Told that Mehdi Abeid is wanted by St Johnstone. The #nufc midfielder will decide whether to make loan switch to SPL in next 24 hours.

 

Nice one :thup: hope he does it. With the new midfielders we have he'll probably not get a look in for now.

Who would want to live in Scotland though? :scared:

From the squad that lost at Bedlington earlier this month, fringe players Abeid and Ranger were absent today, there was also no place for central defender Lubo Satka, Yven Moyo or Paul Dummett.

 

Unavailable to Willie Donachie were Conor Newton, Curtis Good and Brad Inman (on loan), while Alex Nicholson and Michael Richardson remain sidelined due to injury.

 

It's reported that a further quartet of reserve team players who didn't feature (JJ Hooper, Dennis Knight, Marcus Maddison and Michael Riley) have now been released, but that's not yet officially confirmed.

 

???

 

Find it a bit strange that we're letting Maddison go, he sounded like a good player and every time I've seen him he looks impressive. Unless that's just incorrect from .com

Didn't JJ Hooper only join a year ago or so?

21

 

Be interesting to see what we do with him in the summer.  I'm guessing at 21 he isn't going to break into our first team squad but it seems he has enough about him to make a career out of football.

Send him to Gateshead in exchange for some arts funding.

There have been plenty of players who have been late developers and haven't really shown their potential until they were 21 or over....we have had at least 2 I can think of, Chris Waddle and Geoff Allen.

Waddle most people on here know about, but Allen was a left-winger who was in and out of our first team in the mid-late 60s until finally, he came good against Feyenoord in what as then the Fairs Cup...our first match in Europe in 1968. He was the architecht of our 4-0 win, tearing the right side of their defence to shreds. He went on to show this form in the First Div until he was victim of a desperate tackle by Hindley at Notts Forest, we won the match 1-4.

He had cruciate ligament damage and in those days it was curtains,

 

The other most notable 21 year old to make the big time was Steve Heighway at Liverpool...had been a University student playing part-time for Skelmersdale until Shankly signed him in 1971 and he went on to create Liverpool's goal against Arsenal in the FA Cup Final and had a long successful career at Anfield.

 

Players still have a chance to make the big time at that age, and Inman has scored enough goals - and created them for others - to warrant a go in our first team at some stage.

clearly should have been on loan at an earlier age, should be going out at 18 not 21 tbh. Would still like to see us keep him even if late bloomer. He has 5 in 10 in League 1, it's a good record. Is he playing Centre Mid or further forward?

Think we should sell him to a championship club, with a buy back option.

 

WTF? Have you been taking silly pills again, utterly pointless idea :lol:
