Toon_Crazy 0 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Would you like to see Owen in a toon jersey alongside Big Al or would you rather Kuyt who has an impressive goal tally but is unproven in the premiership. I think I would prefer who wants to be here, no point in getting Owen if he doesn't want us. But then again who says Kuyt will want to sign for us if Sheperd makes a bid. (which will be turned down, final bid made and rejected, deal is done.. usual shite.) And then we will up the offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6682 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 TBH I'm not that fussed which one it is, so long as we do buy another decent striker... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Buy Kuyt and get Owen on a season long loan. Am I being greedy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikko 20 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 TBH I'm not that fussed which one it is, so long as we do buy another decent striker... 19101[/snapback] Exactly my sentiments too. Both players have their advantages over the other. Owen is proven in the league, but is likely to want away for bigger things pretty swiftly. Kuyt has an excellent record in the netherlands but that doesn't count for much here, if he came and was successful i think he's less likely to want away so soon and he'd be cheaper to sign.

Gemmill 44894 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I know next to nothing about Kuyt if I'm honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I know next to nothing about Kuyt if I'm honest. 19107[/snapback] I'd have concerns about him being overpriced and his ability to perform in the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohh_ahh_Shearaa 0 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Kuyt.....not sure if Owens heart will be totally in it!....especially when he plays against his second choice team Liverpool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon_Crazy 0 Posted August 26, 2005 Author Share Posted August 26, 2005 I know next to nothing about Kuyt if I'm honest. 19107[/snapback] Same here really. Owen is proven and if we get him the chances are he won't leave Newcastle. As Man U won't come in, Arsenal won't, Liverpool may but Newcastle will not make a massive loss on him a year or two after breaking our transfer record to bring him home to England.

Something Special 0 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 If theres a chance we can get a quality prem proven striker like Owen on a permanent basis then i'd take him anyday. Kuyt could turn out like Kezman and theres no saying he wants to join us either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crespo to be was woeful at Chelseas but great for AC, different league I know but so much changing around at a club can't be good for players. Look at Everton last year, small squad, everyone happy.

khay 10 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 With Owen he is a proven goal threat in the English top flight. However its clear his heart is still with liverpool. if we could get Kuyt for cheaper i think he might be worth the risk. He will also be trying to get in the dutch squad for the world cup aswell so will be out to impress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc1984 0 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 (edited) kuyt,but NOT because i think he better than owen,i just think if we go for kuyt we have got to spend less and we would actually have a good chance of getting kuyt unlike owen w/e anyone says,owen wont come here on a permanent basis(WASTE OF TIME) Edited August 26, 2005 by nufc1984 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Something Special 0 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I can't say im too bothered about Owen wanting to go to Liverpool, if we get him here permanently and play to our potential then he'll grow to love the club. Whereas if we play shit then any good player will want to leave after a season or two, whether its Owen or Kuyt . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom_NUFC 0 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I'd prefer Owen, but I don't see it happening, and I'd be quite happy to get Kuyt in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor 0 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Well I'd like both, but it's not gonna happen. At least with Kuyt, we don't know whether he does or doesn't want to come here yet, but with Owen we pretty much know he's holding out for Liverpool. Kuyt isn't the paciest striker, but I think he'd suit the lone striker role in this 4-3-3 (ahem 4-5-1) we've been playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
