Meanwhile, as veteran Nicky Butt - a possible target for Ipswich - yesterday confirmed he will leave United at the end of the season, Newcastle boss Hughton has moved to head off interest in young pretender Haris Vuckic.

 

With Manchester United and AC Milan tracking the fit-again Slovenian teenager, Hughton has assured Vuckic that he will be a regular starter for Newcastle in the top flight next season.

Haris Vuckic insists he wants to succeed at Newcastle United.

 

The Slovenia striker has spoken this week of fresh interest from Manchester United.

 

Vuckic told the Evening Chronicle: “I played against Peterborough in the Carling Cup earlier this season and it was a good experience – so was playing a couple of Championship games.

 

“Chris (Hughton) just said to play football.

 

“It is a big thrill to be at such a big club. Everybody is nice to me and I just want to work hard at this club and do well. It would be a dream to be a first-team player with Newcastle United. Next season everybody starts afresh in the first team.

 

“I will work hard in pre-season, and if you want to get into the team, you work as hard as you can. I must be prepared for that in pre-season.

 

“That’s my dream.”

Love to see him on the bench and get some minutes under the belt, bit of fitness/strength training in the Summer will do him well. He's already a big lad, but you get the impression he's not aware of it as he often shys away from tackles or using any physical side of his game.

Should be having some serious involvement in the friendlies. Could save us quite a few quid, if he can play his role next season.

[David28]

Hopefully he'll become a world class player one day while playing at our club. I don't want to see him getting sold for let's say 4 million to Man Utd and then becoming a great player for them. In the media it would be all about Sir Alex "finding that great player".

 

The same goes for the other young players like Krul and Kadar as well. They have to stay here. I'd rather see some "senior" players leave and us taking a risk on the young guns.

Definitely need to start playing first team football (including loans) next season. Next season in the reserves will make him want to leave. Maybe a Forster/Vuckic deal to Norwich?

I think that would be a good idea. Is Vuckic'position a position they would be looking to strengthen ?

How about Huddersfield instead?

[binnsy]

Don't think Vuckic will be going anywhere on loan, he'll be in and around the first time, like he would of been this season, actually, he'd have been in the team this season if he hadn't got injured.  For people saying does Hughton rate him, yes he does.  At the beginning of this season he was part of the first team squad,  on bench a few games, started the Peterborough game then got crocked.  If he hadn't been involved with the first team then las week wouldn't have been his first appearance for the reserves this season, he'd have been playing for the reserves at the beginning of the season.

 

Regarding loans to Huddersfield, they would be an ideal team to send the likes of Inman, Newton, Airey, Tavernier, Dummett.  Think they could gain some great experience at a club like Huddersfield or a championship side like Doncaster.  Not sure i'd want any on season long loan but a 3 month loan would be good for them.

[GG]

Would I be right in thinking that Vuckic is a similar sort of player to Henri Lansbury? Because we're going to have to replace the latter and I'm certain we couldn't find similar/better unless we utilise the loan market effectively...

Soft as shite then?

Going from one sub appearance in the league to regular starter is a bit of a jump.

 

I'd really like to see more of this player though, given what is said about his talent.

 

 

[Ronaldo]

He's going to be a god.

Pretty much, but he works hard to get into space and always wants the ball, just won't go and tackle to get it back.

We don't want him featuring much next year then.

Hopefully they work on it during the Summer and it develops into his game, but I wouldn't count on it. However, I'd take that minus of his game for all the potential positives he'll bring. He's not being over rated at all when it comes to his vision and passing, possibly the best passing in the squad.

[Dr.Spaceman]

We should do what City did with Kasper Schmeichel, except not sell him.

[Guest The Enforcer]

Some of the passes he made with the outside of his boot in the semi final, were so direct and accurate, it was frightening.

 

Would love to see him feature.

so exactly whats his best position? central midfield or playing off strikers?

[Guest BooBoo]

Really hope the lad makes it for us. Would be great to have wonderkid make his mark at Newcastle. Hasn't really been a player who has done that since Gazza.

[Yorkie]

If Vuckic is going to become one of the world's best, it's highly unlikely we'll ever see it here - for two reasons. A, recent history tells us we generally do a shite job of finetuning quality talent. B, first sign of world class material he shows, the top sides will be after him. I'm pretty excited about the lad but the best thing we can do is keep a lid on him for now. Those sort of articles and throwing him straight into the first team will only attract interest - he won't be here five minutes. Assuming he is a brilliant talent, the best thing we can do is play it cool.

[Skirge]

He is a MUST keep player. we have not had a chance to see what he can do here yet, any thoughts of selling him is just crazy. IF he does turn out to be the player a lot seem to think he will be then lets hope he can help us get back to top flight so we can have a chance of keeping him long term.

[STM]

There was a day when we could hope to keep hold of good young players. Sadly, i feel now we are a "selling club".

[Yorkie]

It's not that we're a selling club; there's no evidence of that at all. Simple fact is, we're not as good as the best teams in the world - by an astronimcal amount - and if they come sniffing around, he'll get his head turned. It's not exactly an indicment on us or the lad himself. It's just what happens in modern football.

 

What's more depressing is that we're no longer amongst even the 'second' tier of sides that can attract established, quality young players with a reputation. Like Viana or Rooney.

 

But like i say, there's no real evidence of us being a selling club.
