Newcastle sign Kuqi untill end of season

he is undergoing a medical at the moment but is going to sign untill the end of the season, he may 34 and not played at premier league level but he is 6' 2'', powerfull and scores a goal about once every 4 1/2 games which isnt great but hopefully he can fill in if we have an injury crisis, would have perferec ewerthon but it looks like we have gone for cheap wages as usuel.

 

Didn't he play for Blackburn in the prem ?

 

Please god. No.
I'll probably end up eating my words when he scores a hat trick.

 

yea he did, scored 7 goals

 

He's a good player, good team member which will make him fit in quite well. Plus, being a free transfer, there will be no pressure on him so he'll probably perform better because of that

 

Wish i had your optimism.

 

He's experienced and has a good attitude, I can see him contributing to the progress of the younger strikers in training. I'd love for him to score for us to see his celebration but I can't see him playing more than a couple of games and he's more the type to hold the ball up for someone else, Nolan probably.

 

What is his celebration? This can make or break an otherwise useless player (trying to be optimistic though).

 

cant see him being no more then a bench warmer, when we could just recall xisco back and give zamblera,ranger a chance..

he is just a less fit lovenkrandsi most fans would rather see him play.

 

hes a body i suppose

 

The bellyflop, check it out on YouTube

 

Just had a look, class!

Hope we see it at least once

 

Our luck, he'd score a goal, do the flop, and injure himself.

 

I'm not sure if we put a recall clause in Xisco's loan contract...

 

That's Harper's plan

 

(to the chorus of Lady Marmalade)

Kuqi, Kuqi, ya ya Shefti (Hey hey hey)
Kuqi, Kuqi, ya he's here (he's here)
Joined us after leaving Swansea (oh yeah)
Shefti Kuqi flying Fin!

 

He's massive, extremely powerful, and as long as he's making a nuisance of himself/winning balls in the air and not giving up possession he'll be a good signing.

He's also a center forward who has relied on strength his entire career. If he hits a good run and gels well with the team we could have a player in the prime form of his life.

 

From some Dennis Wise-ing he looks fairly impressive, but he can't be as good as he looks or he wouldn't move around so many clubs and be unattached now, surely? He does seem to have a good finish when he does score though. Hopefully another Sibierski style signing.

 

Best of luck lads, dont see him as a good signing, not good enough for Swansea, could be a dream signing, inspired even.
Im sure you have youngans at the club chomping on the bit to play, you must have somebody you would like to see play,
rather than a fat journeyman. as a matter of interest, does he use the same casino as pardew? also nice to see Chris H,
in the running for the job at the baggies, he will do well for them Im sure, I liked and respect the guy, gentleman and a
credit to the game, you were privilaged to have had him. Pleased for the man.

 

As far as I'm concerned he is signed as back up for the other three lads. When Ameobi returns he may not even be that but, for the time being, if he is in the Black and White shirt I'll support him.
