Royal Tea – your comment above is pretty close to the very definition of arrogance. We’re really lo0oking forward to playing you guys next year – if that kind of arrogance ever makes it to the Chelsea team – then watch out.
But Jose is far too good a manager to allow that ever to happen.

yep, good signing for the toon 28 – plenty of years ahead of him, played at the top level in the prem for 5 seasons i think… im not sure if he had one or more seasons at the smogs?

i dont think Sam will clarify his position, hes probably still trying things out at the mo and waiting to see who he can get his hands on to further restore the toons defence.

i think as things stand well move Solano back to wing to contend with MIlner and have Carr & Geremi for Right back… hopefully at some point well manage to get Carr away and build Ramage up or even get another right back.

we really need a left back though, i was praying we might swoop for Roysten Drenthe but gossip columns are saying Chelski have lodged a 7 mil bid….*doh*

anyway, ill be happy once we get a LB & CB at the very least.

in response to royal tea,utility player for chelsea because mourinho has spent over 220 million since he took charge and with all that money spent they are still boring to watch.he will be great at newcastle,play him at right back and get rid of carr.geremi will give it everything and with players like barton doing the same we will be alot harder to beat,should snap up shorey now,would get him for around 6 million.

Utility player for Chelsea, key player for Newcastle.

Says it all really. He might help Newcastle to a top half finish.

A great signing and I think it should signal the end of Sthephen Carr’s time at the club. Geremi, Solano, Dyer and Milner should be our four players fighting for the right back and right wing spots. Ideally, Dyer and Milner should not play at right back, but they could do so if needed. As for Geremi and Solano, they are both capable of playing in either position, so whats the need for Carr now? I also can’t wait to see Geremi take some free kicks this season. It’s been a while since i’ve actually thought we would score every time from a free kick, in the days of Robert and Shearer. Emre and Solano were too inconsistent last year and although Milner looks promising he always hits the bar!!

Geremi is a great signing for the toon,he seems to be loving his time here already.He comes across as been a really good pro with vast amount of experience ,which is valuable,and not here for the pay packet.Very good utility player ,can be used in many positions,on a free aswell,Big sam done good here.

i think big sam should clarify his postion in the team so he knows that he has his place at right back because he will play better there than people that have been mention like luke young maybe.

I think Geremi will prove to be a great signing. He is a typical Allardyce player – in his prime – but with great experience for huge teams like Real Madrid, Chelsea (and boro!). He has a great attitude, will be the fittest player in the squad, and when the injries come he can fill in almost anywhere on the park.

At the moment I think he will be first choice right back and I’m not sure he can play left back. When the must needed defensive reinforcement arrives, although right back is not priority as we need 2 centre backs and at leats 1 left back first, he will get a chance to play on the right of the midfield – possibly away from home because he has the edge defensively over Milner, who shouldn’t need to play every game this season.
