Chaser 1321 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 If Owen does go in January, with Oba gone it'll leave us with just Smith, Vids & Shola as our strikers. Can Carroll be recalled? With that, there doesnt appear to be a lot of goals between those 3, certainly no pace. Who would you be looking to pick up as a replacement?

Barney 0 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Sam Allardyce believes Michael Owen will be a Newcastle player after the January transfer window. The former Bolton boss insisted he has had no conversation with Sven Goran Eriksson about the England striker amid continued speculation Manchester City are about to move for him. However, it is understood that discreet inquiries have been made as to City's intentions with Allardyce knowing Owen's departure would leave him with a gap to fill. But as he conducted his pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday's Barclays Premier League trip to Fulham, he was adamant any transfer activity this winter would involve incoming players. And asked if he had spoken to Eriksson, he replied: "We have not had a conversation regarding Michael Owen. "It is December, it is speculation time. It is volatile in terms of what is being bandied about throughout the whole of the media world in football. Speculation "The speculation goes with agents or anybody ringing you up for whatever reason and mentioning or talking about one particular player, and straight away, you are either going to buy him or another rumour comes around and all of a sudden, you are selling. "Certainly at this moment in time, my squad coming to January is going to be depleted by four players going to the African Nations Cup, and there is no room for me moving any players out of this football club. "It is about, if anything, bringing some players in to bolster the squad, not just for the players who are missing for the African Nations, but hopefully, if it is there, to get us better to see us through this season." Owen is not in the squad for Saturday's game as he continues his recovery from a thigh injury, but could return against Derby next Sunday. He has managed just 25 appearances for Newcastle since making a £17million move from Real Madrid in August 2005. Owen has a further 18 months to run on his contract, and will be able to leave St James' Park on a free transfer at the end of next season.

sammynb 3640 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Roeder must be stooopid enough to pay 2m for donkey, another 3m for Emre, 8 for Owen and we might just be able to afford Anelka. Or that rich twat that now owns the club can just go all abramovich on the club and just get the fucking cheque book out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney 0 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 The Dutch league can be a bit hit and miss. You can get pure quality like Ruud VanN or you can end up with Kezman, who had an even better goal record than RVN, but couldn't really adapt in a very good Chelsea side. Kuyt was a prolific goalscorer there too, but hasn't looked at all as clinical here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7312 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Id take the chance, wecould find another RVN or Ronaldo. Huntelaar has looked ace for 3 seasons now. If no-on elese is in for him we may get a decent price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 He's looked brilliant. So has Alvez. I suppose that's what you pay your scouts good money for, to weed out the youtube legends/Kezman's. Albert Luque Ajax Amsterdam 4 awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7312 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 tbf shola would probably be on 4 goals as well if he played in holland and started every game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio 0 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I'd buy Diouf in January with a long term view of playing him and Martins either side of a target man from next season. Maybe Crouch or Ashton if we can get either in the Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7312 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 (edited) Forlan only just went to athletico madrid for about £15mil so i cant see that one happening Id definately have crouch though. He always seems to make liverpool play better when hes in the team Edited December 14, 2007 by J69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassplayerjj 0 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 (edited) I Reckon if we send offer Owen and a few mill and send him down on a long piggy back ride on Shearer's back Ashton would come. He's a big fan of Shearer isn't he? I still can';t believe we werent in for him not only whhen norwhich signed him from crewe, but when norwhich let him go also. We needed a replacement for big al and he's a big fan of him, could have learnt a couple of things off him in his last couple of seasons also =/ aye nevermind Edited December 14, 2007 by bassplayerjj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
