Woodgate, Dyer, Jenas, Bellamy, Bowyer and Vianna were out for a good chunk of the campaign. I don't know about you but Id rather have Bellamy/Shearer than Owen/Heskey. In addition their midfield is much better. We have Gerrard who is probably the best midfielder in the premiership but apart from that, Newcastle oust us. Also, my main point of price comparasion was to compare the ability of the players Houllier has bought as compared to rival managers which I didn't make clear. Sorry. Finally, I have being wating for Houllier to get the sack as much as anyone.
yeah right.
shearer, woodgate and given are the only players from newcastle who would even stand a chance of getting into our best eleven.
jenas is overrated. dyer has scored 3 goals in two years (i rest my case). even heskey scores more goals than bellamy.
they were just unfortunate to get injuries at an unfortunate time of the season. for us, hamann didn't play till november, henchoz was out until january. oh yeah and we also lost carragher and baros for 4 MONTHS each in one game. add that to our BEST striker being out for 3 months.
yeah looking back newcastle were quite unlucky.
