Can't help but be amused by the fact that Ruud and Ronaldo have a bustup, resulting in Ruud being tipped to leave, then Ronaldo is also tipped to leave, both are tipped to go to Real Madrid, and everyone's forgotten that the main reason both players apparently want to leave is that they don't get along with each other. Would be kind of funny if they both ended up at Real and had yet another bustup there. Maybe then they'd both transfer to Chelsea and have a bustup there. And then -- oh, you know.

[Shoden]

Well Newcastle are giving European hopes in the hands of Albert Luque, if really was a good hitman for the opposite goal in Spain I'd like to see what he can do. Finally seeing him play up front instead of midfield is a good change.

Hmmm, Nistelrooy´s tipped to go to Bayern Munich, right?

I think it's like this at the moment - 30% likely he'll stay, 30% likely he'll go to Real Madrid, 30% likely he'll go to Bayern Munich, 10% likely something else will happen (eg. Newcastle).

Jay!, the swedish player Björn Runström, from Hammarby IF, signed for Fulham today

I would hate Roeder for eternity if he signed horseface. We don't need him, we just need someone who's a decent passer and a sly one for getting in the opposition box, which Ruud never did much. Back when I played the game I was a goal whore until I got set as a defender.

Newcastle have two fit strikers: Ameobi and Luque.

I'd say that you very much need "horseface".

We don't need because
1. He's sheer ugly
2. He's an attention whore
and 3. He looks like a horse.

3 very good reasons to not need him. Ameobi is getting better Luque has his chance to shine and there's plenty of time to jump into the transfer window.

[Psychotic]

Ronaldinho, of course, is a very attractive man who does not seek attention in any way with his silly little Nike adverts, and he doesn't look like a beaver, therefore, Newcastle are very much interested in him. Give me a break.

Ameobi is not getting better. Luque, meh. Wouldn't get into any of the top 5's line ups, and that's where you kids want to be, right? Heck, he couldn't get into the first 11 of West Ham or Middlesbrough.

[Shoden]

He was very, verry good back in Spain, he just lost his touch, once he gets it back he'll be pretty good. As long as they score goals and aren't whiners like horseface then pretty much settled. With Owen out til New Year or Easter we need to get our strikeforce up a bit while building defence, as good as Given is, he isn't a god.

[Psychotic]

IF he gets it back. Just ask Fernando Morientes. And Luque is more of a whiner than Van Nistelrooy, he even bitched about everybody's favourite barcodes, saying they were a long ball team and there was no place for him in it.

...What!? We don't need a striker? Especially a good one such as Nistlerooy just because he is ugly? Are you kidding me?

Ameobi isn't getting better and nobody knows how well Luque will perform this season, we'll have to wait and see. We do need another striker. A good one would be nice, too.

The only part of Newcastle Utd that doesn't need improving is our Midfeild. 3 strikers in total - one of which is constantly injured, the second is useless and the third hasn't proven himself yet - and an awful defence put with a half-decent midfeild most certaintly isn't going to get us anywhere.

[Shoden]

Luque didn't go super emo on ferguson for stupid reasons, it seems Newcastle are running out of targets with Hasslebank going to Charlton. It's defence I'm worried about, who wouldn't be if you had Boumsong as your main hitman in the def departmant? Dyer, Parker, Emre and Solano is a good midfield don't you think? Emre needs time, he's shown he can score goals and set up goals. Like I said I have my reasons. GOOD REASONS TOO!

[Loony BoB]

Ameobi

Who?

Luque

Who?

We don't need him, we just need someone who's a decent passer

It certainly would make for an exciting game if an out-and-out striker was to spend his time passing the ball around all day, yeah. It'd be like watching Chelsea when they're 1-0 up! Perhaps Newcastle should make a bid for Nolan, I hear he can pass.

and a sly one for getting in the opposition box, which Ruud never did much.

What!? Oh! I know. You must have Ruud van Nistelrooy confused with Wes Brown. That's understandable. And clearly the only way you could possibly think that van Nistelrooy of all people never gets into the opposition box. Sorry, Shoden. I just wasn't aware you were blind, that's all.

[Cz]

As much as I dislike Van Nistelrooy, he is a bloody good striker who would be an asset to any team. If I were a Newcastle fan, I'd be honoured to have him, since you're not heading for major silverware any time soon, and there are plenty of other places he could go.
