Must have been Denis Wise' idea, Keegan is a clueless tactition of the highest order.

So no coincidence that since Hughton has come in as first team coach, Newcastle have started winning?

  Guess that's a no then. Hughton came in as a defensive coach yet your suggesting it was his idea to play 3 strikers we conceded in the birmingham game when our defence was a joke and conceded against spurs too so therefore no i dont think he has had in impact as much as your trying to suggest

As for denise wise as i believe he has no influence at all in first team affairs and is there as more a directors/scouting role i also don't believe denise wise has anything to do with the first teams improved performances at all!

I agree Keegan may not be amongst the best tacticians in the world but he isn't anywhere near as stupid as some people seem to think.

As I said earlier its a complete joke to suggest that someone who has played at the level Keegan has and has managed at the level he has, is completely clueless. Its just not true, completely over exagerated and overly hyped y people themselves who arent really sure what they are talking about.

People associate a tactical game of football with being defensively sound. They assume that Keegan is clueless on the basis he likes to play attacking football. Attacking football is an art form and is every bit as difficult as creating a strong defensive team that doesnt conceed. I'm not that bothered about people's opinion of him though to be honest. If I get to watch football like the last three games more often than not next season I'll be a happy fan, and one who may have to dust off the passport.

Barry or Bullard
Brown or Silvestre
Another Centre back
Ashdon or Crouch

Silvestre wont be coming if a certain joey barton is at the club and i assume he will be (as was the case last summer) although hope not.Peter crouch would be a good singing imo he is a quality player and gets a lot of stick simple due to his height "he has a good touch for a big game" is most annoying thing i hear as he has an excellent first touch as a footballer (height not relevant).2 centre backs is a definite must and 1 needs to be world class (if possible).

Its a bit of a 'wish list' but still being realistic. I'd love a world class defender but I can't think of one that would come to us. If we can't get a top draw one I'd sooner have a tried and tested one from the EPL rather than another punt of a foreign one.

Sadly it looks like Charlie N'Zogbia will be one his way to London. See if he can improve his poker down there on some of his showings a t Aspers. Cracking player but clearly not happy and has stagnated because of it. Apparently the NOTW is quoting a swap involving Lennon.

Not likely we could sign 1 of the world class defenders in prem so it would have to be a foreign player with a good reputation if we were going to(which i agree with our track record is a risk).It does seem nzogbia wants away and although he is a good player pointless having someone who wants away him and lennon are both about the same level (although lennon cant cross a ball for shit) so would be ok deal if it was a straight swap.

I am glad it seems to be coming together for Keegan, he seems a nice guy and cares about Newcastle.

i'm guessing you have a different opinion of Lennon than your manager Nem? If Lennon played like he did when he came on for England a couple of times last year he'd be well worth having. more miss than hit by those standards from what I have seen.

I cannot see a straight swap deal? In fact, when has there ever been a transfer that was concluded as a straight swap?

Chris Hughton is a great coach. He was a defender when he played for Spurs/Ireland, and he was first team coach under Jol at Spurs.

Keegan becomes manager and Newcastle lose 8 or 9 on the trot.

Hughton comes in and the first 4 games since his appointment you win?

It has a lot to do with Hughton me thinks...

To be fair Nem, we had stopped playing Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Man U, which also helped. Wink

LOL! Come on! Firstly we were starting to play decent football before he came in, and results changed without him actually working with the players. These results are all about the new confidence and lack of pressure as opposed to any coaching they have had in the last two weeks! If he was able to have an impact like that he'd still be at Tottenham.

Striaght swops are rare but for me these two have similar values. I know one has full international caps etc, but he also happens to be english.

Will be intersting to see how long the 4-3-3 lasts, Milner,N'zogbia/Lennon and Duff will probably be keen to find out too!
