TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Apparently that Soumare was offered £50k pw. For a £40m signing it's like they didn't really want to sign him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 8054 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) Summer 1997 has to go down as one of our worst transfer windows in history mind https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/newcastle-united/transfers/verein/762/plus/0?saison_id=1997&pos=&detailpos=&w_s=s Sold Ginola, Ferdinand, Beardsley and Elliott. Replaced them with Rush, Barnes, Pearce, Ketsbaia, Tomasson, Pinas, Hamilton and Pistone. We also signed Speed and Given but fuck me, we destroyed that team in the space of 6 weeks Edited March 18, 2020 by Kid Dynamite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 38165 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Speed was a deadline signing later in the season anyway wasn’t he? And while he later turned out to be a great signing, Dalglish played him in the left side of midfield (of course he did). The daft thing is at the end of the previous season Dalglish had stumbled upon a system that worked with Tino, Shearer and Sir Les all playing in a 4-3-3. So he scrapped it (of course he did). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 46829 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 And John Barnes- I was 29 in 1997 and was middle aged by the time he’d ran past the halfway line. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 If anyone on here has an ounce of sympathy for Big Joe because he’s been moved from his natural position of playing on the left to centre forward,think back to the decent job Barnes did when he was also moved from wide left to centre forward .

Expand KK was still manager then I think and we didn’t sign Shearer until the following summer? That was the match when we had about 30 efforts on goal iirc.

Watched it in some bar in town I seem to remember. I think it was our third from last game. If we’d won, then beat Man Utd away (we ended up drawing 1-1 or 0-0 there too I think) we only have needed to beat Forest to win the league.

NJS 4765 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I had a slightly unpopular view on that game - the football was fantastic but I reckon scoring "only" 3 goals out of 30 attempts was a shocking indictment of the strike force 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
