Guest MrSundlofer Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 How could you get faster after an operation. He also had a strain injury before his operation and...(think it's called stiffness in English..) = pain on movement = faster after operation.

Might be like that kid in Roy of the Rovers who could kick the ball like a corkscrew after his op. That would be nifty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 nufcblog.com saying Stephen Folan, Haris Vuckic, Samuel Adjei, Brad Inman and Phil Airey have all been promoted to senior squad. Any truth in this? I'd imagine Inman and Vuckic were certain, but the rest? Folan is a slight surprise, he's impressed since his switch to the back, but I'd say Jeff Henderson (his CB partner) was the better of the pair. What about Adjei? How's he coming on? Heard he struggled to begin with, but has he developed anything this season? We don't hear anything about him here in Sweden. Same goes for Ole Söderberg, but he's been injured right? Aye Soderberg has been injured most of the season (think with a knee injury) so he's hardly featured. He'll have to work hard next season to re-establish himself in the reserves as it looks like Alnwick is going to jump straight in at reserve level. Adjei has had an ok 2nd half to season, he seemed to come into his own during the Youth Cup, but he's really inconsistent and frustratingly lazy at times. Hardly tracks back. Even worse he doesn't seem to realise he has pace, seemed to pull up when a defender comes at him so he can try and use skill to get past them rather then just blitzing by them. He's scored some nice goals, but on the flip side of that he's missed sitters. A World Cup call up could do him the world of good, give him a taste of big match atmosphere and experience - even if he hardly plays. Then again that didn't really work for Walcott. ronaldo went to the 1994 world cup as a 17/18 year old, not sure if it had any effect, but it didnt seem to hurt. Some would argue it burned him out, considering he basically retired when he returned home to Brazil at 30. Plus that strange incident in France in 98. Sitting on the bench for one tournament burned him out? Can we also put Kaka's injury problems down to him being placed in the 2002 World Cup as well?

Disco Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Hopefully we can get someone with a proven track record in to replace him since the yoof is our future and all that now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 The promotion of Airey and Adjei are the proofs that we aren't going to spend money this summer and we have to rely on them for covers. No disrespect to the lads, glad to see them given chances - but that would be unlikely to happen should we have a 10m+ transfer budget. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Parka Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I'm quite excited about bringing the lads through, I think a lot of english based youngsters suffer, in general due to lack of game time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 We'll never know how good these players are without them actually getting some game time, though. If they're crap, then fine, we sell or release them, but at least there's a fucking basis for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

During game days he just sort of stood there and shouted, parents gave the impression he was never happy, so I can buy the 'new career' thing.

I can confirm from the player himself that Adjei hasn't heard anything of him being in the first team squad next season. Just rumours from the media.

Guest Know_All Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 That is very true Most of the 2nd years have been given 2 year contracts (not very good ones though) and they will move up to the first team facility. That does not mean train with the first team. There were 3 given contracts at the end of the season before last. Its pretty easy to work it out who they are. All non local lads?

binnsy Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 decent little write up on Inman in the Scottish Sun today, he was also in the Scotland U19 that won 4-0. He's the Premier League -bound Aussie who's nicknamed Kaka and playing for Scotland. The Tartan Army might have missed out on James McCarthy & Aiden McGeady through family ties. But now Scotland could benefit from the ruling with Newcastle's Adelaide-born starlet Brad Inman in his second year playing for Billy Stark's Under-19s. He could yet turn his back on Scotland, who he qualifies for thanks to Glaswegian mum Lorraine. Australia have been circling and the midfielder snubbed a call-up to their Under-20s squad last year. But they are sure to be back, with England also an option thanks to dad Dave. Inman, 18, insists he's only got eyes for Scotland right now and said: "I haven't thought about whether I want to commit to Scotland long-term yet. "I was called up by Australia for an Under-20 training camp last year, but decided not to go. I went away with Scotland's Under-19s instead. Maybe if I was called up for Scotland or Australia's Under-21 side I'd have a big decision to make - but I'm leaning more towards Scotland at the moment. They have treated me well and I enjoy coming away with them and that will be a factor. "I feel Scottish because I come up quite a bit to see the family. Growing up in Australia I was always aware of my Scottish roots and with Dad being English I always felt British. "Mum's really proud because she wanted me to play for Scotland. She likes Celtic and was chuffed when I chose to play for the Under-19s. "She moved over from Australia to Newcastle with me for the first six months when I signed then Dad and the rest of the family came over later. Inman has made rapid progress since uprooting to Newcastle at just 14. He shone this term and his 15 goals from midfield saw him land the coveted 'Wor Jackie' award for the most promising stiffs player. He's been tipped for a first-team breakthrough as the Toon Army prepare for life back in the top flight. But he laughed off mention of the Brazilian superstar he has been compared to. Inman added: "It's true in training one day someone started calling me Kaka but it's a bit stupid. It's far too much for me to live up to! "Some of the reserves call me it and the Newcastle Under-18 manager was quoted saying it on the club website. Of course, Kaka's someone I look up to. I watch him playing for Real Madrid and he's one of the great players. "It's been a great season for me. The Under-18s reached the semis of the FA Youth Cup and I've played a lot for the reserves. I even got on the bench for the first team in a Carling Cup game. Hopefully next season I can push on more. "The gaffer Chris Hughton and first-team coach Colin Calderwood want to involve me in pre-season friendlies to see if I can handle the step up. "There's been a buzz around the whole city this season with us getting promoted. There's been talk of Newcastle down-sizing and not spending as much money. Maybe that will help me break into the first team." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
