I’m counting on Kevin – Geremi

[Scottish Mag 3]

NEWCASTLE United midfielder Geremi is banking on Kevin Keegan using his successful 4-3-3 formation next season.

 

There is no doubt that United’s fortunes took a change for the better once Keegan implemented the formation in the 1-1 draw with Birmingham City at St Andrews in the middle of March – a game which sparked a seven-match unbeaten run and killed off all fears of relegation.

 

And undoubtedly Geremi, who had previously been used in a more central midfield role, was a key man in the 4-3-3 line-up.

 

Obviously, a lot will depend on just who Keegan brings into the club as to what formations the United boss uses next season, although in a perfect world he would like to be flexible.

 

But this has not stopped Geremi from looking ahead and beyond his four World Cup qualifiers with Cameroon to his life at St James’s Park next season and hoping he is operating down the right with the overlapping Habib Beye.

 

Geremi is currently on international duty after starring for Cameroon in the African Nations Cup after helping his country to the final, where they were beaten by Egypt.

 

And as he prepared for the qualifier at home to Cape Verde a fortnight today, he told me: “I enjoyed my football with Newcastle at the end of the season, especially because of the way the team played. We had a very bad period, but we stuck together, and continued to work.

 

“The manager had a big impact on us, and we’ve had good results.

 

“I know he had been following the African Nations Cup, so he knew that I can play wide in midfield, or right-back.

 

“It is the same role, and for me it’s easier, as I know how to play right-back, and I have a good understanding with Habib Beye.

 

“We played with three in midfield, which has a good shape, and we had good organisation.

 

“We were very confident at the end of the season and there is no reason why we should not carry this into next season.”

 

Geremi missed the last game of the season on compassionate grounds after his elder sister died of leukaemia.

Sorry like, he's not great as a RB or RM as is just too slow. Good for a squad player perhaps but I dont see a place for him in the first team. Also, his corners are just woeful.

So you obviously believe that the new board has the vision to sell the poorer players and replace them with better ones then?

ah Mr Angry is back.

 

I think the manager chooses who to sell and buy. However, you obviously think the new board bought this sack of shit to replace Nobby Solano that the old board bought, twice.

 

Go away and think about it.

Milner was Nobbys replacement I thought. Why would the manager opt to sell him, unless he thought that the board would back him significantly enough to bring in a better player?

Didn't Nobby ask to go and wasn't it under the old board twice

 

 

Get rid of Nobby I mean.

I think you should look up and see why he left both times, I'll enlighten you if you don't succeed in finding out why.

 

You're one of those KBJ's who think the Halls and Shepherd brought an end to decades of glorious success aren't you, having attracted you to support the club too, strangely.

 

I really think its a bit premature to suggest we are better off with the new board until they have at least shown they have reasonable ambition [which doesn't appear to be shared by the team manager at the moment] and qualified for europe at least to quantify it, never mind the Champions League that the old one did.

Well, last summer, we lost Parker, Solano and Dyer from our midfield, and brought in Barton and Geremi to replace them positionally.

 

"Good business", according to Mort, who according to you, did the deals.

Rather have competence, and the success will follow, than blind ambition with absolutely zero competence. It's criminal that all we achieved is Europe after the mountains of money spent. Don't you agree?

not particularly, no. YOu need to spend money to reach the top 6 and higher these days. In fact, that has always been the case.

 

I can assure you that "competence" won't necessarily achieve anything, it is far more dependent on the standards you set, and like it or not, this means spending money, and not the operation of a "sell to buy" policy.

Nobby was playing right-back for us mostly before he went, because he was ineffective on the wing. Beye has been one of our best players this season.

Parker. Well, going round in circles and passing backwards achieves what, exactly? Nicky Butt has been playing the role he played for us, and again, has been one of our better players.

Dyer? Who averaged about 7 games a season for us?

 

So what's your point here, fucktard?

That is correct. What has that got to do with Shepherd, unless you think they should have sanctioned a private helicopter or something to get him to training from London every day ?

 

Shame the midfield replacements weren't good enough eh. Thought all the "shit" signing were supposed to be a thing of the past now that the fat bastard has gone.

 

I'm looking forward to finishing 3rd again, minimum requirement for anyone better than the Halls and the fat bastard, should be dead easy.

Yes. We've come a long way this season. Set up a structure at the club. We now have a dedicated team signing players, instead of the fat bastard taking control of it. We now have an extensive scouting network. We have a billionaire, putting money into the club, as opposed to milking money from it.

 

We have a manager that the fans appreciate for once, and we've started to play good football. Of course under the old board, we'd be told that nobody can sack Keegan from a managers post, a few hours before he recieves his p45.

 

But on the whole, I'd say things are looking up. Especially when you consider that these players that the new board have signed have been recruited without the lure or financing from European football, as the old board left the club whilst we were still in decline, and no longer challenging for this.

eerrrrrrrrrrrr.............you ARE aware that Keegan has been manager before I take it ?

 

 

When you've worked that out, look again at the record books for our "achievements" for the 35 years preceding 1992. We've came a long way since then in fact, but look it up rather than take my word for it.

 

It would appear that you may have to.
