Moving up a level
The signing of Scott Parker this is definitely a great welcome although the position is the least of our worries. Eversince, Rob Lee left us, he has left a void, a very important one i must add. Rob Lee gave us the steel in midfield that was needed and one that was missing throughout last season. Nicky Butt was brought in to do a job and he didn't lived up to his reputation. But even during Sir Bobby Robson's last few seasons here, we were lacking the player to drive us forward from the heart of midfield and to provide much needed cover for our centre backs. Rob Lee did his job and well enough that he became an adopted Geordie.
I see Scott Parker as Rob Lee's replacement and he could be better than Lee himself. He has all the attributes that Lee has except Lee's scoring record. But that will not be a problem if we have other players to do that job and perhaps he could nick in a few.

Scott Parker was the first player through the door and although his position seemed to be the least of our worries many were still excited by this signing, we had beaten off some pretty stiff competition for this player and what a player we have signed!
This is a player of true class, a real battler but someone with that touch and composure of a playmaker. A player who may not have the greatest of scoring records but when he does score he does it with style. The man is a driving force in midfield, a man who really has a passion to win. I have heard him called a "poor man's Steven Gerrard" but at the end of the day, if Sunday's performance against Arsenal at Highbury is anything to go by, the poor man must have just won big!
Although as said this was probably the last position we needed to add to, the addition of Parker will in my opinion take us up another level. True great teams always have a very strong spine and Parker added to Given, Boumsong and Shearer completes that spine. Although seemingly not a shouter Scott is the type of player who will lead by example and his great passion and commitment can only be a good thing for the rest of the youth in our midfield.
I feel this is definitely a player who we can build a successful team around and with his partnership with Emre looking promising - if not more than the one formed by Boumsong and Bramble last year - we can only begin to start to imagine some of the high tempo, steel in the middle, possession football we are about to be treated to.
Parker is the driving force we have lacked since Rob Lee left Newcastle. Welcome to Toon Scott.
No doubt in my mind that Scott Parker can be a legend like Rob Lee. We need players of his character and composure. And i'm sure we will go on to bigger and better things with this type of player.
