Kid Dynamite 7182 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 tbh blyths robbie dale could play the amount of games shola doeas and have his goal tally. most strikers from conference up would get 1 goal every 3-4 games with nobby, zoggy, emre, dyer laying them on for him. hes never going to be prolific enough to warrant a place in our team when we are aiming to be top 6 side.

Kid Dynamite 7182 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 (edited) maybe a slight exaggeration. but shola is another carl cort, stephane guivarch, andreas andersson, duncan ferguson, temuri ketsbaia, jon dahl tommasson. take your pick. if he wasnt brought up in newcastle hed be playing in the championship by now. 203 starts and sub appearances and 38 goals is not good enough for this club.

Gemmill 46088 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 On the number 9 thing: if we don't sign anyone and Owen doesn't want it, then it goes to Shola. It sends the wrong message if we say "No Shola, we're keeping it for someone who deserves it". Let him wear the shirt in the absence of anyone better. It's only a shirt and there's plenty shit's worn it in the past. I'm pleased overall with how Shola's been playing of late though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Shearer retiring will be the best thing that's ever happened to him if he can cope with the increased responsibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7182 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 fair enough. but how much longer do we give him? i think someone needs to sit him down and say to him ' you have had a lot longer than a lot of the lads here have had to start producing the goods. youre finally starting to produce the kind of form we want and expect from you and next season its make or break time. keep up the good work and the fans will be behind you all the way. up to you son' in true bobby fashion.

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 A lot of shit has worn the shirt before. But that was in the pre-squad-numbers days when you had to send a side out numbered 1-11. Since the Prem started only Cole, Sir Les and Al have worn it. I like the idea of the shirt having a certain magic to it and maybe it should be held back until someone (Shola or a signing) does enough to earn it.

Kid Dynamite 7182 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 shirley owen should get it next season? hes the only one truly great enought to wear it at the minute. as long as hes still here like. im not sure how attached he is to his number 10 shirt but it might be in his contract that he got the number 9 after shearer retired?

Brock Manson 0 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 At the end of the day, it's just a sodding number. But if he's played as 10 for most of his career, why would he want to change it? I mean if anyone made me change from my #25 I'd tell them to fuck off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wore 11 at Real Madrid, but I imagine it's hard to get the number you want there! They're a superstitious bunch, footballers. Robert was number 32 for his entire time here, despite playing for us for what, four years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't sign another striker and Shola does get it, maybe wearing Shearer's old number will inspire him to emulate the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusoda Kid 1 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Shola is shit and always will be, he was lucky with his piss power penalty yesterday, when he learns to strike the ball with his laces then maybe he'll make a good championship player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Henry had scored one like that we'd have seen it 402 times on the news by now. Ameobi gets no credit when he does something right. Typical of the fans of this club I'm afraid. And no, I'm not suggesting he's good enough to be first choice next season, but at least recognise the things he does sometimes do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 His scoring record as of late has been impressive and it can only add to his confidence, which is a key factor in a player's form. If the correct striker is brought in for him to play alongside (a Kuyt-type for example) then I can see him finally improving to a standard which would be acceptable at this level. Or loan him to Reading so he can play alongside the likes of Kitson and Doyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always annoys me because i don't think he is shit, i think he has ability but wastes it with his concentration, consistency, application and lack of agrression and killer instinct. He's never likely to be prolific but he should be aiming to be a second striker alonside a better goal scorer. But if we want to challenge at the top he should be our 3rd/4th choice striker really, unless his current goal scoring form becomes the norm week in week out and he cuts out missing sitters.

Dr Gloom 22185 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 i'd like to see him given a few games alongside owen next season. he's done well this season despite playing for the majority of it with a hip injury. i still have doubts over whether he'll ever be good enough to play week in week out but he's certainly not as bad as some make him out to be and in my opinion is a decent squad player to have.

MattM4 0 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 he did well yesterday. His job was to score and he did, once from open play, once under pressure with the pen. We should still rip anyone's arm off who wants to buy him this summer. Would be a travesty if we keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
