Smith/Viduka combo could be a winner for the toon but it still won't help that abysmal defence will it?

Fair enough. I'm pretty cautious about the whole thing, it's difficult to understand why the hell he bought Newcastle in the first place... oh well, we'll see what happens.
Viduka and Smith... christ, that's a slower frontline than Wigan's deadly Sibierski/Heskey combo. I reckon Big Sam will use Smith as a mildfielder though, because we're pretty stacked up front. Decent enough player, lots heart & grit, but is he productive enough?
Defence needs to be sorted out ASAP, it's a joke at the moment (not that you need me to tell you that). Taylor is a decent prospect but is far too rash, don't know anything about Rozehnal, and the rest (Carr, Babayaro, Ramage, Huntington, etc...)? Pffft. I don't know too much about this Brazilian lad from Lyon we're bringing in but he seems like a canny player; has captained Lyon for the past 5 years, plenty of CL experience... could be just what we need.
