Emre 0 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Newcastle United have been linked with a shock move for Wigan Athletic striker Jason Roberts. Magpies manager Graeme Souness has been alerted to the fact the forward has only 18 months remaining on his current deal at the JJB - and the Latics have yet to open talks over a new contract. The 28-year-old has hit nine goals in 11 games and has also been rewarded with the captain's armband. Souness has earmarked the player as a potential successor to Alan Shearer with Everton have also reportedly interested in signing the Grenada international.

BastianSchweinsteiger 0 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 To be fair he's scored 9 goals in 11 games, which is far better than any of our strikers (barring Owen) this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I rate him, he's tore our defence apart every time he's played against us. better than Ameobi, Shearer and Chopra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFS that striker for Cheltenham is better than what we've got up front at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact swap him for Ameobi 85823[/snapback] What would he cost and how much have we got ? I can't think of many better players to partner Owen for what he would cost.... seeing as fuckwit sold Bellamy but you never know a new manager may see it differently and exercise the clause in Bellamys contract Anyone who thinks we are going to afford 10m plus to replace Bellamy, as Owen has already taken up the budget to replace Shearer, is being slightly deluded I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sima Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Clause in Bellamy's contract? Care to explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 3787 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Clause in Bellamy's contract? Care to explain. 85828[/snapback] There is a rumour that "allegedly" if we come back in for Bellars at some point he can return if he wants. Can't see it happening but possible for a club that has a habit of fucking up the details in the contracts of the players they loan out, so they can play and inevitably score against us.

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 (edited) Would Roberts come? A cup final to play in and possibly Europe next season with Wigan. A relegation dogfight and a bunch of fuckwits coaching you with the Toon! Edited January 29, 2006 by Wacky Jnr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I'd like to see us try and sign Earnshaw, more likely to come and wouldn't be a bad investment at all. Ok so he isn't world class but we need someone who can score goals and he's more likely to do that than our current crop of strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not buy that Kozic Wet Sham were after? He's a tall bloke at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I was saying a few weeks ago that for the right price I'd take Earnshaw. Saying that, we're so desperate I'd probably take George Bernard Shaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A relegation dogfight and a bunch of fuckwits coaching you with the Toon! 85830[/snapback] i was just thinking the same wacky! Why would he want to come to us? I like Roberts, admittedly i have a soft spot for him as i used to watch him play for us here at Torquay....very good player...have to agree with some of whats been said too, better and more consistent than Ameobi and Chopra put together. Plus he has the right attitude.... though a few weeks with us and no doubt he'd go into a decline!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 48662 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 On the subject of Shola (somebody's mentioned him), did it wind anyone else up to see that Obejayi and Francis playing like strikers with purpose at one end, committing defenders, and basically playing like they realise that the object of the game is to get the ball in the opposing team's net.....then when the ball goes to Ameobi he's his usual ponderous, lackadaisical self, seemingly no purpose to what he does, and giving the opposition every opportunity to get the ball off him. I'm not an Ameobi-basher, but the lad is so frustrating. He just seems to have no drive about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks so half hearted all the time...yet he has obvious talent, if only he could have some go behind him!! But i dont think he'll ever change. OHHH im going to say it........ i wish we had Bellars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
