BP1960 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Ameobi was a cult hero at Newcastle not sure he's what we need Always is the question is " Is he better than what we have got"...Cassidy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) Can't see us paying much for a 27 year old. 6 months left on his contract. Apparently Gills are in for him too, so can't see us getting him. They say he plays next to a defensive midfielder and drives the side forward.

nzlatic Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 To be fair, most thought a 20 year old loanee from burton wasn't what we needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) That's a shame. Hope we don't sign him, only good enough for bolton cause they can't get anyone else. He was woeful when in the prem, newcastle fans couldn't stand him. Would rather stick with what we've got. I wouldn't stick with what we have got.

HarryBosch Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 He was playing for Bolton for free. Has Barry stopped hanging around outside prisons and started scouring world football for players currently playing for free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
we hate man,u and city to Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Newcastle fans liked him the odd time he came up with a crucial goal or one against sunderland. Then hated him again 3 games later when they realised he's still crap. Only my opinion but, i don't think he's what we need. Grant holt with murphy playing off him would be ideal though.

jmantonhoward Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Think I'm the only one that doesn't want us to sign Grant Holt. He hasn't been any good for years. Would be a waste of a very large wage imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz_Oafc Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Score goals consistently over his career. His last decent goal scoring season was 2011/2012. Since then he has a strike rate of pretty much 1 in 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostofcecere Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 The Grant Holt of 5/6 years ago yes, but I fear the Grant Holt of today is probably nothing like that player. Amoebi was a handful, but never really the goal scorer we're desperately crying out for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

we hate man,u and city to Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 What does Holt do that Ameobi doesn't? Battler. He's done it at this level and worked his way up. He wouldn't carry on playing if he didn't think he could offer anything. Not sure on ameobi, just doesn't strike me as the type who will be up for a relegation battle and lead us out of it. Bolton fans don't seem to mind him, but i think thats largely due to the fact he said he'd play for nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

we hate man,u and city to Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 We have a goal scorer already. We need a handful who will put chances on a plate. By sounds of it, we should have scored more at shrewsbury. Poleon/cassidy are really struggling for any sort of form. We should have at least got a point against bury as well. At home to bury we lacked someone who'd get into the box and put it away. We've been putting decent crosses in, we need someone to finish them.
