Souness Out!

[Bobby G]

I think the Cole we signed was slightly past his peak and Bellamy is still maturing as a player, so in that sense I think at this moment Bellamy is potentially the best striker we have signed for many many years.

If Newcastle win their Intertoto tie, then they could face Deportivo in the next round.

That was our managers fault.

He'd rather have spent his Thursdays nights with his missus.

Can't remember what happened to him, went on a treasure hunt with a group of pirates who were less than fond of him or something.

[paddyk]

hahhahahaha

thurday night footy is @#/? tbh

[S15]

The irony he's now busting his balls trying to get it by playing in some stupid pontins cup.

Shows what an idiot the man is.

[Ronin]

Apparently he had NO CHOICE but to get rid of both Bellamy & Robert to save the barcodes.

GS seems to be the favourite to be first prem manager sacked.

[paddyk]

just signed emre :-) great signing

[92er]

That was my reaction last week but then it sounded as though the fee was on the high side and the wages were stupid. Again.

[Neil Weaver]

just signed emre

Didn't he used to play for Rangers under 15s?

Looking forward to seeing Souey's 4-3-3 formation next season....

[Bobby G]

I wouldnt be too happy being a Newcastle fan right now. You have sold 2 decent players, alongside 4-5 squad players and have replaced them with only 1 or possibly two good players.

Up front they need re-inforcing but who will they sign?

I see them as a sinking ship to be honest.

Cant see them troubling the top teams, they will be battling with everyone else outside the top 4.

If Shearer had packed it in they'd have really been in the doo doo...

[philipl]

The Newcastle midfield is now one of the most creative around but if Bowyer goes, they will have not much grit to compete with either an aggressive or possession-dominating opposition midfield (the other 19 clubs in the Prem have one or the other and some have both - the ones that have neither get relegated).

Not much width, the defence looks pretty lacking as does the front line. Souey's comments about the goals coming from Dyer are pointing towards him going into the new season with the sort of novel formations that were his trademark in the later stages of his time at Ewood (who needs a team with a left back/winger/....?)

Anyway that is not our problem.

Nor is an Intertoto draw which looks more like the later stages of the UEFA or Champions League than a summer kick around. Newcastle will have done extraordinarilly well if they qualify for the preliminary round draw of the UEFA Cup.

Or if he gets injured.

HEY SOUNESS..........how do you fancy an irritating Scottish Gnome who will run around all day unless he falls over when backing into defenders.

[brfcshabba]

He will go well along with the other 8 midfielders.

Dyer, Jenas, Faye, Milner , Parker, Viana, Bowyer, Butt and now Emre.

Looking forward to the 3 - 6 - 1 formation

[dave birch]

Do we care anymore?

he did good things for us, then he did bad things.

He's gone.

I'm looking forward to the good things ahead with Blackburn Rovers, not what GS is trying to achieve at the Toon.

[CAPT KAYOS]

OH DEAR - WHAT FORMATION WILL HE COME UP WITH NOW??

What dya reckon - a bid for Amoruso?

GET OVER SOUNESS HE HAS GONE FFS!

[roversWASmylife]

paddy, coming from Rovers fans.

For you, it's all down hill when you've got Souness in charge.

[speeeeeeedie]

GET OVER SOUNESS HE HAS GONE FFS!

I think many Rovers fans get great glee from the fact that he started with Newcastle on exactly the same footing as he left us. When he came to us he was good and did very well, then he went barmy. Give the ones who like it a chance to laugh, I think it makes them more happy to have Hughes.
