Howay 12452 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 The mackem that reckoned he wasted loads of chances posted something showing he has 9 goals from 60 shots, sounds like he's not too good at analyzing players tbh as a goal every 6ish shots is a good return for comparison David Villa has 18 goals from 121 shots over all the games he played this season (cup and league) and I wouldn't say Villa lacked composure. Seems like a lad just trying to look knowledgeable to me. If he wastes loads of chances and he has scored 37 in 65 games, how many chances are one of the worst sides in the Bundesliga creating for him like?! Even if the mackem has seen this lad's every match his opinion is as flimsy as any football fan's. Aye I thought the same he claims he's watched every game but he was talking as if they were flying high . The second point is key like if this lad was so knowledgeable why are Sunderland not paying him to scout for them, doesn't stop the mackems lapping it up like.

Can you imagine a similar reaction by Newcastle fans if he'd gone to Sunderland? What a bunch of fucking idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust our scout team enough to be excited by this, agreed that their reaction is absolutely mental I posted a link in another thread to them having a thread all about 'let's find targets that knocked them back for us' and included Gardener (I'd never heard us linked to him) and Larsson (who I thought we'd give up on when Birmingham pulled the deal the window before). Either way I don't understand why that matters to them I guess they're back to looking for other things to pick at us over as the few year blip of them finishing above us is (hopefully) over.

We agreed terms with Birmingham for Larsson AFAIK but it broke down due to him wanting too much in wages. Glad we didn't pay overs for him. He's not bad, but he's not particularly good either. He wanted to cash in on the fact that he was available cheaply by securing himself a higher wage, I guess that's now being paid by Sunderland. Edito maximo - Apparently Birmingham pulled the plug on the Larsson deal? Edited January 19, 2012 by OTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Pardew on Cisse from Todays presser... "He was top of the list" last January AND summer. "I thank Mike (Ashley) bigtime" for bring him in now. "He's more like Leon Best. He wants to go in behind, stretch the pitch. Demba Ba prefers more of a link role". Freiburg's PR manager: 'Cisse had a difficult choice, but he wanted to go to #nufc because Ba's been telling him how great the club is.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Been reading several articles tonight - most of them by German correspondents or those with an interest in the Bundesliga - and it really does sound like we've got a pretty special player. I don't know if I was just oblivious to it before but the media and other fans seem to really think we're on to something. So used to negativity from outsiders, feels a bit strange. Even read silly talk about us getting in the Champions League (before and after CIsse's arrival). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 It's a transfer I didn't expect us to make - a signing of real intent, a signing of ambition. The only problem I have with the signing is that he has no experience of the Premier League. And that by signing him we've sadly pretty much condemned Freiburg to relegation. Everything else about him is positive - great pedigree, club is a step up, has something to prove, already has experience of playing alongside Ba, perfect age (one for the now, not the future, but still not at his peak), should complement our strikeforce with something different and he seems like a confident guy. We could have got Maiga/Erdinc and I would have been intrigued to see how they got on (mindful expecially in Erdinc's case of his unimpressive stats) but Cisse is clearly by far the better player so I feel excitement as opposed to intrigue.

Park Life 70 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Thankfully exceptions to this most depressing of contemporary trends still exist. In Newcastle, there remains a childlike fascination with the No. 9 shirt; perhaps the last truly iconic one in this commercialised, sanitised world which passes for English football. It is a shirt which, through the exploits of the various heroes to have worn it, has generated a life of its own. It symbolises the collective hopes and dreams of a perpetually optimistic, romantic football public. Grown, hardened, working-class men are reduced to sentimental, emotional wrecks as they reminisce goals scored, battles fought, matches won. Above all, it conjures a fearsome Jackie Milburn shot rippling the back of the opposition net. Milburn, Ashington born, deserves to be credited with igniting the enduring love affair between the supporters and shirt. A bastion of stoic post-war masculinity, he was a man whom the masses could relate to and idolise in equal measure. The three FA Cups – 1951, 1952 and 1955 - his goals led the Magpies to still linger. Milburn’s record of 200 league and cup goals lasted until 2006. The intervening years saw the legend build. The swashbuckling bravado of Malcolm McDonald exhilarated 1970s Tyneside, before Kevin Keegan’s perfect blend of endeavour and artistry forged a relationship which bordered on the messianical. His industrious zeal resonated with the hard-bitten working-classes for whom St. James Park on a Saturday was liberation from a desperately bleak time in northeast England. His goals transcended them from the stultifications imposed by a ruthless Thatcherite government. Better still, he returned as manager, saving the team from the abyss of the Third Division, before producing a swashbuckling, quixotic team which came this close to winning the most implausible, romantic of Premier League titles in 1996. His commitment to attack in management innately understood the demands of his adoring fans. Little wonder they remain one of the most fondly remembered sides of recent years. Fittingly only one man could break Milburn’s record. Alan Shearer, arguably the prototypical English centre-forward of modern times, led a staggeringly undecorated career. Just one Premier League winner’s medal collects dust in the attic at his family home – even then only earned as a Blackburn player in 1995. No matter, he insists. He happily trades trophies for the satisfaction of living the dreams of thousands of aspirant Geordie boys. Each goal he celebrated in front of the Gallowgate End, he celebrated as a fan. The legacy thus falls to Papiss Demba Cisse, Newcastle’s recent £9 million acquisition from Freiburg. On his arrival, he is not so much a focal point in Alan Pardew’s team as the embodiment of a city’s collective past and future dreams. Football increasingly motivated increasingly hostile to heritage, Cisse is the man with the opportunity to write himself into one of the few enduring footballing legacies. For the sake of romance left in the game,"....... What are your expectations? How should we play to his strengths? Can't wait to see him link up with Demba Ba.

Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) Jackie Milburn was graceful and struck awe into his opponents rather than fear. Hughie Gallagher on the other hand was seen as in agreement with the Beelbezub. Still, our most effective outfield player was McCracken--if football matches were televised, we would not be talking about the likes of Baresi and Maldini: they are nothing in comparison. Cisse I expect a goal in his first year. Edited January 29, 2012 by Kevin S. Assilleekunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
