Gemmill 35330 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 If we can get our money back, I'd sell him in a flash. I just get the feeling he is a luxury we can't afford .........69836[/snapback] a bit ironic considering your dog like devotion to the moaning french whinger. If Luque went running to the papers every other week you would give him more of a chance I guess 69942[/snapback] If he fell out with Souness he would become Renton's bestest favourite tbh.

luckypierre 0 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 if Luque had actually contributed anything it might be different tbh ... and Im not jumping to conclusions on how crap or not he may be. He hasnt had a chance yet to really show what he can do. It does seem strange that he hasnt figured at all recently and its not like Souness has previous on just suddenly changing his mind and snubbing players..

If Luque went running to the papers every other week you would give him more of a chance I guess 69942[/snapback] If we could be sure he would score and create anywhere near as much as Robert did for us I'd definitely want to keep him. I just don't think he will. And I couldn't give a shit what he says to the papers, especially if it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously he suffered an awful injury with his hamstring, and personally I think he's come back quicker than he should have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakehips 0 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Dont panic Capt Mainwaring! Bert is being deliberately held back by El Supremo. He (Bert) will be unleashed by the tactical wizard that is Graeme Souness against Liv'pool, with tactics so up-to-date and revolutionary that the Scousers wont be able to cope. If Souness has a last minute change of plan though, expect Luque to play on the left midfield instead of CB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo 133 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ted/4549444.stm Newcastle deny Luque exit rumours Albert Luque has had little to smile about since joining Newcastle Career stats: Albert Luque Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd has rejected media speculation linking Albert Luque with a move back to Spain. The 27-year-old striker joined Newcastle for £9.5m in the summer but has only made a handful of appearances after suffering a hamstring injury. "These stories are just rubbish," Shepherd told Newcastle's website. "I don't know where people get the idea from that we'd consider selling a player we worked so hard to sign only four months ago." Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid were both reported to be interested in signing Luque in the January transfer window. But Shepherd insisted Luque - who has a five-year deal at St James' Park - was part of the club's long-term plans. "Why on earth would we do that? Albert has only been here a short time and the best is still to come from him in a black-and-white shirt," added Shepherd. "He is regarded as one of the best players in Spain and we think he will be a big player for us, so these stories are ludicrous." Luque, who has won 17 caps for Spain, picked up a hamstring injury against Fulham in his second appearance for the club on 10 September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one small niggle which was pointed out to me which I'd love him to answer... Albert Luque signed for Newcastle United in August 2005 when the 2005/06 season had already begun.

Either way Newcastle now seem sure to be sellers, clawing back some of their cash for boss Graeme Souness to re-invest on other positions in the next transfer window Which certainly isn't possible.

LeazesMag 0 Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 It sounds like a right load of old bollocks. "Spanish flop"..."a nightmare time"...the bloke who wrote it should be ashamed picking up his wage every month. 69750[/snapback] Alan Nixon - old hander from the sunday people, which for years has consistently provided arguably the most prominent and correct transfer market information. Nowt like snob treatment of newspapers who actually have staff that are interested in football, rather than those who are probablY educated at rugby playing public schools, such as Henry Winter or other more politically dominated newspapers ie journalists that know nothing about football. The morale being, read papers staffed by people who nowt about football, and ........ Time will tell. Whether there is truth in this or not, who knows, but i suspect such dismissiveness of it is down to the fact that it would be a blow to be proved wrong about him, having said how wonderful he would be, based purely on fuckwits say so, rather than take the more realistic stance that replacing players such as Bellamy and Robert was always going to be such a huge and difficult task, certainly way beyond the reach of the pathetic fees fuckwit was responsible for us getting for them. Fact is, so far, he has been a disaster. If not, why has he not even been preferred to Hameobi instead of sitting on the bench ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that reverse snobbery? 71275[/snapback] no, I'm not, I'm saying i don't discount anyone based on the papers they write for, to do so is narrow minded. What i am also saying is i read them first, and find some of them who do write for the so called quality press ie Winter, Bose [?], are jumped up tossers that know shite all See my sig. Thats also taken from the mirror. Shame that those who still support fuckwit didn't first/earlier read articles by a journo who knows what he is talking about, also from the eeeerrrr...

Craig 6321 Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Fucking hell Leazes, you've surpassed yourself... A thread about Luque and inside two posts you've managed to reference Bellamy, Robert and Souness Alan Nixon may be an 'old hander who has for years has consistently provided arguably the most prominent and correct transfer market information' but this time he's talking complete and utter tosh! It's not possible for Luque to be sold this season - transfer legislation prevents it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
