I don't get to see English football (us aside) as much as the majority of you... I'm interested to know if people think Rooney could become as good an attacking player as Barnes was for us?
When was the last time anyone had success at Newcastle anyway? Take your pointthough. The Beardsley thing is pretty embarrassing, the huge howler we made getting rid of such quality when he had another 7 years or so in him....
The last time this happened it was Keegan's genius plan to play Southgate as holding midfielder to mark Mehmet Scholl... couple of hours later... Having said that, a 352 might work.
Think Harry had him on trial at West Ham so should know a thing or two about him... he's not been special in the German league though, nothing like as good as Hleb and look at the impact he's made this season so far...
