from what ive seen hes awful, no better than cacapa- although if im fair hes very good in the air. big fella and scores a fair few goals from corners and setpieces

your right, what were we thinking Butt and viduka is what we need

the damage BSA has done to this team is incredible. He nearly took away all of their attacking instincts. He buys in the trasnfer market look awful bar beye. Geremi, Cacapa, Rozenhal really dont look up too it. So bare in mind how small the squad is and also what not up too scratch players we have - I think we need about 6 good players brought in (priority a creative midfielder) and maybe 3/4 out.

Emre can do a bit of a job but has a total lack of range in his passing (never mind the shocking set pieces). Yes the players coming back will make a difference but I'd have cracked on a (and we still might) and got some audacious bids in for true quality. Football now is very much a speculative environment and you really have to match spend and ambition to send the right signals to prospective purchases and recently we have done neither. Even in the summer we spent in real terms and by PL standards a very average amount (this was where the problems started this season). So far KK has let it be known that spending is not an issue but I wonder if he really knows the true costs now of a good player. completely agree

I think he'll start emre when hes fit so if he gets playing to his bes that might be the creative midfielder we need (Que the anti emre comments) I think beye will always start right back when hes back and Taylor and faye dont look the worst pairing in the world. A good left back and a goalscorer would be mint. with the lack of creativity in our team atm. makes you realise how much Nobby used to create through balls for the likes of bellamy. If we can get somebody to do the same for Oba tha's b great

Think its bizzare that his first transfer target was Woodgate and Ive read a quote from keegan sumwhere else saying. "He was the one we wanted to bring in, in january, The first piece of the jigsaw" etc . I'll be extremely dissapointed if we dont sign anyone know tho. And from what I can see its starting to look as if we wont

wheres that quote from?

Skysports.com understands that Newcastle have opened talks about talking Jonathan Woodgate back to Tyneside. In news that will shock many Middlesbrough fans, Boro seem set to let the England defender depart The Riverside. Woodgate rejected the chance to re-join Newcastle in 2007 when he opted instead to pen a permanent deal with Boro - where he had spent the previous season on loan from Real Madrid. However, Woodgate is understood to have become increasingly unsettled with life under Gareth Southgate at Boro and he could now be set to depart his hometown club. With David Wheater and Roberth Huth performing admirably, and with Chris Riggott and Emmanuel Pogagtetz, also available to him - Southgate has seemingly decided that he can do without Woodgate. Woodgate spent 18 months with Newcastle up to August 2004 - when Madrid paid more than £13million to secure his services. Advanced Tottenham are also thought to have expressed their interest, but a deal with Newcastle is much further advanced and Woodgate is reported to have met Magpies officials in the last 48 hours. Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan handed Woodgate his England debut and he has remained a firm fan ever since, with the player still popular with the Toon Army following his earlier stint. Boro paid around £7million last summer to take Woodgate from the Spanish capital and they are set to make profit on the 27-year-old with a fee of up to £9million being suggested. Despite the fact Boro are well stocked in central defence, and they would make money, the move is likely to be met with dismay by many sections of the Boro faithful who are still licking their wounds from Mark Viduka's decision to swap Teesside for Tyneside last summer. they seem to think a deals nearly done.... hmmmmmmmm
