Sometimes people don't fit in their surroundings. For example, Richardson at United gets a lot of stick but give him a full year at a smaller club (Sunderland?) and he'll do better than what Pennant is doing for Liverpool.

Jon Dahl had only good things to say about Newcastle and the fans. Kevin – yes in fact when Souness was here – there was a rumour he would go after him – but he didn’t.

It's just our luck. Ed, that happens alot, I would have loved to have had Jon Dahl Tomasson back after we sold him and he found his way to AC Milan. It’s just our luck.

I like Ramage and when he played together with Taylor looked good....hope he can come through big time next season. Not sure what we will do with Gooch - but I'd like to keep him. Quite honestly not sure why we didn't go for why we didn't go for Sol Campbell last year - Roeder is right when he says he wants to bring in young talent - but there are times when you have to buy players for tactical reasons - who will do a job over two years or so. Young Ramage and Taylor would have benefited from the experience of Campbell. Archie – thanks for comments.

Hardly a game goes by when he doesn't deliberately smack someone in the face. He needs to cut it out - it will cost us eventually. Bramble has to go - he's had his chance and is just not worth the risk anymore. Even in the Chelsea game after about 4 minutes he had a brainfart and we were just plain lucky to get away with it. I think Gooch is worth keeping and will improve. Have you noticed how one player can make a team? Look at Arsenal without Henry, Chelsea without Terry and Spurs without King. Arsenal also had a problem a couple of years ago when Campbell was out for a while. Who is our Ledley King? Who keeps our team together? We had a good patch for a while where we started to look pretty solid, knocked the ball around and looked like we could play. Our recent dip in form has coincided with the loss through injury of one particular player. Who is it that seems to make our team gel? Its not Owen or Ameobi, or even Parker - our good luck charm is actually Peter Ramage Not since the golden days of Peter Beardsley have we had a player who puts that much effort into playing for us. Ref the comment on Gooch not making the team - I dont think its his performances causing the problem, I think it's Roeders team selection. Why else did we see so little of Rossi when we had him? Why is N'Zogbie living on the bench? Why is Luque in the doghouse? Lets not forget - Luque is not a forward - he's a midfielder who just hasn't been used properly. He's not a Martins - he's a Beckham. And at the moment, while we do have a marvellous array of midfield talent - nobody is making things happen We dont lack the skill - we just lack the organisation.

I don't think hes shown enough quality to play for the toon, we might as well keep bramble & let Gooch go. I'd prefer to let them both go and start again at the back. 2 quality full-backs & a quality centre-half(woodgate). We do have Ramage, Huntington & edgar comming thru. I just know TBramble will have a blinder if he joins another club..sods law gooch shouldn’t be allowed to stay..

Fabricio Coloccini of Deportivo La Coruña could be a surprise acquisition (there was news we were after him in Jan - don't know if there's any thruth in that) and Curtis Davis (WBA) would be good for an up and coming center back.

I personally hope we sign him - maybe all is not lost - but Roeder is keeping a lot close to his vest these days. Gooch has great potential and doesn't make many mistakes and he's also 6'5" and very good in the air.

He epitomizes what Newcastle players should be -> skillful, gutsy and he'll give everything he's got for the team !!!
