khay 10 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Breaking News: Butt Pens New Toon Deal NICKY Butt has put pen to paper on a new contract which will keep him at Newcastle United until the end of next season. The 31-year-old's current deal expires in June but the midfield star has now agreed a one-year extension with the option of a further year beyond that. Butt signed for the Magpies in the summer of 2004 and has made 93 appearances scoring three goals for the black and whites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31600 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Fair enough, he's turned it round well, or perhaps the shower of shite around him is making him look better than he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 One of our best players this season and last after the shitty first season here. Good length contract for somebody of that age too. Hopefully by next season, we'll be grooming his replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Decent at home, but appalling away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinofbeans 91 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 play him holding at home and pair him up with barton away.... only trouble with that is there is virtually zero creativity between the pair of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7327 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Dont play Barton home or away! Hes like Butts angrier, slower, worse at football cousin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Deliberately leaves out safety wink) Aye, sorry - I knew you didn't say otherwise. I was just saying that he's worth keeping as a reserve at least anyway (should we sign a better DM).

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Do you reckon we could sign Sissoko if the stories he wants out at Liverpool are true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7327 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I hope that was said tongue in cheek. Hed fit in lovely with our mix of skillful creative midfielders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I hope that was said tongue in cheek. Hed fit in lovely with our mix of skillful creative midfielders. Alex was suggesting keeping Butt as cover if we signed a better DM. I think we all realise where the priority lies and are hoping for someone like Arshavin or Diego.

I can't say I rate either that highly but would probably pick Butt out of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 0 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Sissoko is woeful. He's a walking yellow card and we're already well stocked in that department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Sissoko is woeful. He's a walking yellow card and we're already well stocked in that department. Sissoko is a good player. Until he has the ball. Amady Faye isn't too different tbf. I think you can guess from that that he isn't quite what we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinofbeans 91 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 he's a good destroyer in the middle of the park but his touch and passing are worse than butts (which, whilst ok are nothing special). best holding player in the premiership this season for me is mascherano. doubt we could afford him though.

Paul 0 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 best holding player in the premiership this season for me is mascherano. doubt we could afford him though. Or that he'd even consider coming here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 0 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 he's a good destroyer in the middle of the park He's not though. He gets booked with his first tackle and spends the rest of the game covering ground. Have we not moved on from Scott Parker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
