Some comments on an article
Article from talkofthetyne
Key points to note from it and I totally agree with them.
If Shepherd can somehow pull off the signing of Boa Morte, then with him on the left, Dyer on the right, Emre, Parker and Jenas/Bowyer/someone who isn't a goldfish/mentally deranged in midfield and Shearer up front we should be a pretty decent side going forward.
Actually the midfield looks great now with the likes of Parker, Emre, Dyer, Jenas, Milner, N'Zogbia, Faye able to play. Any additional signings must be of quality to improve the sign, aka Boa Morte, etc..
Admittedly we're a bit short up front but I fancy that Ameobi, now playing free from injury and with a couple of confidence boosting goals under his belt, might regain the form he showed in the Champions League a couple of years back.
It really surprises me, but everyone's selective memory has forgotten what a class act Ameobi has been for the club during the champs league run and England U21s not counting an injury-filled last season. Once again, I got to add this: Ameobi was a more commited/willing to play half-fit player compared to I-came-to-Tyneside-to-sightsee-and-have-some-fun PK. Believe me, once a fully fit Ameobi regains his form and scores in a few games, every Ameobi basher of one season ago will be proclaiming him the next Shearer.
Thirdly, and brace yourselves for this one, perhaps Souness isn't the incompetent Scottish oaf some people say he is. Take his record in the transfer market so far - he's brought in Boumsong, Faye, Babayaro, Parker, Emre and Moore.
Hey man, Parker and Emre came to NUFC instead of Everton and potential Champs League soccer. You think it's totally down to Everton not being a charming attractive club/city. I say part of that is also due to GS and (I dread to say this) FS...
And look who he's got rid of: Bellamy (too loud), Robert (too inconsistent), O'Brien (too crap), and err Aaron Hughes, who is a good utility player but pretty average.
Totally agree with getting rid of the first 3 players. I still think Aaron Hughes, average as he is, is able to provide great cover for our defence. Given our luck with suspensions and injuries, I feel that the defence looks a little thin at the moment and we are going to suffer again near the end of the season when we are pushing for the 2 dosmetic cups and a European place...
It would be nice to think that everyone would just get behind the team, stop booing players, stop slagging off Souness (because like it or not he's going to be here for next few months at least), and support the team like we can.
Yes, pls. Whatever it is, we got to give our full support for the club, hence the players/manager/staff who represent the club at the moment. If we are not the ones shouting 'Toon Army', then who's going to do that? the SMBs? Manure gloryhunters? Nahhhhhh!!!!
It's us, the Geordies!!
(sing-a-long)
We are the Geordies, the Geordie Boot Boys,
Oh we are mental, Oh we are mad!!
We are the loyalist football supporters the world has ever heard~!!
