fuck you Willow. My whole existence was shaken waiting to see what would happen when that blue thing reached the bottom.

Would an attacking manager say...f*** it.

I don't think Sammy is cut out for this league. He showed a bit of a threat due to the momentum of breaking into the first team and the opposition defenders not really knowing what he was about.

 

He seems like a canny kid, I won't badmouth any Ameobi in a personal sense, I just think he's lacking pace and end product.

Brilliant.

The lad needs a run of games, be it here or out on loan. To write him off at 22 is just feckin stupid. Peter Beardsley and Waddle would never have made  it in that case!

 

Of course but with our stratgy we're stuck in a rut. We have promising youngsters who we are too scared to play in first team and the only games they get is as a patch side in the early surrender rounds of cups. They should be out on loan developing as our academy and coaching is awful but we won't add to the squad so they get kept a hold of to make up the numbers. Then when the inevitable injuries hit and said youngsters short of game time and confidence are thrown in and don't perform, we're told they will be out on loan to develop and we'll have a better squad next year etc. Other than Cabaye, which was down to his own self determination, I can't think of one player who's truly improved under pardiola.

 

And Beardsley never made the grade here when he was young. Neither Shearer nor Carrick etc. We're awful with young players and the ones like Waddle and Gazza who we produce we sold way too early.

True, but both Waddle and Gazza wanted to leave - they knew there was no future under the board at that time(with a Yes-man manager in McFaul)....now where have we heard THAT scenario since..!!??

Beardsley made his name at Carlisle before going to Vancouver - it was Arthur Cox who brought him back in 1983 when he was 23. Don't forget that NUFC had an AWFUL reputation with young players, even playing the one and only Alan Shearer in GOAL when he went for a trial before joining Southampton...I believe McFool was in charge at the time....

[Guest Howaythetoon]

The Shearer in goal thing is a bit of a myth, he actually put his hand up to go in goal as there had been a lack of 'keepers at the trials. He did it because he was eager to impress any which way he could. It was more our luck if you like or our lack of luck than any mistake on our behalf, that he didn't quite succeed in those trials.

 

Its still criminal, however, that a talent like him escaped our clutches and that we had to end up paying a then world record fee to bring him back home. Some of the best players from this region have enjoyed their best spells or most successful spells away from the North East. Bryan Robson, the Charltons, Bruce, Shearer to a degree, Gazza, Waddle, Beardsley et al.

 

Sir Bobby said he wanted to play for NUFC and had a chance to, but was advised not to do so (and rightly so give his subsequent career), so this isn't a new thing. Bobby Charlton was told "don't join Newcastle, you won't get a game, they don't give youngsters a chance."

 

Anyway, Sammy? He's got a degree of talent, but nowhere near enough to establish himself as a PL first-team regular, certainly not for NUFC. None of the current crop do.

I was watching This is Your Life with Bobby Charlton from 1969, on a famous video website, he said that he'd already promised the Manchester United scout that he'd go there when we came calling.

I know Ray Hankin (Ex Burnley and Leeds striker from the 70's) through work. Newcastle wanted him as a kid, but he said they had a rep for not playing youngsters, so he signed for Burnley. Was sub for them, as a 17 year old when we played them in the 74 Cup Final. Fancy that, eh? Playing regular first division football at that age!

 

He's a very decent man too.

As many predicted Alan is getting the excuses in early:

 

http://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/football/newcastle-united/exclusive-pardew-admits-striker-hunt-has-stalled-1-6682086

 

ALAN Pardew says Newcastle United are playing a waiting game – with the transfer market at a World Cup standstill.

 

The club has already signed midfielder Jack Colback and forward Ayoze Perez.

 

Colback joined on a free transfer from Sunderland, while Perez signed from Tenerife for a reported £1.8m.

 

Newcastle are also understood to be working on a deal for 22-year-old Hertha Berlin striker Pierre-Michel Lasogga, who is also wanted by Hamburg.

 

United manager Pardew says the club’s priority is striking reinforcements after the departures of long-serving Shola Ameobi and loanee Loic Remy.

 

However, there is an impasse in the transfer market because of the World Cup in Brazil.

 

And Pardew feels the tournament will prove “critical” to a number of clubs, including Newcastle, given the impact it will have on the price of competing players.

 

“We got two in quickly, which was good,” Pardew told the Gazette. “And we now need to get a couple of strikers in.

 

“It’s a good start, but we’ve got to cover some areas, particularly scoring goals.

 

“A lot of clubs and agents are waiting to see how players fare in the World Cup.

 

“That will have an influence on the price.

 

“The World Cup is critical to a number of clubs, including us.”

 

Pardew would not be drawn on United’s targets. However, the club has a longstanding interest in Montpellier’s attacking midfielder Remy Cabella.

 

Cabella was called up into the France squad after Lyon’s Clement Grenier, a previous target, pulled out through injury.

 

The 24-year-old is understood to be interested in a move to Newcastle, despite some strident criticism of the club from Montpellier’s outspoken president Louis Nicollin.

 

Meanwhile, the Premier League yesterday published its fixtures for the coming campaign.

 

United will play champions Manchester City on the opening weekend of the season.

 

However, Newcastle’s next encounter with one of last term’s top four isn’t until November 1, when Liverpool visit St James’s Park.

 

The first derby is not until December 20, when Sunderland are on Tyneside.

 

“The first game is a tough game, but our first run of games is good,” said Pardew, whose side were beaten 4-0 by City at the Etihad Stadium in their opening fixture last season.

 

“We’ve not played well against Man City in recent seasons. I don’t think we’ve come close to toppling them.

 

“But they are the champions coming off the back of a World Cup, and it’s a chance for us to get that right.

 

Only club in the world that has lots of money but find it impossible to spend it

Probably the amount of players away I suppose.

what an idiot! Its been known for ages the WC was this summer. Stop annoying other clubs and offer the right amount and close the deal before the WC starts.

Might rest their first team. Shame their 2nd, 3rd and 4th team will beat us too.

He'll still use it as an excuse if they win though, "We'z played a Citeh side full of players coming off the back of a World Cup. They wuz more match fitter than us"

[TaylorJ_01]

He's even left the 'coming off the back of a world cup' as an ambiguous statement, so we don't know if it's a positive or not

[Wallace]

How many players are we after that are at the World Cup?  Only Cabella that I am aware of.  Maybe he is talking about our players and how much we will get for them on a back of a good World Cup!

[Dr.Spaceman]

Thank fuck I couldn't care less what Pardew says anymore, else this would have me wound up to fuck

[Dan Gleebals]

He is having a fucking laugh, very surprised if we sign anyone that went to the world cup.
