Sima 0 Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 Mackems now saying Chopra was the best away player at the SOL last season. Fuck me, there must be a right load of shit in that league Besides which, I'm sure I've heard that before on there about someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Chopra wants his arse kicking. They'll be straight on his back from his very first over hit pass, bad touch etc and won't get off it again until he leaves. This will all end in tears. Champion.

Guest stevieintoon Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 apparently we earn £1.25million out of this deal as well, the mackems are fuming How do you know this? Absolute fact or potential made up pish? Good luck to Chopra I say, he needs a SMB t shirt posting to him as well as Cup Final ticket if we get there.

themags 0 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 it's only a rumor so far, possibly started by one of us on the SMB to piss them off more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Hog 536 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I'd be surprised if there is a sell on clause. We didn't sell him he was offered a contract but rejected it and went to Cardiff, the fee was set by tribunal. I didn't know the tribunal could set sell on fee's.

geordieshandy 0 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 NEWCASTLE United will not recieve a cash windfall from Michael Chopra's move from Cardiff City to Sunderland. The £5million deal between the Bluebirds and Roy Keane's side will see Chopra return to the North-East after quitting Newcastle 12 months ago for South Wales. But after recieving a £500,000 fee last summer for Chopra, Newcastle are not expected to get any further funds from a sell-on clause. The situation about a sell-on fee had been unclear but a source close to Cardiff chairman Peter Ridsdale said: "The chairman made sure he settled the deal there and then with no sell on clause."

The Fish 11071 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Good Championship player, you can't argue with his goal haul. Nopt quick enough for the premiership though. It'll be interesting if he plays against us, what reaction do you think he'd get from the fans for playing and if (Big Al Forbid) he should score, how he would react Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney 0 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I'd imagine he'd be resoundly booed. The pre-match drivel to SSN and the local rags will influence also. Lots will think him scum for joining mackems, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaser 1321 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Was Chops born in Newcastle? Itll be interesting to see his celebrations if he scores for Sunderland. Hopefully, he'll have similar luck to Stead and Sunderlands premiership curse will long continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol 0 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I get the feeling that the players the unwashed are trying to attract can only see them being relegated anddon't want to take the risk. Derby day cannot come quick enough! I have to say I adore your signature! Johnny Ryall though isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima 0 Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 SMB is hilarious at times. More or less every Newcastle fan they are speaking to rates Chopra, were sad to see him leave us and think they have a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 22401 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Ha ha, good stuff, the mackems are getting their knickers in a twist because he played for, and supports, us. They should be more concerned that he is no where near a premiership standard player tbh. I had concerns the SMBs might surpass us this year, but that's not likely given the past two months. I reckon they might get relegated - AGAIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney 0 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Chops facing Bigg problem Jul 12 2007 by Lee Ryder, Evening Chronicle BOB MONCUR has warned Michael Chopra he will have to keep a “wise head” on his shoulders after making his £5m switch to Sunderland from Cardiff City – and how he would be silly to walk through the Bigg Market as a Black Cats player. The former Newcastle United striker was offered the chance to stay on at St James’ Park last season by then boss Glenn Roeder, but opted to quit Tyneside in the search for a regular run-out with the Bluebirds. Fairs Cup-winning skipper Moncur made a similar transition back in the 1970s and told the Chronicle today: “To be honest it is a little bit different to when I made the move. “I had just been captain of Newcastle at the FA Cup final and I was going to Sunderland to take the captain’s armband from Bobby Kerr after agreeing to do so for Bob Stokoe. “I left Newcastle because I had been there 14 years and it was time for a change. “I needed a new challenge and in my two years there we just missed out on promotion in the first season then went up in the second. “I had a lot of people coming up to me and saying ‘how can you go?’ “For me it was because I had a young family growing up in the North-East and I did not want to uproot them. “Michael’s move is different and I think the biggest problem he has is his price. “People will expect results and goals and if they don’t come they will react to the fact he was at Newcastle and is a Geordie.” Speaking on how Chopra will have to re-think his time away from the club, Moncur feels he must take the responsible approach. He added: “When I left people would come up to you in pubs and such like and have a bit of light-hearted banter, like how could you sign for Sunderland Bob? “It was no more than banter back then and you could talk to supporters. “This is a big chance for Michael under Roy Keane but he must be careful. “He will be wise enough to keep a low profile in my opinion, but he must remember that this is a different world to the one I lived in and played in. “Back then, even if we got beat the Newcastle team used to head to the Old George pub and have a pint with the fans. “Nowadays you cannot do that, there is no light-hearted stick. “There is no way he can walk through the Bigg Market after scoring goals for Sunderland. “It is sad the world is like that and sad that because of that the fans cannot get to meet their heroes like they used to.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
