What you're on about now? That their partnership didnt help them equally?  If so, your first post implied it.

 

Eh???

 

Simple Question

 

after a long chat with a mate of mine ive been wondering who has been alan shearer best partner for newcastle.

 

who does every one think?

 

Simple answer

 

Bellamy. He did wonders for Shearer's late career although I don't think he'd ever acknowledge it.

 

Nothing implied anywhere. :dontknow:

As a pair Shearer and Ferdinand.

 

As a partnership Shearer and Bellamy.

 

 

Overall Sheringham.

 

Sutton surely.

 

Nah, that as an equation was Shearer, remainder Sutton.

 

Sheringham and Shearer were both worthy of each other, Sutton wasn't imo.

Load of bollocks. Sutton was the perfect foil for Shearer and I don't have the numbers to hand but goals to games he must have scored bucket loads more with Sutton than any other striker.

Aye, because that was when he was at his peak, not because Sutton was any kind of perfect foil.

 

Shearer has said himself that his perfect striking partner was Sheringham.

 

 

It hardly matters, but all I'm saying is that Sutton was there for Shearer. Whereas Shearer and Sheringham were there for each other.

Was allowed to stay 3 seasons too long in reality. Two of his last three managers tried unsuccesfully to sell him. Was embarrassing the hold he had over the Club especially when he took on that final season.

 

Did he hold the Club back ultimately?

Yes, both on and off the pitch.

 

The failure of the club to deal with Shearer's retirement professionally was an even bigger disaster than the appointment of Souness - though in a sense, the two go together. Souness was the only manager who was prepared to put up with the situation.

I have to admit he got too big for his boots towards the end. For example, who's to say that Gullit wouldn't have produced a decent team if he hadn't been punted out after dropping Al?

 

Total legend though obviously... that's a minor criticism (and more of the club than of Shearer himself).
