his injury problems are behind him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil K Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 We're better equipped to deal with his absence this season. I dream of the day when all of his injury problems are behind him. Then you're in for a VERY long dream. When someone (like Shepherd says) plays more often for the national team (an exaggeration - but not by much) than the club who pays his bloated wages, then the problem is quite likely to be more the player than the never-ending (and in some cases - suspicious) "injuries" > Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicago_shearer Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 It isn't his fault, but it isn't worth worrying about in the first place. Our striking options make him a luxury. It will be nice if and when he plays, but his absence just isn't the headache it was last season. Martins & Viduka are top drawer international strikers, Smith & Ameobi are more than adequate cover, and who knows if we might even get some goals out of Luque this summer.

Guest Phil K Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I say dump him. I was delighted we got him, but bitter about what little he's done for us, yet rushes back for the national team. Do we need this kind of player here ? (As if we didnt have enough of them to start with - thankfully Sam seems to be sorting this out slowly) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest k0ss Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 "In addition, it appears Oba Martins’ agents have been told to find him a new club – but Owen's injury problems could put a stop to that."

Cajun Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 The one thing in that article that would give me real cause for concern if I were are a Newcastle fan was the comment "Dyer, who is desperate to move south to be closer to his family, last night found his hopes of joining West Ham fading when Newcastle's new owner Mike Ashley bumped up the price from £5m to £7m. ......................... .............There is a feeling on Tyneside that billionaire businessman Ashley is flexing his muscles in one of the first major transfers since he took control." If I were Allardyce I would be seriously pissed off if the owner started to dabble in areas that the manger's recommendation should be followed. If you're not going to follow the advice given by the manager, what's the point of the manager being there? Maybe there is a real intention to get a DoF in and have Big Sam as the Head Coach .................. assuming he would wish to stay to keep that role. Yeah because Jol has never been told what to do! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
