We let in 3 and basically gave up when he went off.

The guy has held our defence together this season, that's why we've let in the same amount of goals as the mighty Spurs with the might Ledders and Mr England international Dawson at the back.

Oh You mean Ledley who's on the treatment table AGAIN?

After tomorrow it'll have been 17 games without him out of 38.

Whinging about injury problems are you?

When the player is THAT good, you tend to .

Besides we don't have the cash to go spend shitloads on replacements if they flop/get injured.

You don't see me whinging about Owen.

You should be clever and get players on loan, like us.

I like how people say Taylor is shit and then you quizz them and all they can come up with is that hanball moment and the fact that he sometimes get caught out of position. Then you say 'well hes better than *another young defener* and they come back at you with the 'the guys only young' arguement.

Hes 21 FFS and he ISN'T shit

That's because Owen isn't THAT good and you have a ready-made replacement in Martins

And unlike Owen, King has actually played enough games for him to be important to Spurs.


On the subject of Owen... Does he ever actually go to the games on train? seems he does fuck all.

Owen 'isn't that good'?

What exactly qualifies someone as 'good' in your books Roger?

He was before his injury, 7 goals in 11 games for us, now... who knows. Martins isn't like Owen, he's not a poacher.

Do Given, N'Zogbia, Duff, and Dyer count as good players? They've missed alot of games this season.

If he means that Owen isn't as good a forward as King is a defender, then I'd have to agree with him

On the train?

And yes i think he does go to the games, most of the injured players do.

As a striker? Pace, height, strength, heading ability, poacher's instinct, link-up play.

Owen has a poacher's instinct and is a decent header of the ball, particularly given his lack of height. He is no longer quick and was never strong. His link-up play is better than 5 years ago but he's too selfish and one-dimensional to be a second striker.

He's also got a terrible fitness record.

IN MY OPINION He will be a 10-15 goal a season man from now on, and not critical to Newcastle's success or failure.

So for £17m he's 'not that good' in my book. At £5m he'd have been a bargain.

The only thing that worries me about this transfer is Glen Roeder's comments - he's talking about Onyewu being an "impressive person" and "physically impressive"...hopefully a bit more football-evaluation went into deciding whether to sign him, not just the fact that he's a nice guy and tall.

He'll have had words with Puro don't worry.

He's got a point about him being physically impressive though.

6 ft 4 of this...



He's a real "measurement".

Even if this guy does well i don't see him as a long term partner for Taylor, more of a good back up.

Couldn't trap a bag of sand though.

I couldn't care less to be honest, i don't expect him to be a CB with silky skills like Vidic.

i dont think onyewu will be happy with just a back up position though kimbo, hes an ambitious man

Good for him, but he's not at Metz or Standard Liege anymore, he'll have to work his way up.
