Who is your favourite player in the first team to watch?

 

Hatem Ben Arfa, he has unreal tekkers, he’s calm and composed on the ball and I love the way he dribbles.

 

:laugh:

More miss than hit.

 

On another note I see Pedro is quite impressed with Moyo maybe another one who might be on the fringes?

I hope so, he has the name of a top footballer.

True but Mogwo was all physicality. He didn't seem overly committed either but but when Ranger's your partner in crime I guess it's guilt by association.

Notice in The Sunday Sun that Pardew is considering taking the development squad out of the Reserve League after this season and play more friendlies instead.

Soderberg seeks loan switch Swedish shot-stopper keen to prove his worth to Magpies

By Richard Torgerson.   Last Updated: July 17, 2011 9:19pm

 

Soderberg: Hopes a loan switch will help him to earn a new deal

 

Newcastle youngster Ole Soderberg admits he is close to securing a loan move away from the club.

 

The 20-year-old goalkeeper is some way down the pecking order at St James' Park and is unlikely to find regular first-team football on Tyneside.

 

Taking that into account, and the fact that he has only one year left to run on his current contract, the young Swede is keen to find game time.

 

A loan move would provide him with that opportunity and he claims an agreement to take him back to his homeland could materialise.

 

"I am going on loan, or at least I want to go out on loan," Soderberg told Aftonbladet.

 

"I have been training with Hacken during the summer and would enjoy playing first-team football, but I haven't heard anything.

 

"The Allsvenska (Swedish top flight) teams know who I am but they haven't seen me play since I have been at Newcastle."

 

Soderberg was named on the bench by Newcastle on a couple of occasions last season and claims he would welcome the opportunity to earn a new deal with the Magpies.

 

He added: "I have one year on my contract and I would like to stay longer.

 

"I need to prove that I can play first-team football, so I need to go on loan."

 

He admits he came close to securing a loan switch last season, with there a chance he could remain in England with a Football League club.

 

Soderberg said: "Last year there were four clubs in League One and League Two that were interested in taking me on loan."

Good? Bad? Ugly?

 

Would love some in depth info on the reserves this year if you don't mind Chris.  :thup:

For what benefit?

 

Maybe he feels friendlies against Scottish/non-league clubs would be more beneficial than just player other clubs' reserves? Sure Spurs do it.

Hopefully the club won't play the games behind closed doors like last season so people can watch the games.  When the reserve games aren't on i end up stuck in the house with the wife watching crappy soaps!  Much prefer freezing my bollocks off at Whitley Park....

Bad news, binnsy... most of them will be behind closed doors again. There is a guy you can email to request access, but its suppose to be if you're scouting. Nixon, I'll try and update as the season goes on, but I gave up last season writing huge reports as only a few people were reading them. Then later on in the season you'd see people trying to claim they knew the ins and outs of the Academy/Reserves on the basis of the write ups.  :lol:

I would read anything and everything posted on Reserves/Academy that you put together or anyone else did that was going to see a lot of the games. One of the most exciting parts of football is trying to spot talent coming through and the hope that comes with it. If we're ever going to become a serious football club again that finishes consistently in the top 6 I think youth developments will have loads to do with it. Cheers anyway for making the effort in the past

Nightmare. :lol:

 

On a side note I know you were toying with the idea of an 'NUFCYOUTH' blog/twitter. I'd really like that a lot. I think the coverage of the youngsters/second string is really minute which is a shame. Just a bit of in depth as oppose to 'player X scored twice'.

I was expecting that tbh,  no point me trying to email requesting access as the behind closed door games are during the day and i'm at work.  I know we have the mackems home & away this season, i hope they are going to be played at SJP and SoL.
