What is he doing now? He seems to be a top coach so I really hope he is doing something important. Was quite disappointment when he left that post.

Dummett has fired #nufc ahead on 10 mins v #bedlington

 

Good to see this lad return from injury, hopefully it hasn't set him back too much as he's 'lost' about 10 months of football with those back to back knee injuries. Usually plays LB, but could probably do the job at CB with a bit more strength training. Daft as a brush like. Times a header well, tackles not so much.

Airey scores from close range to make it 4-1 after Dummett cross - was Airey's tenth chance of game #nufc

 

Sounds about right, sadly. Hard worker, but just isn't clinical enough in front of goal.

Phil is an athlete could easily make it as a track and field runner if he doesn't make it as a footballer.

 

Agree with that. Looks like one of the fittest lads in the setup, never stops running, has a fair bit of sustained pace, very quick over short distances too.

EXCLUSIVE: Ashley to invest in young talent

 

 

TOON owner Mike Ashley is believed to have ordered a major revamp at Newcastle United – in a move which sees the Magpies attempt to keep pace with some of Europe’s biggest clubs.

 

United ended the January transfer window last night as third-top spenders behind Chelsea and Queens Park Rangers after signing Papiss Cisse.

 

Although FC Twente’s Douglas is near the top of their transfer list this summer, Newcastle are looking to the future.

 

The Chronicle understands United are not only hoping to add a clutch of quality additions to the first-team pool this summer, but they will also put emphasis on the layers beneath Alan Pardew’s senior roster.

 

United have cleared the decks at the club’s Benton base with a host of younger players told they have no future at the club.

 

A United insider told the Chronicle: “The vision is for a brighter future at Newcastle.

 

“The owner is prepared to put money behind the latest project.

 

“It will give the club every chance to compete with clubs around Europe and beyond to make sure they can unearth some of the untapped talent which is clearly already out there.”

 

The brief to United’s scouting network is set to be intensified with talent from across the globe being lined up as part of an exciting new chapter in the club’s forward-thinking blueprint.

 

It means Toon players such as Hungarian international Tamas Kadar, Faroe Isles international Joan Edmundsson, Jeff Henderson, Greg McDermott, Patrick Nzuzi and Dan Taylor, Phil Airey – currently on loan at Gateshead – have been told to find new clubs, while Ryan Donaldson is also out of contract at the end of the season. The gulf in class between Newcastle’s second string and Manchester United was underlined last week in a 6-0 defeat which was one of the final deciding factors in a brave but exciting step forward.

 

Unlke when Kevin Keegan scrapped United’s reserves in the mid-1990s, this is a restructuring of the set-up.

 

However, Ashley’s vision is to lure more young stars to the club like Mehdi Abeid and Haris Vuckic, with several younger players set to come during the close season.

 

The Chronicle has also learned Newcastle’s owner is ready to back the plan with a kitty of up to £15m to be invested into the acquisition of talented youngsters from around Europe in the next few years, in a move which will excite some sections of fans.

 

While the release of a clutch of players considered to be in with a real shout of progression through the ranks will raise eyebrows, United boss Pardew and his backroom team are delighted by young prospects such as Remie Streete, Jak Alnwick and Paul Dummett coming through.

 

Meanwhile, United midfielder Yohan Cabaye has denied his charge of violent conduct from the FA.
