I don't know, just going off what was being said on Bolton forums that Grapey posted. His form for 'Castle that season suggested they were right too. i think allardyce did take him from bolton to newcastle, can't see him doing that if he was poor for a couple of seasons. to be fair to nolan the whole newcastle team were really poor that season not just him, the thing is he's done the business for newcastle this past season and played in the center for a team that won promotion convincingly and scored his fare share of goals and some good ones too, very much like a player rediscovering his better form. what has o neil done exactly? kept boro ticking over? ticking over to what?

Well he did and didn't work, they got relegated.
I'd prefer O'Neil every day of the week over Nolan.

O'Neil impressed in that season though in the top flight, Nolan didn't.
He's younger, fitter and can play on the wing and in the middle. That versatility makes him a good squad player for us and with some quality signings around him he'd be a good signing.
I just don't rate Nolan based on recent seasons.

suppose versatility is a good thing with a 25 man squad but i still think we should be signing players in positions especially CM who have a proven track record of scoring goals, nolan has one. our forwards need help from elsewhere in the team.

If Nolan played for somebody other than Newcastle then he wouldn't have got as many goals.
I think it was Fullermagic who found a link to a toon forum when they were slating him (even tho they were top of the league!)

We need some central midfielders yes but we don't need Nolan.
