Tooj 17 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 (edited) Albert Luque has revealed his frustration at his lack of first team opportunities at Newcastle. The Spaniard is well down the pecking order at St James' Park and has made only one appearance in The Premiership this term. Luque has struggled to show his true form at Newcastle since his big-money move from Deportivo La Coruna last summer. The 28-year-old is not happy with his current situation and has hit out at Magpies boss Glenn Roeder for not giving him a chance. "I'm not happy because the coach isn't giving me opportunities," Luque told El Mundo Deportivo. "I don't know if he likes my style or not. All I know is that the person who brought me here is no longer around and I can only try to win over the new coach. "I believe I could contribute a lot, but the situation will be difficult to change because the coach's confidence is in other players. "I've never been in this situation before. "I signed for Newcastle to play football. I don't want them to just give me money, I want to earn it on the field."

Isegrim 8868 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Well Alberta, if you think you are treated so harshly, then stop running around like a very poor female footballer every time you are actually been given an opportunity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17628 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I liked the comment about him in tf this month. Some have compared him to a Benidorm waiter, but this is unfair on the waiter as they work hard and frequently score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyG 0 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I agree with him on this, its pathetic how Sibierski and Rossi are getting played ahead of him, give Luque a chance, you never know he might be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What? Chances like he got against Villa? Nearly every time Alberta has been on the pitch, he has done absolute fuck all to warrant another chance. Of course it's harsh to drop down to 5th choice in the pecking order. But pathetic? The only pathetic thing so far has been Luque's effort.

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 If he looked even slightly interested when he does come on he might even start a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaser 1053 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 He can talk the talk but when it comes to letting his football do the talking he's lost for words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8950 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 he hasn't the pace, nor speed of thought for the premiership. probably sell him for fuck all in January to a spanish club, where he'll go on to score a hatful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg 6 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Been back from todays game a few hours now, (living in Manc) and for some bizzare reason Albert Luque spent the last 20 mins of the game warming up, despite the fact we had made all 3 changes allowed... hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Boot Boy 0 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Whether you wanted them or not, if you have lemons, make lemonade, don't leave them unused on the kitchen table until they go rancid. In other words, Roeder should be looking at ways to involve Luque more. Try to get some bang for our (millions of) buck(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To extend your analogy, if your lemons are rotten, use them for compost ie play him in the reserves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it can be extended further in that you can take some bitter, yellow mediterranean fruit, and create something rather refreshing, sharp and fizzing.

Or maybe like how sampling a lemon can have you screwing your face up in the same way that Luque's performances can. Notice how I used sampling rather than sucking.
