Hughesy Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 WOW thought he had a contract as we asked about BUYING him last January. Get him in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamy100 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 WOW thought he had a contract as we asked about BUYING him last January. Get him in! We were after him in January, but it wasn't Kean's choice to go after him as he wasn't in control of transfers at that stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now he wants him?? Decent player on a free. No more news Kamy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkbrfc12 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Guthrie is a decent player. I'd prefer him tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davulsukur Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Guthrie on a free would be a great signing. Surely if Kean wanted to sign him in Jan for a fee, he would want to sign him for free? Unless of course Guthrie doesn't fancy dropping to the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless of course Guthrie doesn't fancy dropping to the championship. Someone will take Guthrie in the permiership. No need for him to drop down.

Mercer Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 News in and around Newcastle is that Best highly unlikely to come !!! No surprises there then and you would have to ask if any half decent player would want to join the Ewood circus. I understand that the chances of Best coming are getting slimmer by the day.

Backroom Tom Posted June 26, 2012 Backroom Share Posted June 26, 2012 Isn't he currently on holiday? Hopefully if he has decided he won't be joining he can tell us ASAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majiball Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 How far have we fallen that Best is considered an outstanding signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJW Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 How far have we fallen that Best is considered an outstanding signing. Out of the PL Maj .... in the PL we would be luke warm about him and considering him a squad player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 How far have we fallen that Best is considered an outstanding signing. Agreed, as with Murphy. I know it's 'horses for courses' to try and get back up but to me, it's 'silly season' with the money involved for two players who will not, IMO, keep us in the PL if promoted. Best at £3m in the last year of his contract is, IMV, poor negotiation and as for the reported £50k / week for Murphy, someone is having a laugh. Murphy's reported wage of £2.6m / season will probably be twice as much as we take in season ticket sales - madness for a rapidly depreciating asset.

Bennisfromheaven Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 These two players are signing based on the league we are in & what is required of our squad, i dont have much time for the current regime but they seem to be approaching the championship in the right way, with regard to signings at least!!

Salgado Is A Hero Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Out of the PL Maj .... in the PL we would be luke warm about him and considering him a squad player Yes like most of us were about signing Yakubu. And I know I wasn't the only one to be happy with the signings of Dann and Chimbonda. My point is nobody knows how successful any signing is until they are here. I'm sure I don't need to give examples of other recent signings we were unsure about. So the only thing we can do is wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBar Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 When Best got a run for the magpies he played very very well, took his goals very well, and before people start throwing stats at me i know they read bad but when he played he did quite well, we need to take a look around, this is the standard of player we can attract now given the league were in not to mention the clowns at the helm...id be very happy with him!!

savage90 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I remember watching him in their game v QPR and thinking, christ Newcastle's 4th choice striker would give our 1st and 2nd choice (Yakubu and Roberts) a good run for their money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedderz0912 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I would be happy with best I work with 2 newcastle fans and play footy with another and all 3 say pretty much the same: Great squad player, good touch, does a lot of hard work, can finish, unlucky to be behind 2 such great strikers in BA and Cisse and all 3 think he would be a success in the championship!!!! Id be happy overall though with him.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkbrfc12 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 If the money's rite mercerman why won't he come? Guaranteed first team football aswell, plus Danny to provide the assists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumboots Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 And Steve Kean to manage you. think I'd be waiting a bit to see who else was interested. It's early days yet and players have the club where they want it - a bad reputation means we will have to pay even more over the odds than previously for players to overcome all the bad publicity we have had. Players like those in every other kind of empoyment talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkBRFC Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Some folk are so naive when it comes to footballers. If we offer him good terms and first team footy he will come, if someone offers him more money he will go there. Don't kid yourself that rovers "reputation" has much to do with it. 99% are motivated by money first, everything else comes a distant second.

RibbleValleyRover Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 When Kean was Coventry Coach manager Best was there, that can either be a good thing or a bad thing from Best's perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
