If Newcastle had never sold anyone...

How good would the team be? I'd say better, but probably not good enough to be Top 4.

Players to consider include Given, Milner, Bellamy, Parker, N'Zogbia, Bassong, Distin, Duff and Martins, Owen, Caldwell, Woodgate, Hughes, O'Brien, Viana, Rossi, Bowyer, Emre, Rozenhal, Saha and Dyer.

For a 25-man squad (ignoring the age rules) I'd go for:

Given, Harper, Krul, Enrique, N'Zogbia, Simpson, S. Taylor, Bassong, Williamson, Coloccini, Distin, Parker, Tiote, Barton, Nolan, Milner, Emre, Viana, Gutierrez, Ben Arfa, Duff, Carroll, Bellamy, Martins, and Ameobi (naturally).

 

Shame that we've been horrediously badly managed for a while isn't

 

Duff Martians?

Duff ain't getting any younger, would prefer Jonas

Martins, Scores the spectacilur and misses the easy. Like that Arsenal game he's a natural left footer takes a pen with his right and skys it if memory serves right.

 

Surely you'd have Beye in there? Simpson's a good RB and I like him but Beye was a lot better imo. I'd have:
Given, Harper, Forster
Beye, Simpson
Bassong, Colo, Willo, Saylor, Woody
Jose, van Arnold
Milner, Jonas
Tiote, Parker, Barton, Nolan, Emre
Charlie, HBA
Carroll, Martins, Bellamy, Shola

 

Ferdinand, all the way.

 

I'd take Shearer first if we're including the retired, but Les isn't playing anymore.

 

If Newcastle never sold anyone... they would need a bigger team bus

 

Haha, I'd love to see insommnia back, even though he's a tool
