F365 reflection

Football365's feature on top debuts is a good read. The quote from Geremi is interesting:

GEREMI (NEWCASTLE UNITED)
"If today I say 'we're going to win the title' people will laugh at me," says Geremi with unerring accuracy, as Newcastle sit proudly at the top of the Premier League thanks to Obafemi Martins' goals, Steven Taylor's defensive nous and the addition of Geremi to the Toon midfield. He might not have been many Newcastle fans' ideas of a glamour signing, but he could well be the free transfer of the summer as he adds much-needed steel, leadership and experience to Sam Allardyce's side. The title? Not a chance. Top six? Why the hell not?

One of the big things Big Sam has done is buy well. He hasn't bought a superstar in, but bought solid squad players to back up the superstars already at the club (Owen, Martins, Duff). Geremi is indicative of this, and Sam's continued faith in Steven Taylor will allow him to develop into the next John Terry, probably.
