May 27, 201115 yr id be very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very suprised
May 27, 201115 yr I've just almost been sick into my socks....agent wanker talk - is he short on his contract already?
May 27, 201115 yr id be very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very happy
May 27, 201115 yr He'd stopped being any use in a five man midfield. I'm pretty sure he'd be fuck all use in a four.
May 27, 201115 yr Would walk into our team. Miles better than anything we have in midfield (maybe apart from Holden). Why would he come back to us though when he got stick every week from deluded fans who knew feck all about football who believed he was shit
May 27, 201115 yr deluded fans who knew feck all about football who believed he was shit At the time, he was shit. Many of us said that a change of clubs would help him out; but he was awful at the end with us.

Why would he come back to us though when he got stick every week from deluded fans who knew feck all about football who believed he was shit Nolan HAD been shit for the last one and a half years he'd been with us. The move to Newcastle was a good move for all concerned at the time. Nolan will never be any use to anyone if part of a four man midfield due to his lack of mobility. Play him just behind a lone striker though (like he did with Andy Carrol) and he's a valuable asset.
May 27, 201115 yr At the time, he was shit. Many of us said that a change of clubs would help him out; but he was awful at the end with us. Or maybe it was more the shite he had playing around him..
May 27, 201115 yr Or maybe it was more the shite he had playing around him.. No. His movement stopped, he gained weight and he generally couldn't be arsed. He was rubbish.
May 27, 201115 yr 'tis amazing how a couple of years pass (or 18 months) and some folk can go misty eyed... All Nolan contributed in his last days here was moaning at the ref and doing that backwards star jump when closing down a player. That's not to say he wasn't a brilliant servant to the club, because he was. The time was right to move on. It was a good move for him and a good move for us.
May 27, 201115 yr gotta say, he's done pretty well at newcastle. his time here just got stale. if it wasnt nolan, i'd want him signed tomorrow.
May 27, 201115 yr Hmmm.......Nolan and Holden in centre midfield, with Muamba sitting in behind. It's a yes from me

It didn't matter how he played, he was a scapegoat. Edited May 27, 201115 yr by bwfcdan
May 27, 201115 yr A good move for us? Why? It didn't matter how he played, he was a scapegoat. Because we got more than ?4m for a player who was doing nothing for us and had done nothing for us for close on 2 years. As said above, he's got legendary status for us and nothing will ever change that. He scored in two victories at Old Trafford - one-one will ever forget those goals and those victories However, that doesn't mean he hadn't gone stale though by the end. That is all.
May 27, 201115 yr nolan stopped scoring thats all that changed chances still came chances went so he was shite just like the taylor syndrome i think he was also taking on megson so he had to go
May 27, 201115 yr No. His movement stopped, he gained weight and he generally couldn't be arsed. He was rubbish. But his pointing got better.
