Agreed. What concern is it of ours whether Wigan or another bottom-feeder takes a punt on Collocini? He's nowhere near Liverpool quality and is hardly worth discussing.

If they were that good Newcastle probably wouldn't have gone down in the first place.

Tuncay - can't have enough Yossi Benni's on the bench.........

Owen on a play as you pay basis would be great......

Henry and Ronaldo were poor in the Prem in their first seasons too.

Tuncay and Johnson

by **GYBS** » Wed May 27, 2009 5:51 pm

well henry scored over 20 goals in his first season and ronaldo while not as good as he is now was young and showed he had the talent there . Only talent Collocini has showed is the ability to unable to do the basic defending required and i thank the lord that he didnt arrive at liverpool all those years ago when we were linked to him . The guy is poor beyond belief

They would all fit in well in the roles I mentioned above. Any thoughts ?

No but my sides are aching at some of the "names" for back up.......... :laugh:

They would all fit in....@ teams suitable for relegation

I love how some people are still saying Duff

Did anyone actually watch Newcastle play the last 2 seasons?

by **Octsky** » Wed May 27, 2009 8:12 pm

why is anybody talking abt players from newcastle? none and i meant none is good enough for the league.
newcastle gone down by default. they just have to score one goal to save their entire season and they couldnt do it.
and it makes hull's brown look like a hero when his team couldnt even beat mancs under-19.

Can anyone see Man Utd shopping at the relegated clubs? No. They mostly offload rubbish on them, players not good enough to make it at a big club. There are a few big names at Newcastle and Boro, but we should be shopping elsewhere. I'd question if Tuncay, Downing, Taylor or Wheater would break into our first team squad, I doubt they would be sold cheaply, so why pay over the odds for Festy's "back-up" list? I'd rather sign a quality CB and make Skrtel and Agger "back-up", sign Tevez and make Riera "back-up". Owen if he'd be happy not starting and at the right price, I would go for, but I doubt he would go for it. Duff would have been a good signing 5-6 years ago, not now. Martins may seem like a good striker, he isn't a great striker and plays as much or less than Owen.

Why have Boro and Newcastle sunk? Newcastle because they bought a lot of ordinary players and have too many players with injury problems. Bassong, Guthrie, Butt, Barton, Smith, Capaca, Beye, Geremi and Xisco are hardly the greatest signings, they gradually brought in substandard players and finally the balance has tipped them over the edge and into the Championship. They have done a bit of a Leeds, paid a lot for ordinary fare and on high wages. At least a number of their players are going to be where they belong

Boro sank because their manager is cr ap, they have a lot of ordinary players and ordinary English players, and don't score enough goals. Once they lost Schwarzer and Viduka they were screwed, an attacking line-up of Alves, Aliadiere, and Tuncay is never going to score you a lot of goals with a fairly ordinary midfield and ok, but not great, defence.

bassong is prob the best of a bad bunch there - he looks a decent player and without him they would of been even worse .And do people still think Guthrie is better than Lucas ? was poor once again on sunday

by **loopyliverpool** » Thu May 28, 2009 9:15 am

Downing is the only player I'd like as he would be an asset to the team and squad. Of the others being touted you could make a case for Tuncay but he is getting on a bit and would only be on the periphery of the team. Decent palyer though!

by **lakes10** » Thu May 28, 2009 9:23 am

there is a player i would love to see get a shot at the big time and thats Giles Coke from Northampton Town.

I have seen him 3 times this year and was shocked how good he was and could not work out why he was playing for Northampton Town.

he has just been offerd a new deal but has not taken it yet, i think we could get him for 100-200k, he was great in midfield but looked enen better when going down the wing.
