Pre-season silence
Haven't been updating this blog for a while now. Anyways, its the time of the year where soccer is nowhere to be found or seen for that matter. Not even on ESPN or StarSports. God!!
As far as the pre season goes, nothing to be optimistic about at Newcastle. Except perhaps the signing of Scott Parker from Chelsea. I really think that it is a major coup for a player of his class. Hope that he can become the next Rob lee. I really liked Rob lee. He is a legend. Scott Parker can go on to become a legend on tyneside too. Mark my words :)
In the meantime, players have already left the club. Aaron hughes has gone to Villa. Not sure what Souness was thinking. Think he could have been a great asset if he had stayed on. His versatility could prove useful but i guess Souness didn't think so. O'brien has gone to Fratton Park together with Robert. O'brien has always done a steady job here. Not the best of defenders but SBR knew what he could do and it proved. Played with a big heart although the crowd could get onto his back at times. Nothing much we could ask from him. Same goes to hughes who always puts in a committed performance. Never a class act but always reliable when called upon. Good luck to both of them. Robert, just like Ginola, left the club in a bitter manner. Bought for almost 10 million pounds but sold for pittance. His value somehow depreciated after his 2nd season. During his 1st season here, he was the player that we have bought to do the job. He came in and did his job. The next few season to follow just showed his desire or lack of it to play whole heartedly for the club. There were times when he was just unstoppable but there were times when he just didn't showed up. Last season was just the spark that prompted Souness to sell him. Our most creative player gone. More to follow......
