Brock Manson 0 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Play him every game and see how he manages. Although if his club are asking for silly money then get rid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInspiration 1 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I would sign him for 50 Cent tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Get rid and pull out all the stops to bring Woodgate in instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34461 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 The whole trial thing has been a waste of time as he's been playing in a bad team for a bad manager in a constantly changing back 4. I have no idea whether he's any good or not, and I doubt Roeder does either, and under those circumstances, you can't give him a contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8989 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 if he was better than what we have he'd surely have stood out? As of yet he's not and has looked shaky and fragile just like the rest of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordie the Geordie 0 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Apart from a few bollocks yesterday I think he did well with some important tackles seems a lot more stable than bramble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 8870 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 For a decent price (< 2m) I would take the risk if he can sort of prove himself until the end of the season. He had an awful start yesterday with some suicidal sloppy passes, but got better into the game later. If we're hopefully getting rid of Bramble and Moore he should at least make an acceptable back up player for Taylor and some good leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34461 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 When we first got him over here man, and Roeder's brainwave was to drop Taylor and play him alongside Bramble. Fucking brilliant, Glenn. So not only are you asking him to prove he's a good defender, which is all but impossible at NUFC anyway, you're asking him to do so playing alongside the world's first surviving brain donor. Jesus wept! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menace13 0 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 He's out of contract in the summer isn't he? if so sign him for back up, and get rid of Bramble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Made a couple of suicidle passes on Saturday as well when he came on, one of them was especially awful. I'm not convinced personally, I just think he'll give us exactly the same problems Bramble has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fop 1 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Get rid and pull out all the stops to bring Woodgate in instead. Aye no comparrison to the likes of Woodgate, maybe not even to the likes of Wes Brown tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 8870 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 (edited) Made a couple of suicidle passes on Saturday as well when he came on, one of them was especially awful. I'm not convinced personally, I just think he'll give us exactly the same problems Bramble has. Possibly, but as I have given up hope on Bramble ever being able to learn cutting out the mistakes (at least as long as wearing a black&white shirt), I would give Onyewu the benefit of the doubt. The thing is that we probably cannot afford to lose three central defenders as there is likely to be only money to sign one really good one. And as said from the choice between Bramble, Moore and Onyewu I would opt for the latter. Edited April 10, 2007 by Isegrim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Hog 336 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 He's out of contract in the summer isn't he? if so sign him for back up, and get rid of Bramble. Nope one of the conditions of him signing for us on loan was him signing a one year extension so he couldn't just come here then walk on a freebie. Not sure about him at all. If he was available for next to nowt then I'd say go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathras 234 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I hope he leaves. He'll get better development as a player elsewhere. NUFC needs someone who has already developed as we're hopeless in bringning along a defensive talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye no comparrison to the likes of Woodgate, maybe not even to the likes of Wes Brown tbh. Would love to see Woody back at the toon he was always solid and great at marshalling the back four but do you think he,ll leave Boro his boyhood team..? I thought Moore was off back to OZ at the end of the season anyway..? Bramble...who,s gonna buy him off us..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUFC needs someone who has already developed as we're hopeless in bringning along a defensive talent. This isn't some 17 yearold fledgling talent Zath, the "kid" is nearly 25, he's either good enough or he isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19824 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 i'd like to see us sign a couple of hard-as-nails cynical italian defenders personally. not convinced by gooch from what i've seen, albeit not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 4855 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I've been really impressed by Taylor recently. Hope is coming of age. Seems to lead the defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 31 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I just dont think he is what we need. I dont see him as being better than Bramble really. We do need a new centre half though. Someone more clinical though. Someone who is loud as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 133 Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 He's been expected to hit the ground running, which might be unfair to any new player to the Premiership, and Roeder's team selection hasn't helped him one bit, I'm not convinced either way, but I'll be pissed off if he stays in the Premiership with another club and is a sucess.

@yourservice 67 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Get shot of him! you can just tell looking at him he aint gonna be what we are looking for,another Boumsong and Bramble rolled into one imo,looks clumsy and indesisive never liked him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gejon 2 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 May aswell keep Bramble rather than spending a few million on him. Neither are good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
