Newcastle United Football Club

i do like newcastle a lot, but our defence is going to let us down again this season, we need a lb, a partner for boumsong and another back up defender, the rest of the team picks itself:

dyer------bowyer----------emre-------------luquw

-------shearer----------------owen

hopefully we can edge out liverpool for 4th, but i doubt it, a top 6 finish though, is a must, otherwise souness will get fired, i personally hope he goes asap, cos he simply isn't good enough

Babayaro is ok, though i still dont understand how Bernard left so easily?

As for a partner for Boumsong, Taylor has outperformed him this season so maybe they should be trying to find someone to partner him instead

Dont you think Parker deserves a place in the side?

I think Souness has made some great buys this summer but even with that taken into account i agree with you, he simply isnt a good enough manager at the top level.

The midfield is solid, that's for sure ... Emre, Parker, Faye and Bowyer will make sure of that. Upfront has obviously been reinforced, but the defence is still shaky at best. Boumsong is either good or bad, there doesn't seem to be a middle ground, the other defenders aren't very solid either.

£4 million of the transfer of Owen will go to Liverpool as Real had only paid £4 million of the £8 million transfer. Plus don't forget Owen's injuries, if he plays regularly he is likely to have an injury, he seemed to have one every season for Liverpool that stopped him playing for 8-10 games or so. He will score for them though, but how long he stays is another matter, i don't think it's too unlikely that he'll be back at Liverpool next summer.

I tell you again, don't trust Emre that much, he is INJURED!

You wanted to add Dyer of course

Dream on

You miss my point Abyss, what i'm saying is that the 4 midfield players i mentioned are all very solid and combative ... whether Emre is injured or not is irrelevant, the fact is he adds hussle to their sqaud.

How many goals do you think Owen will have in him this season?

I think about 20 if everything goes his way, i.e. injuries, how he fits in with Shearer and Luque, etc

If Owen gets 20 it will be the first time he will do so, he has'nt scored 20 goals in a single season at any given season, what i mean is if one only calculates the goals he has scored in the league(not europe or cups) then he has never got to the 20 goal mark, he is simply overrated.

I think he'll get 12 to 15, Newcastle are still a much troubled side even with all the new players they have.

96-97 Liverpool 1 Goals, 2 Games
97-98 Liverpool 18 Goals, 36 Games
98-99 Liverpool 18 Goals, 30 Games
99-00 Liverpool 11 Goals, 27 Games
00-01 Liverpool 16 Goals, 28 Games
01-02 Liverpool 19 Goals, 29 Games
02-03 Liverpool 19 Goals, 35 Games
03-04 Liverpool 16 Goals, 29 Games
04-05 Real Madrid 13 Goals, 36 Games

And that includes all sub appearances as well I dont know how many players have a record as consistent as that but i doubt there are many.
