Last time i watched him play for Newcastle, which was just before his ankle injury, he was immense and was newcastle's best player, can pass, is very mobile, determind. We all know of his character flaws however.
If we can sign him for next to nothing I would be delighted as long as there was a clause in his contract which means we could launch him if he kicks off.
Unfortunatly I don't think we will have much better options come summer with what will probably be a dismal transfer budget.
I am the only one that thinks his challenge at the weekend wasn't a red card ????
Maybe Shearer is looking for a scapegoat. Can't wait to see them go down.
