Shearergol 0 Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 How long can we keep giving players away for free though? If there's one thing crippling this club at the moment, it's paying stupid money for players who we then lose for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nail and head The was aimed at that fact, Bramble is a capable Premiership defender who imho could be very good with the right management, something we are clearly lacking. This clubs transfer record is dismal in this respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26168 Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 We paid money for him a long time ago and got a fair few games out of him unlike mistakes of Luque, Viana and Cort proportions. Bramble is never going to make it at Newcastle, three successive managers have tried and failed to eliminate the lapses in concentration which make Bramble the liability he is. We're better off making a clean break now as long as we've got an improved replacement coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best news i have heard in decades. Now we can bring in Alex from PSV. Chelsea would be happy to hand him over to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This clubs transfer record is dismal in this respect. Titus has been at NUFC for 5 years now. He's not improved one bit. He puts in the odd good performance, but in most matches he makes mistakes that are just horrible, mistakes that create goal-scoring opportunities for the opposition. You can't afford having centre-backs like him in the Premiership. In my book, the important thing for centre-backs (and keepers, for that matter) is consistency and reliability. Titus is big and strong and good in the air and thus has "talent" but he obviously lacks the concentration and the ability to make the right decisions (he also seems to lack a brain). I'd much rather have a mediocre centre-back (who's never been described as "talented") who just keeps it simple, just like I prefer Steve Harper over Fabien Barthez or David James. The only reason not to let Titus go would be that we need a bigger squad, but with the injuries we always have, he would end up playing 20 or so games even if he would be our 3rd our 4th choice. And that would cost us, as it has in the last 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes the laughing stock of the premership and if someone is stupid enought to want him then thats fantastic news You're seriously telling me that you'd trust Roedent to go out and buy someone better? Bramble has clearly shown he can do it, for fucks sake hes had MOTM or been pushing for it in at least half a dozen games this season. Can the likes of Carr say that? Im no fan of Bramble but I feel hes too easily victimised and has been made a scapegoat for this clubs shockingly piss poor season by many.

Kid Dynamite 5882 Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Bramble at fault (again) for the first goal yesterday. If we pay him a penny more than we have to at the end of the season we deserve everything we get ynext year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
