Ally 0 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Have to say like, I'm not sure where all the fuss is coming from in this thread. A move like this wouldn't have been my first choice a month ago, but at this stage of proceedings I'm not too bothered by it. I also suspect that if this lad had gone somewhere else on loan and we hadn't tried to bring him here, that some of those complaining in this thread would be up in arms about it. 188267[/snapback] Aye me too, hope he comes back and bites you all in the bollocks and scores plenty! Anyway i'm off to work, by 5pm I expect a flurry of transfers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catmag 336 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 For those of you who are whingeing - we've not been fit to lace Man Utd's boots for years now, and Ferguson has always been top class at picking out potentially good players. I know this is a kerayzee thought but let's see what he can do before metaphorically chucking ourselves off the Tyne Bridge at this news eh?

manc-mag 1 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Not read the rest of the thread, so has already probably been said, but what the hell are we doing paying for his premiership learning curve? Jesus wept. If we were prepared to take a loan deal to fill that spot then surely there were more proven alternatives-and because it was a loan agreement it wouldnt matter if they were old or owt.

If you haven't come to terms with that yet, you really should. 188296[/snapback] well we got right back up there for one season under Robson. So not quite that long ago. Its a sad state of affairs though. We could all agree that we needed around 6 signings at the beginning of this summer and we can all see we could have done it. It wouldnt have cost a huge amount of money either.Regardless of Rossi's potential talent it just how much of a screw up they've made imo. Thats just not this summer though. We're obviously suffering from the knock on effects of the past couple of seasons. There was plenty of people posting for calm and sensibility then too.

Geordie Boyo 23 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Maybe I'm reading to much into this but with Rossi on loan and possibly another striker still to come in, I wouldn't at all be surprised if Luque is moved on. 188266[/snapback] Now that would brighten things up a bit! I think you lot are lying to yourselves towards how you felt when you first saw so I'm not buying any of that sorry...! As it happens thinking about it now it obviously is a good deal and he should do a job for us up until January with a more permanent solution. However, that says it all about us leaving this till last minute which is what people are really whining about...! What about our defence? Is he going to do the same and risk having to deal with getting two new defenders in January? That would be a little bit too much in taking a chance on different players there and then doing just as good a job. Having said that though I don't think we will do that, but I'm just hoping we don't just sign any fucker in ending up with more unreliable players at the back.

Isegrim 8868 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Well, I could have thought of better alternatives, but considering the circumstances it probably was a sensible thing to do. At least we got some cover in as it was clear that we aren't looking for someone who is considered first choice and to replace Shola. Of course the circumstances are frustrating, but it just shows Newcastle's positon in todays top flight football and where Souness has left after his disastrous spell.

Some more investment at the right time and it could all be very different. I cant see how you can compare it to Spurs and Everton when they did it for one season and we did it for 3 on the trot. Im 100% certain though that theres no way Fergie would have loaned us any players in them 3 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyshinton 59 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I came on here to get a more sensible outlook than on N-O, but it seems the miserable cunts have infiltrated here as well. 188098[/snapback] Realists tbh. 188100[/snapback] Its not realism. It's pointless pessimism and an inability to actually praise a sensible move when you see one. 188105[/snapback] I see it as one through the door, wait and see then criticise.

Guest alex Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I think I'd be happy enough for him to come here given the circumstances now. Seems to prove our transfer dealings have been a shambles in this window though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckypierre 0 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Im not against Rossis move. Ive mentioned before how we never seem to take advantage of frees or loan deals.

We came third, at one stage we had an outside chance of even winning the league, but we blew it, big style. But at least then we were aspiring to match ManU and more than compete with the likes of Liverpool, which should always be a realistic aim at a club of our size. This beggars can't be choosers attitude is all well and good, but it does proove one thing - we are beggars. The best case scenario out of this is that he prooves to be brilliant and scores loads of goals for us. But then what? After 4 months he is back to ManU and we have effectively increased their assets. The worst case scenario is that he is worse than Chopra and has taken out attention away from what we really need - a strong target man with an eye for goal, who we actually own.
