BunnyB 0 Posted August 30, 2008 He started for Newcatsle against Arsenal, he didn''t look fit bit he won virtualy everything in the air, Money from Shackel + dead line day = Ameobi? I doubt it but would be nice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lincs CR 0 Posted August 30, 2008 I wouldn''t have thought so... Glenn said he was on the phones late into the night and first thing this morning coming to "some sort of agreement" with a club... I have a sneaking feeling he still is certain we can get Iversen... if he gets him before November he deserves a great pat on the back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scot-e-dog 34 Posted August 30, 2008 Ameobi was okay in the second half, but he was dire in the first. What disappointed me the most though was his apparent lack of effort for a player supposedly fighting for a first team spot (and having been handed one, you would have thought he''d try to make an impression).I know he''s only 80% fit, but at times it really did look like he didn''t give a monkeys. One half hearted go at a tackle, then he''d stroll a way again. Same sort of thing applied when he had the ball as well.I was (still am?) in the pro-Ameobi camp. I think he can do a good job in the chumpionship, but unless he puts a bit more effort in, he''s not going to make many fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From what I saw today I think we''d look good with a player of his type alongside Lupoli. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shannock Bob 0 Posted August 31, 2008 I admit to being unfaithful yesterday. I am a season ticket holder but the offer of a free ticket to the Gooners came up so I went to catch that.I can categorically state do not want Shola Ameobi at this club. He was awful. He didnt win everything in the air as another poster has suggested, maybe 50%. What he did win hardly ever created anything. His touch was awful. His passing was awful and he didnt have one effort on goal. Yes I sympathise he probably isnt 100% fit but at any rate he didnt convince me that he is the answer to our problems one bit.Go for Iverson or maybe even that lad from Hartlepool if we can negotiate the price down a bit but Ameobi...not on my nelly. Let the scum have him! OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,632 Posted August 31, 2008 To be fair they did say on R5 that he looked as if he was carrying his injury and perhaps 80% fit, but it does make all those goings on at Binners look even more odd; they didn''t need a medical to know he was injured as we all knew, they then don''t sign him as he''ll be out for more than a month, and then he plays within 2 weeks...

Perhaps Magillton will think otherwise before mouthing off about a player signing before they put pen to paper in future, must be a bit embarrasing for him.

West One Canary 0 Posted August 31, 2008 I was also at the Arsenal Newcastle game (part of a stag weekend, so against my will of course). I have to say as well that Ameobi was totally dire. I wouldn''t pay £100,000 for him. Mind you the Gooners were pretty awesome. Clichy didn''t give Ameobi a chance. Maybe we could get him in when we sell Shacks.
