this is not my point, what I'm saying is that if you become too one dimentional teams who want to get a point from you will know how to. Similarly teams that go one up against you can just sit back and play on the counter.
This is my "point"

good signing for Newcastle, i'm sure he'll do well, not sure if he can get 15-20 goals though

He can, if played regularily. Maybe not in his first season in the EPL, but next season, I wouldn't expect less...

GUARANTEED IMO, it looks like Roeder is using the Keegan/Robson approach to football that Liverpool fans hate so much.
No mention of Liverpool until that point...
That wsa a dig at the negative comments from Liverpool fans, the kind of comments you lot always make when another club makes a progressive signing.
@ Blunine
I like this bit.

Martins will get plenty of goals in our system, in fact i'm so confident that i've already put him in my fantasy football team. He'll compliment Shola well, those 2 will be a very good partnership.

About Martins injuries - there was the incident when a Roma player broke his foot in 04-05... still can't believe Morastti signed Ibra and sold Oba.
As for Ameobi > Crouch, I'm a believer, but I don't rate either of them that highly.

An honest question to the Toons here. How the hell does your club afford these high transfer fees. Last season you had Owen and Luque for 25m plus. Admittedly you pulled off a killer deal by selling a croaked defender to Real Madrid for nearly 15m. But still your overall spending is quite high and you dont have a sugar daddy. Are you guys accumulating more debts?

High income, we are the 11th/12th richest club in the world WITHOUT european football, when we were in the CL we were 9th. In fact our income is around £30m higher than Spurs income. We have a kind of wage cap, a certain percentage of that income is set aside for wages and apparently Freddy is quite strict with it. If you think about it we have 52,000 spectators every week and we have quite high ticket prices, and we're the 5th biggest draw on sky.
That said i do think we went a bit over the top under Souness, that showed when it turned out we had made a loss that year(by a few million). But then we didn't spend much when we were in the champions league and we had made very healthy profits for a few years so i suppose it doesn't matter too much.

Yes, Kimbo - Newcastle are more cash rich than Spurs, and probably have twice the payroll.
Our highest earners are:
King £50k/week
Davids £47k
Keane & Defoe £35k.
You spend close to £200k a week on Kieron Dyer and Michael Owen alone

I know Owen is injured, but why buy Martins? He is a black version of Owen when he was younger minus the shooting ability. I can just see the two playing together HOOF and run after.

To partner Ameobi, Owen isn't in our plans... and he won't be for a long long time.

Suspected thigh problem I think. I think the incident was quite innocuous, he just seemed to jump and fall awkwardly.
