AcidBurn Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Well for me yes . All of my squad are either exhausted or injured . Try playing in Brazil with a low team, after 25 league games nearly everyone is injured or has the rst sign next to them. I take it it's happening a lot for your Hungarian side?

If we didn't have the Ligakupa it wouldn't be so bad but that extra competition kills us, especially with being in Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomtuck01 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I see Stuart Hall has been jailed today. No, I'm not here to dicuss his crimes or sentence, but something else......... Now, I do have much sympathy for his victims - what they went through at his hands was horrific and I'm glad he has been brought to jutice. But, why on earth are they going to sue the BBC? It is not the BBC's fault, so what do they think they are doing suing them? Typical compensation culture, it's not enough that their tormentor has been sentenced to prison, but they now want "damages" years after said offences happened. Some people make me feel sick, and I'm not talking about Stuart Hall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTHerringbone Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 So then, Joe Kinnear? Not even sure if it's true, but Mike Ashley seems to go through cycles of good and bad PR exercises. There's no doubt that he's an astute businessman, and that Newcastle fans should have plenty to thank him for, but the financial side of things gets muddied by the stadium debacle, and now Kinnear's possible DoF role.

There's no doubt that he's an astute businessman, and that Newcastle fans should have plenty to thank him for, but the financial side of things gets muddied by the stadium debacle, and now Kinnear's possible DoF role. They made more money by renaming the stadium and I believe it was part of a bigger plan. By changing the name it meant he took all the stick and while this happened looked further afield to sell the naming rights. Meaning any investor coming in wouldn't have had the fans on their back by not calling the stadium ST James Park. For whatever reasons this didn't happen though and no deal was made. However, it would have been a masterstroke had he pulled it off because he took all the blame. I don't understand the Kinnear stuff though, makes no sense at all. Atleast we got another comical press conference yesterday though:D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTHerringbone Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I just don't know what a Director Of Football actually does. Whatever their remit, you would expect a club to appoint someone who is in touch with the modern game; somebody who presents a good image of the club and is well regarded in world football. They could only have got it more wrong if they'd appointed Sepp Blatter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're probably right, but it'll be quite galling for Pardew having to report in to an outdated football dinosaur. For me, Kinnear was outdated when he was in his prime.

AcidBurn Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 SRL - Looks likely you'll sign Mignolet eventually, although his agent says he is unaware of any bid I think he'll be a Liverpool player soon enough. He's a great signing and in my opinion last season he was much better than Reina but it'll be interesting to see if Reina goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen him play but he has scored a load of goals. I haven't seen loads, but I have seen bits and bobs. What I would say is he is an excellent passer of a football, has excellent vision and outside the box his striking ability is similar to Frank Lampard's.

He is brilliant a proper no 10 imo. He isn't a good distributor of the ball though and that's probably his main flaw. He doesn't really bring assists to the team but he does have a great work ethic. He is great at driving runs forward though and his movement in general is excellent. I'm not sure Liverpool would use him as a No 10 though would they?

I don't know because we seemed to have played 4-5-1 mainly throughout last season but that could change and go to more of a 4-2-3-1 which is where Henrikh would fit in like when we had Gerrard playing off Torres. That is the only way I can see it working. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the only way I can see it working. What about Gerrard though? I can't see him playing at MC for you if you switched to a 4231. Maybe this is the beginning of the end for him? I think at times the team is actually better without him. He's been a great servant for you but sometimes he should be subbed or dropped but he still lives on his rep, when he's declined a lot in recent years imo. If Henrikh Mkhitaryan is a done deal though, I'd build the team around him. I rate him very highly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRL88 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I can't see Gerrard as an AM anymore. He has had to do it at times in the last season, but taking his age into account he needs to wind down somewhere. He had a brilliant season last year, I wouldn't say we do massively better without him to be honest. Him sat deep alongside Lucas but him breaking forward too with Henrikh, Coutinho, Sturridge & Aspas could be very frightening. Or, and the mrs has had me drinking Sambuca & Bailey's all night .
