Mike Ashley wants pace and lots of it.

To me their has been a trend in recent events in terms of signings for the toon.

That is that Mike wants rid of slower, more overrated players like Barton, Nolan, Carroll and Routledge to be replaced by more fresher and quicker talent such as Cabaye and Ben Arfa.

Such is the desperation to keep players with pace itr seems that Mike Ashley does not want to sell Enrique unless a high bid comes.

And I do believe that he is correct in doing this especially as the modern premier league requires quicker players.

I think you toon fans should therefore, be optimistic of more players coming through and hopefully for you more slower players like Ranger will be sold with faster strikers like Lovenkrands, Ba, Best and possibly another striker being the main strikers up-front. I would add Ameobi to the "to-go" list except who would want to buy him anyway?

 

???

but yes we are optimistic

 

Ranger to me, on occasions, it does come across as a player without sufficient pace for playing up-front.

 

I smell a wum....

 

say this about jose enrique, he's quick, he's fast and he's got pace.

you seem to have one characteristic on your mind judging by your previous posts...

 

This guy is a WUM, just so you know. Posted a near identical post on our own board, It's rather sad really.

 

He's not exactly Usain Bolt but he's not slow

 

Can only mean one thing then..... it's BamBam again

 

?

What was wrong with my post on the LFC part?

Just stating the obvious

 

Apparently he's one of the quickest in the squad. At least him and Lovenkrands think so

 

What a ****ing stupid article. Wayne Routledge is one of the fastest players in the Premier League, are you saying he's better than Gerrard or Joey Barton?

 

His pace is not used in a sufficient way unlike players like N'Zogbia, who I feel has been rather missed by Newcastle over the years.

Also I feel that the return of Ben Arfa will allow the team the progress and improve because of the pace add to the side

 

Really? Thinking about it he would be pretty high up

 

Spot on. The one and only!

Also back to the article the presence of Ameobi still seems worrying as he lacks the pace that made him a star in his younger days.

I remember one game where his pace couldn't even be handled by Barcelona

 

This guy is an old school WUM on 606.

Pace, pace, pace etc.

 

It was last season but in the programme Lovenkrands reckoned Ranger and Enrique would beat him over 50 yards but he'd beat them over 10

 

Wayne is almost fasting as me! Doofus!

Ricardo is a lie!

 

Yes and those years have past and I have been proven to be correct.

Players like Nunez, Keane, Dossena, Konchesky, Poulsen and my club have all failed due to a lack of pace.

Look at Torres his pace made him a hero at Liverpool. Now he has lost a bit of it he cannot score for toffee

 

All within 2 or 3 days of each other, how bizarre.
