Marcellino to Valencia?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

I don't really care where he goes but the press are reporting that we could do a swap deal with out of favour, Joachim Bjorklund coming our way.

29 year old Swedish International who had a few good years at Rangers.

Any of our North of the border correspondents got any views on Bjorklund?

Funny how these rumours are always strongest after the transfer window is closed....

Does the xfr window exclude loaners???

I was thinking about that Screach. If we could do it we should get Bjorklund on loan till the end of the season, agreeing his fee now.

Marcellino can go in exchange on loan and a feee agreed then at the end of the season if both parties are happy the deal goes through.

We are not exposed to the risk of signing Bjorklund and we are nor exposed in defence with Marcellino!

I see Jocky Bjorkland as more of a nursemaid type to a traditional, no frills center half aka Hendry or the left in a three man set up. There must be a end purpose to recruiting and buying, not knee jerks to cover for injuries , or tantrums , this is where in my view as a club we are abysmal

Sorry DB >>>>views, Pacy , bags of it , powerful , strong , but he cannot heed the ball, no long raking passes, max 20 yards, nose bleeds over center line, okay

Nose bleeds over the centre line is fine by mer. We need a defenders defender which makes your comment about inability to head a ball a bit worrying.
