Optimistic Nut 9 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Forssell did well last season like! 188200[/snapback] He was sh*te last season, but the inital season where Birmingham took him on loan, he was excellent. To me this just as likely to go that way, than say a Carlton Cole to Charlton type thing. Worth the risk that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stinks of panic. Plus the fact that it's maybe hitting home that we're a lot smaller than we were a few years ago, when we actually competed with Man United.

It's the backwards move in terms of ambition I have a real problem with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no doubt that one day he'll be a fantastic player, but he's not the player we need before January. Still, it gives Glenn more time to scout Kuyt.

Craig 6307 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Newcastle fans wanted to sign Forssell, not loan him! In the same respect a lot of us wanted Gudjohnsen this summer who also, it seems, had become somewhat of an outcast.

If anything, it's just buying a bit of time until that happens. I can't see anything wrong with this deal whatsoever. Who's to say there'll not be another one in tomorrow anyway?

Optimistic Nut 9 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Even so, one stop-gap until January, another until June...let's be realistic, we can't afford to splash out on another permanent player, especially when that player in 12 months time will probably be warming the bench.

Shearergol 0 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Sir Alex Ferguson has spent the past 48 hours weighing up requests from Newcastle, Blackburn Rovers and West Bromwich Albion to borrow the 19-year-old striker and has seemingly decided Rossi will fare best under Glenn Roeder's management. During a conversation with Ferguson this week Roeder stressed his excellent record in developing young players such as Joe Cole, Michael Carrick and Jermain Defoe at West Ham United, and he has apparently persuaded Ferguson to do business. Ooh, perhaps not the panic we thought. We went for him 2 days ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
