    Sky News have just reported that Lee Bowyer is set to join ex teammate Jonathon Woodgate at Newcastle. I think he would be a very good addition to the Newcastle squad, and Bobby Robson will be well able to keep him in line. Another good signing by Sir Bobby, I expect Newcastle to put in a good challenge again next season.

    He is a fantastic signing but he is just a stupid cúnt. If he could curb his petulance then he will be a massive city. Me thinks he was a player who scouse were crying out for.
    Sir Bob does it again.

    Agreed, he would be a great addition to any team, including United, but he has some serious discipline issues to face up to.

    Ya gotta wonder though if he does calm down will he lose something from his game ala Roy Keane ?

    I have to disagree a player who has gone backwards 3 or 4 years a superb talent but then there was all the court stuff + stamping on the players head, Sir Bob does it again? I wouldn't count my chickens just yet.

    Hmmmm, as a Newcastle supporter I don't know how happy I would be about him signing. We have loads of midfielders already, for a start.

    Is Bowyer left footed? If so I would assume Bobby wants to use him instead of Gary Speed who is too bloody old now, really. I can't see him taking out Robert, Jenas or Dyer and I was hoping Viana would be playing there more regularly next season.

    I think he would be a great signing ..... 2 years ago!! I dont think hes shown anything like his true ability in the last two seasons (for either West Ham or Leeds). I think that may also be a factor why Houllier decided against signing him.

    But then again, maybe Robson will be able to get the best out him.

    The Newcastle midfield has been lacking now for some time of a player like Speed or Lee but better.

    Bowyer could be that guy.

    He has the ability and if it was anyone else signing him I would wonder but Bobby can handle players like him and get the best out if him.

    Bobby does it again. :D

    P.S Also dont forget its cost the Toon Army NOTTHING! :cool:

    I was just thinking that myself earlier - that Robson might get the best out of him and calm him down a bit.

    Great signing for Newcastle methinks. He's right footed afaik, plays in the centre or on the right.
