Could Troisi be the answer?

Looked very gifted with the ball at his feet.

I've been told that he is definitely away in the summer.

Has gone backwards this season, looked a better player 2 years ago!!  Bit like Matty Pattison, once he got on the verge of the 1st team went to pot...Can't see him ever making it as a premiership player and even doubt he would cut it in the championship.  He's got good quick feet but doesn't produce anything and can't pass the ball, which is a bit of a problem when you're a midfielder!!

I guess the answer is no then

Toon pair will leave the club

 

May 6 2008 by Alan Oliver, Evening Chronicle

 

REPUBLIC of Ireland international Stephen Carr will leave St James’s Park at the end of the season.

 

And so too will local boy Peter Ramage and young Aussie James Troisi.

 

This was revealed to the Chronicle today by Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan in between the furore as to whether he will be given enough money to find replacements next season.

 

All three players are out of contract and, while Ramage was given the chance to stay, which he turned down, neither Carr nor Troisi were offered new deals.

 

Keegan told me: “Peter Ramage is going to go, and so is Stephen Carr. They’re both going, and they know that.

 

“We wanted to keep Rammy, but he wants to play regular football, and I couldn’t guarantee him that here.

 

“He goes with our best wishes, as does Stephen Carr, who’s been a great pro for this club. He wasn’t offered a contract, and I explained the reasons why.

 

“James Troisi’s also gone. He has gone to play for Australia in the Olympics, but he has not been offered a contract.”

 

Carr has made 107 appearances and scored one goal for Newcastle – at Southampton – since his move from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2004, and he could have the chance to stay in the Premier League with both Everton and West Ham.

 

There will be no tears shed by the United faithful at the departure of Carr, but it’s always sad when the Magpies lose a Geordie like Ramage.

 

The 24-year-old defender’s chances of establishing himself this season disappeared when he badly damaged his cruciate ligaments in the derby with Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium in August.

 

And there will be no shortage of clubs who will want to take Ramage, especially in the Championship, with Wolves’ boss Mick McCarthy leading the way.

 

Carr too yipee
