Dr Gloom 19822 Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 i felt compelled to add this, especially in light of last night's performance: "Even when Manchester United were bringing the likes of the Neville brothers, Ryan Giggs, David Beckham and Paul Scholes through, they did not have the numbers that we have here at the moment. It goes without saying that our planning and long-term strategy, which was started with Glenn Roeder at the Academy and has been taken on by Joe Joyce, is finally paying off."

Craig 6302 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 "Our recent record shows we can be trusted to deliver quality players. I'm not going to say too much at this stage but I think the fans will be pleasantly surprised at what results from the Woodgate deal. We didn't go into the Woodgate transfer without a long-term plan. All will be revealed soon." And the link: Shepherd in spending pledgeSunday, 22 August, 2004 Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd says the £15m from Jonathan Woodgate's sale will be used for team building. Shepherd said the decision to sell Woodgate to Real Madrid was his as the offer was "too good to turn down". He told the Sunday Mirror: "We did not go into the transfer without a long-term plan and our record shows we can be trusted to deliver quality players. "I am not going to say too much but I think fans will be pleasantly surprised at what results from the deal." Shepherd also admitted that Woodgate's recent injury record was instrumental in his decision to sell the England defender. He said: "Jonathan is a great player but he has been dogged by injuries. "He has been unlucky in that respect but, as someone once said, there is no point having a Rolls-Royce if it spends most of its time in the garage. "We hope Jonathan will get over his injury problems and go on to have a long and successful career with Real and England. "But I won't pretend that his appearance record at Newcastle wasn't a factor in our decision to sell him. "He hasn't played for us since April and was going to be out for at least another month. "When I weighed up the pros and cons it was obvious we had to accept the offer." However, Newcastle boss Sir Bobby Robson said that Woodgate's sale was under protest. Robson revealed: "The chairman informed me a bid had come in for Jonathan and I said to him: 'You're aware I don't want to lose him, aren't you?' "I told him: 'You are aware we will be losing the finest centre-half in the country?' "I always wanted to fight and keep him but when Madrid came in I knew it would be hard. "But quite simply, if it had been my choice, I would have kept him. "We've lost a great player and how much of a blow that is will depend on who we can get to replace him."

Especially now knowing that what we got out of the Woodgate deal was a half arsed bid for Rooney and eventually Boumsong. The Shearer one still gives me a chuckle, mainly because of the 'seven bells' bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
