Maharajkumar of Vizianagram Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Can't think of a single player at West Brom, Hull or Middlesbrough I'd like us to nick. However, I wouldn't mind seeing us sign one of Obafemi Martins or Jonas Gutierrez. Martins has never shown anything other than the odd glimpse of form but there's the possibility that we might get the best out of him. Looks a powerful, skillful player and we could do a lot worse if we want a cut price striker to put on the bench. Jonas is a dynamic player who scraps for the ball and is good at bombing forward. He seems to be capable of only powering forward in straight lines, like Dossena, but it gets the job done. I've seen him play in either full back positions and I reckon he'd make a decent, versatile option off the bench. We've looked ok with Carra at right back but if Rafa wants an attacking full back to have on the bench, I think he'd be a decent option.
John am Rhein Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 This Bassong is good they say. Although their opinion on football matters is worthless.
Hassony Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Jonas Gutierrez is really crap though isn't he? and Martins is worse than Cisse Tuncay would be a good cover, and i wouldn't mind Wheater on the cheap as a long term Hyypia replacement
Maharajkumar of Vizianagram Posted May 19, 2009 Author Posted May 19, 2009 tuncay usually looks a handy player. Aye, he's quality actually. An oversight.
honourablegeorge Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Viduka would have been a great option as cover a while back, totally unconvinced he can stay fit or motivated long enough to be of any use though. Rather Tuncay in the squad than Ngog, but he's not someone who could fill in for Torres. Guterriez looked to have a bit of pace. Not much else.
DanielS Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Tuncay gets 1 thing out of 10 he tries right. He's a MOTD player.
McBain Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Turner was really impressive first half of the season. Tuncay is decent. Basically we should consider stealing a few Boro youngsters on the cheap to piss Gibson off as much as possible.
jimmylibel Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 tuncay usually looks a handy player. Only one I'd really be looking at from Boro or Newcastle.
Maharajkumar of Vizianagram Posted May 19, 2009 Author Posted May 19, 2009 Martins is worse than Cisse Far more skillful than Cisse IMO, and we've got worse strikers on our bench at the moment.
honourablegeorge Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Far more skillful than Cisse IMO, and we've got worse strikers on our bench at the moment. You know all those times we break from a corner and Mascherano end up haring down withthe field with the ball on his own? Martins would be ACE in that scenario, haring off on his own with the ball. He'd otherwise be useless.
GWistooshort Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Jonas is a dynamic player who scraps for the ball and is good at bombing forward.

We've looked ok with Carra at right back but if Rafa wants an attacking full back to have on the bench, I think he'd be a decent option. Although he may have played full-back at times, Gutierrez is really a winger isn't he? From what I've seen of him, I don't think he's anywhere good enough defensively i wouldn't mind Wheater on the cheap as a long term Hyypia replacement As for Wheater I just don't think he's anywhere good enough
Jarg Armani Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 TuncayDowningWheaterGeovanniTurnerI'd still have Big Kenwynne
Maharajkumar of Vizianagram Posted May 19, 2009 Author Posted May 19, 2009 Although he may have played full-back at times, Gutierrez is really a winger isn't he? I've seen him play full back more often than on the wing but you may be right
Stevie H Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Adam Johnson at Boro.he looks really talented that lad.
Maharajkumar of Vizianagram Posted May 19, 2009 Author Posted May 19, 2009 Downing I reckon Riera's a better option, especially in Champion's league. He'd cost loads due to being English, even in a firesale, and probably wouldn't be content to sit on the bench.
sutty Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 TuncayDowningWheaterGeovanniTurnerI'd still have Big KenwynneGeovanni is a woeful shout. Woeful. Downing and Wheater in that list for me. But I'm not enthused by any of them
GWistooshort Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 I've seen him play full back more often than on the wing but you may be right Since joining Newcastle or before?
McBain Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 he looks really talented that lad. I avoid Boro like the plague but he rarely seems to get a game that lad? If he was as good as they say i'd expect him to feature
Hassony Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 That spiderman mask Jonas keeps in his shorts must be really stinky by now considering he hasn't scored for something like 60 games!
