Scottish Mag 3 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Glenn Roeder hopes Oguchi Onyewu can bring the vocal factor back to the Newcastle United defence. The United States international has joined The Magpies from Standard Liege, initially on loan for the rest of the season. He made his debut in Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Fulham and his manager was impressed by his presence at centre-half. Roeder feels Newcastle have been lacking a loud stopper and believes Onyewu could provide the commanding influence the back-line has been missing. "I was captain at the club for five years and you cannot organise without talking," said the Magpies boss. "As players, we used to pull each other round the pitch and Oguchi can help us do that now. "His voice can be heard and I am looking forward to hearing more of it. He is an intelligent guy and what I like about him is that he talks a lot. "As a team, we are too quiet on the pitch. It is one factor we need to improve on and one factor I am looking at in regard to bringing in new players. "I want players who are vocal, who have a lot of personality and are nice and loud. "You need characters and talkers in the team because it is impossible to play the game of football without them." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair though it's been clear for a long time that not enough of our players do this. It's the same as the fact that too many of our players have been too slow or too small. We've seen this for years but no one has done anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zathras 266 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 To be fair, having that beast coming screaming at me and coming towards me would be motivation to get my act together in defence. Unless I was Bramble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 9906 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 One of the positive things I have to say about Moore is that he at least tried to organise things at the back. If only it weren't for the fact that he is such a poor footballer... Given is far too quiet, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally 0 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I loved it when we signed Boumsong, and Souness said that one of the reasons he signed him is because he's such a vocal defender, who is always talking throughout the game. 18 months later and Taylor came out and said that Boumsong was the quietest defender he'd ever played with.
