Matty 0 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Just released by Blackburn. Surely worth a chance? Wouldn't cost any money to sign and has worked, fairly successfully, with Souness in the past. Also grew up a Toon fan which is always a good thing I suppose. Any thoughts?

Mark 0 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 5 years ago he was a good player, now he's shite. Just like Bridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Aye, Blackburn don't play him because he's shite. Never recovered from that crash. Hughes also hinted last year that he was having some psychological problems since the crash that were affecting his training and all round game. I actually agree with Mark, he's just like Bridges, a very promising footballer who'll not play top flight again becuase of a major injury.

Smooth Operator 10 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Given our need for a striker I'd be tempted to give him a month's contract see how he goes and decide from then. But that would mean Souey might have to get to Kingston Park for a few reserve games and we all know the chances of that are slim! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty 0 Posted January 11, 2006 Author Share Posted January 11, 2006 We give him a chance and he will come on with a footballer with something to prove... Unlike Shola just going through the motions. Agree with the monthly contract idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 He was on the verge of the England squad before his accident, how long ago was that? Also didn't he turn us down during the Gullit era? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7169 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Just tell me again why when i mentioned sutton i got ridiculed yet jansen is worth a chance according to some of you? Sutton has scored more in the last 3 months than jansen has in the last 3years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutton has scored more in the last 3 months than jansen has in the last 3years! 77491[/snapback] I can only assume it is because Jensen is younger and quicker, an all together different kind of player to Shearer, whereas Sutton is too similar to big Al.

Kid Dynamite 7169 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 tbh, if we can get jansen til the end of the season for free id take the risk. a change of scenery might be all he needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Just read on the text before that they were releasing him and thought straight away that the daft shite we call our manager would be straight in for him. Canny replacement for Bellamy though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many did Sutton score for Chelsea (all those years back, before he became a hasbeen?) By the way, I wouldn't want Jansen either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
