There's some cream for that.

Then we'll have to agree to disagree on this one then, Squire. For me, Allardyce was always looking to set up the new Bolton, but with better footballers. Viduka as his Davies, Barton as his Nolan etc. Thus forming a halfway house between the football that the Geordies expect as their right, and the only style of play that Allardyce is comfortable with.

Ouch.

Newcastle United need to cover a percentage of Kevin Nolan's £60,000-a-week wages to help his move to Hull City.

The People says Hull chief Phil Brown wants his former Bolton Wanderers star to provide some fire and power into his midfield next season.

The Tigers would take him on a season-long loan with a view to a full-time switch, but they are struggling to match Nolan's contract on Tyneside - and do not want to upset their own dressing room by breaking the bank.

Now the Geordies, who are under pressure to cut their payroll, will have to give Nolan money to go or subsidise a loan. Nolan only joined from Bolton for £4million in January.

Well we have to consider the source, though it is consistent with the Toon's financial planning.

£60,000 a week? Wow.

Phil Brown and Sam Allardyce cannot get over Bolton can they?

Understandably so, considering what they achieved here. As for 60k for Nolan...

Been superb today, as have Newcastle on the whole.

Spelt defence wrong....

Done well today, picked out an absolute beaut of a pass first half, which almost led to a goal.

I'm enjoying this game, drying off by the fire, with a cold beer in one hand and a brew in the other. Trying to forget what I've witnessed today

Aye he was good, but remember it's The Championship. Finally found his level maybe?

He's played against (arguably) two premiership standard teams to be fair

Just scored.

Hat trick for him today against Ipswich.

I feel happy for him to be succeeding as a player again, even if it's in a lower division.

Can't ever remember Kevin scoring a hattrick before. Good to see him enjoying his football again and obviously getting more time and space in the Championship than he used to get in the Premiership. Looks a bit slimmer and fitter as well, the north east air seems to be suiting him.

On a slightly different note, just how poor can the Championship be this year if the three relegated sides are the top three in the division? Especially given the mess that Newcastle are in off the pitch.

I read this Championship article a couple of weeks back tipping all 3 to go up and at this rate that may just happen.

Just to say, you know, I'd have him back in a heartbeat...

I'd love to know why, he was so poor for us in the last couple of years, though of course a goalscoring midfielder is a precious commodity.

I think Cohen is doing the same job Nolan did, but he is doing it just that bit better.

William the White · Post by **William the White** » Sun Sep 27, 2009 9:31 pm

Because he may now be refinding that precious skill... I hope so for his sake because he was outstanding when on form (I agree there were two disappointing seasons)...

I'm already on record (Brum thread) as hoping cohen might metamorphose into that player - tho suspect he'll never have that loyalty or 'feel' for the club...

I'd have him back in a second.
