What is Tony Dunn on about? Who are you comparing us to? How can you call us a Mickey Mouse club? 50000 week in week out! The problem of overpaid and under ambitious players is not restricted to Newcastle United alone. The Newcastle fans only ever want good players who want to play for the club. Unfortunately we don't get to choose who comes in. Next time your driving up the M6 to watch your local club why dont you give alex a ring and put in your wish list. I'm sure he'll pop straight out and get them.

Why would any decent players with footballing ambition,not bank balance ambition want to go to Newcastle ? Mickey Mouse club with massive support doesn't mean they will ever win anything.It's funny the way the fans say "we want him " "we need him".Only second rate players need apply.

to even break into the top 6, we need to get rid of the likes of bramble, moore, babayaro, carr, ramage, luque, siberski as they are not the quality we are looking for. We need to break the bank and get woodgate back in a black and white shirt, also need a good partner for him, anton ferdinand maybe ok, curtis davies is better than what we have, then we have taylor, need to sign wayne bridge or leighton baines, then a right back maybe lucas neill or even micah richards if we could get him. defence is the key. One midfielder would be good, a goal scoring one, as we dont have one. Tim Cahill or Joey Barton would fit that bill. We still need 2 forwards in my view, so I would sign Dean Ashton and Dave Nuggent. These players are certainly better than what we have at the minute. If we could get Shaun Wright Phillips as well, am sure the season ahead would be a positive one, who is manager at this time, who knows, as I dont think Roeder is the man to take us forward!!
