According to Matt Jensengreenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread |
We made a bid for him (along with Rangers) just before Sounness took over (ie. About March this year) - it was Sounness coming that made him stay. Now, to my mind that's THREE times he's turned us down. What are we doing bidding for these people?

Matt Jansen isn't worth the bother. Anyone who thinks good career moves involve Crystal Palace and Blackburn over us or Man Utd really needs their head examining. Let the little runt fester in the 1st division.

Good player who's had bad advice. He a class player, and I'd take him like a shot.
He's the kind of player I'd like to see playing up front alongside AS - others include Pahars (S'ton) and Marcus Stewart (Ipswich) who we should have bought from Huddersfield - a snip at £3mm).

Get Michael Bridges. He must be sick of the Leeds reserves by now. Only thing is, I think 50% of what we'd pay for him goes to the Makems... Could get round that by swapping Kieron Dyer for Bridges and some cash.

Bridges is injured Dougal and out for some time.

I feel O`Neil will recall Burchill from Brum, he is a firm favourite with the fans, getting the goals, young bit to learn, fast and mobile Gregory and a couple of others are sniffing around, Bridges/Jensen/ Cordone nah, this kid is better.
