Why are there people saying no, he was rubbish and moaned on! Yes ok he did have the odd game where he looked lazy, but I have watched my DVD’s of the guy playing for us and he is brilliant! The amount of goals he set up during the seasons he was here speaks for itself and not forgetting his awesome goals he scored for us too, the free kicks aswell! We need him back and as Shearer has said before, he isn’t one of those guys that will get back all the time, like a Beckham or a Giggs, and you ‘could’ see him trying under Souness even though he hardly played when he was there.
But if he was very good at what he did, then I be happy for him to do that without getting back, as there are defenders and other players to do that on the pitch for him! He did very well for us and I thought he was a good player. It was the papers that got him into trouble printing something he said (and the papers twisted it) then publishing it on night before the UEFA Cup game! He was right with what he had said anyways, we were worse off then than the season before, any idiot could see that, and look where we are today!! WE NEED him and I hope we get him back, he loves the Toon and the fans and the whole area!
