However i don't really see Sam splashing out £9m on a right back. I am convinced Geremi should be playing ar right back as i havn't been convinced by some of his midfield performances and seem to remember his better performances coming from right back. Don't get me wrong i think he will be a fantastic player for us and has done a great job of captain but i would rather see Butt, Smith and Emre battling in the midfield. Does anybody think that with Faye coming in that Sam might adopt a back 3 (Faye, Tayls and Roz) and play with wing backs (Milner and Charles)? Although not 100% convinced by this formation from past experiences under Robson when he tried it i feel this could make us even more solid especially away from home.

Carr is too slow, too small and makes too many mistakes. Ramage switches off and lacks true quality and confidence. Geremi for me would be ideal as rightback, as he could still have the same influence he has if he were playing in a slightly deeper role. However we would still need cover for him. I believe Glenn Johnston on the cheap would be a great singing, he is english, had experience with the nation setup and has vital premierleague history. So as a squad player he is vital. He did well at Portsmouth and to be fair, many have failed at Chelsea. Faye is also a great signing, both very shrewd. Still believe our defence to be vulnerable. Johnston, Taylor, Roz and Enrique have ZERO premiership history, especially as a unit with only Taylor, who is still learning his trade, having experience. We need someone who can learn these lads. Deco is a pipedream and to be honest, I dont think playing for a gritty Newcastle side, which is what we are at the moment, would unlock the best out of him. Personally think he would sulk alot especially considering the nature of our game. If he cant get his funk on for Barcelona, then leave him. He is spiralling. We should only be signing players which are either unhappy at a bigger club or want to move UP to a bigger club in Newcastle. Deco would be in decline, and I seriously think we would take a loss. Emre is a quality player, give him the chance especially with Butt and Geremi keeping it together behind him. Im disapointed Sam hasnt been able to get the experienced centreback he so often cited as his prime target. Why Ramage, Carr and Baba are still at the club for, is another concern. ALL THREE are quite simply hitting above their weight. I couldnt careless if Ramage is local, SO AM I and 50,000 fans at home games, for me thats enough. Personally however, I would buy Glen and Faye, put Geremi as rightback with Glen as backup. Meaning midfield we could put Barton, Emre and Butt. With Nzogbia getting chances in place of Emre and or Enrique depending on form/opposition and Duff competing with Milner. The situation regarding rightback is rather conspicuous, WE AINT GOT ONE.

Remember how Zog reacted when Duff was brought in last year? Yes its the other way around as Oba was bought to cover Owen but you get the drift. I think he'd like to get the chance to play with Owen and not always be his replacement and I hope Sam gives him this chance. I think Oba might be suffering of a bit of the Owens.

Hoyte, Johnson and ryan taylor are all medicore players. I also hope we sign Diop so he can replace Butt as DM.

But then again, if u had asked me about centre backs before Sam came i properly wouldnt name Rozehnal and Cacapa and they both look class acts so i guess its a question of "in Sam we trust"...

I would rather our players showed some passion and were pissed off if subbed unless injured. I know I was never happy to be subbed but you do realise the reason, just doesnt meen you need to be happy about it. As others have said players are under instructions to go down the tunnel. Now if he stormed off down the tunnel like the media, and those more gullible fans who believe all they read, said then why would he shake the managers hand? I think in short being unhappy about being subbed is a good thing, as long as you realise why, which is fairly obvious.
