???? 0 Posted September 12, 2011 I remember we were linked with him pre season and at the time he was a realistic target. probably not so much now that he is establishing himself in the Newcastle team.My point is that he is the exact sort of player i feel we are missing upfront now. He''s quick,strong, a good finisher has a good footballing brain,good with both feet, good with his head etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted September 12, 2011 Vaughan.....Best has a pretty average striker rate, never been a wonderful player. But just because he''s looked good in a couple of games, he''s the exact type of player we need?Bet if we had signed him in the summer, plenty of people would not have been all that happy...

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted September 12, 2011 I think QPR will stay up this season. Purely as a result of their last signings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, it was 8 goals in 15 games, not starts, of which 11 of those games were starts and 4 were from the bench. Whether you want to say 8 goals in 11 starts, or 8 goals in 15 games, it is highly impressive either way. Since when do hat tricks not count though? Does that mean we have to take away Holt''s hat tricks last season? If so he scored 15 league goals instead of 21 :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yellowbeagle 0 Posted September 12, 2011 [quote user="Prem1"]QPR looking very very good tonight.[/quote]Agree they have looked really good tonight especially SWP in the first half best player on the pitch by a mile. But despite all the good play they still have struggled to finish off the chances just the same as us and Swansea at the end of the day. I dont think their defence will hold firm against better teams either. without doubt SWP and Barton make them a much better side though.On the subject of Leon Best imo i dont think he would have made any difference to our goal threat if we''d signed him, had a good little spell recently but then so will some of our strikers over the course of a season.

paul moy 235 Posted September 12, 2011 QPR did indeed look very good and could well have won that game as they created a lot of good chances. They have what we are missing and that is flair and pace which SWP and Taarabt definitely have. It''s a shame we could not get Pacheco but we need somebody similar who can do the unexpected... the closest we have is Hoolahan who Lambert does not favour to start. We were fat too slow and predictable on Sunday and we are in for a long struggle IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For all the really good play they could still have lost the game and with how on top they we''re that would be worrying me if i was a QPR fan, just as it bothers me when we play well and dont get the result after a good performance, because that usually indicates the side is missing something key rather than just playing badly.

Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted September 13, 2011 I have relatives who are Newcastle fans and they do not rate him that much. I do and he will get them their goals this season, Vuaghan has the potential to do the same but he needs to stay fit and we need to play him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
