Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 http://www.thefa.com/England/mens-u19s/News/2010/euro-draw-040610 Ryan Donaldson continues his England adventure. Still find it odd that England see him as a striker (as we once did), while CH seems intent into turning him into a toothless midfielder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Totally missed this one last year: http://footballsup.com/2009/01/the-new-gazza/ Newcastle have signed Paul Gascoigne’s seven year old nephew Cameron after he scored 22 goals in a 30 minute junior match. A stellar performance, we’re sure you’ll agree. Cameron is the son of Paul’s sister Lindsay, who hopes that the youngsters potential rise to prominence can be a motivator for Gazza to get over his drug and alcohol problem. “It will give him something really positive to focus on,” she is reported to say. If he can focus on anything, that is – he probably thinks the two youngsters would make a great strikeforce… Wonder if he's still there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Who draws up a short list and makes the decision seeing there is no football man on the board? At a guess I'd imagine Joe Joyce and Chris Hughton would have some say who comes in on the coaching staff. Even though its the Reserve Manager, he'll be pulling 1st team coaching sessions, and looking after the youths progressed to the reserves. Thats in an idea world anyway, and we all know what planet Mike Ashley lives on at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Small sample of something from yesterday's Journal where they talked to North East Youth Football Don Peter Kirkley: He would have been responsible for helping the development of another England World Cup hopeful if Adam Johnson hadn’t been cut from the squad. Manchester City’s flying winger had been rejected by Newcastle and Sunderland as a 12-year-old before Kirkley encouraged employers Middlesbrough to take a chance on him. Just a few months ago he declined an offer to provide assistance in the youth set-up at Sunderland, where former graduate Steve Bruce is doing a fine job of turning the Black Cats into a top-ten Premier League club. He prefers to concentrate on working for Wallsend – and helping out at Newcastle. “It’s been great to have Steve back on the patch, he’s not changed. He’s still a credit to the club,” he said. “He’s desperate to get me into Sunderland but Wallsend is my number one priority, and I still do a bit for Newcastle too. “When Dennis Wise came in he had this idea I was too old but what he forgets is that it is the eyes that tell you whether someone will be a player or not and you only get that experience from watching a lot of football.” As three former World Cup caps for England would testify, there are few finer spotters than Wallsend’s great servant. http://www.journallive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2010/06/03/michael-carrick-will-extend-a-proud-tradition-61634-26576593/2/ Money at the time: Gavin Tait, a local lad, is head of academy recruitment. "And Ray Gooding, who was at Coventry with me when I did a similar job and is from Hartlepool, has joined us as recruitment officer. "Peter Kirkley has been a great servant to United, but the general situation has moved on a great deal. Peter is going to step aside and watch games for us, which is what he enjoys doing. "We must adopt a new modern approach to recruitment." Thank f*** Wise & Money are now gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heed Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Darren Lough and James Marwood have apparently agreed terms with us (Gateshead) - http://www.gateshead-fc.com/2791/gateshead-land-hartlepool-united-defender Marwood is a bit of a surprise, but what's Lough like?

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 He's a hardworking fullback and will probably be the fittest person you have at the club. Can't say much for Marwood, never really saw him play as reserve games weren't up the road when he was with us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Marwood played a few games at Blyth last season and looked very lightweight. Conference National defenders will eat him for breakfast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heed Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 The Marwood signing comes as a bit of a surprise as he was at Blyth last season with Sadler, then left for Team Northumbria when he went there. As Sadler is our new number two, he must see potential in him. When Kris Gate, Craig Baxter and Phil Cave joined us from Newcastle Reserves a couple of seasons back, they all struggled for the first 10 to 15 games due to the physical nature of senior football. But once they got used to dealing with it/toughened up, their class shone through. The above does make me wonder why Newcastle and Sunderland appear to wrap their young players in cotton wool, rather than sending them out on-loan for short spells to toughen them up. Some Reserve matches I've watched, it's almost as if the players are going through the motions at times with an unwritten rule not to tackle heavy. Maybe more would come through to the first team if they had a bit experience? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time the Toon seem to loan players out is when they know they don't want them anymore and want to start shopping them out with the hope of selling. Nile Ranger will be the first Toon 'Youth' I can think of to be loaned out, if it does happen, next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
