Big Geordie Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Nice one - well done to him. Is it true he's being allowed to leave us at the end of the season? No. Good. Hopefully, the lad has a future with us. We may well need him, next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 He said on his Twitter the other day that as far as he was concerned he was still a NUFC player and didn't have a problem with anyone at the club etc. I took that to mean he was still in our plans tbh.

Elliottman Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 MEHDI Abeid and Romain Amalfitano have both been told to find new clubs as the Newcastle United summer clear-out begins. Abeid is interesting Championship club Millwall while Amalfitano – who has slipped completely under the radar since moving to Newcastle a year ago – is set for a return to France after being told he was not in the club’s plans. Nice, who made an approach to sign him last close season, are interested in offering him an escape route from Tyneside. Alan Pardew was told at the end of the season that in order to bolster his squad he would have to be prepared to let others go, and Abeid and Amalfitano were two of the players who were told to find new clubs. The idea is that this will clear the way for younger players to have opportunities in the first-team squad next year, while also allowing United some flexibility in the transfer market. Midfielder Dan Gosling is another who has been made available – although with a year left on his contract it is unlikely that he will find any permanent takers. A loan switch is more likely. Part of new director of football Joe Kinnear’s job is to take more of a strategic role with the reserves and younger players, which is one area that owner Mike Ashley does not feel has provided enough value for money in recent years. When United were left without specialist centre-back cover in December 2011 – forcing them into playing Danny Simpson there – Ashley is understood to have questioned why there were no defenders of the required standard coming through the Academy who could be used. Work has been done in the meantime to try and remedy this situation, but Ashley is understood to have expressed his dismay again this season that the squad does not have enough players on the fringes who are ready to make an impact. Kinnear hinted last Sunday that his remit included assessing fringe players like Abeid and Amalfitano, who did not feature in the Premier League last season, to make a judgement on whether they were good enough. Both will be told to find new clubs. It remains to be seen what kind of shape the squad will be in when they jet out to Portugal next month for the club’s training camp near Porto. Details of that – along with other pre-season friendlies – were announced yesterday, with United staying in Continental Europe for two of their tune-ups for the second year running. United will travel to Northern Portugal to play Rio Ave on July 20 before taking on Pacos de Ferreira, who qualified for the Champions League last season, on July 23. The games will be an opportunity for Pardew to re-integrate his internationals into the squad, with the trip likely to be in their first week back in pre-season. The likes of Papiss Cisse, Cheick Tiote and Yohan Cabaye will be given the first week of pre-season training, which reconvenes in a fortnight’s time, off. United kick off their pre-season programme at Motherwell on July 16 – and have also pencilled in friendly games at Blackpool (July 28), St Mirren (July 30) and a home game against Braga on August 10, the week before the season kicks off.

Skirge Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 This is a strange one kid looked like he had ability but I guess the club look for a hell of a lot more, Mind you I am not convinced by Willie Donachie the reserve and youth teams seemed to be flying until he came in. I am sure the players being told to move on are on his recommendation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Looked promising but with Cabaye, Tiote, Bigiramana, Marveaux, Sissoko and Anita (even Jonas in fact) in front of him it's unlikely he's ever really going to get game time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Ever since his solid performance against Blackburn in the FA Cup a couple of seasons ago, I had high hopes for this lad - he looked solid, composed and unfazed by it all but it looks like it just wasn't to be. Best of luck to him wherever he ends up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 One of our better prospects. Hope we're not releasing him too soon. At 20, I'd have tried to loan him out to a Championship side next season, unless he had a bad season north of the border, which by all accounts he hadn't?

I am sure the players being told to move on are on his recommendation. Probably the worst kind of coach to have for that level of football. Youth players and reserves need massive injections of enthusiasm and inspiration to keep them going, to improve, and to persist in the hope that one day they too will make it. Donachie strikes me as one of the most boring and least inspirational cunts around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
