LFEE Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 The FA would probably allow us for the emergency keeper rule. Apparently not. Was hearing on Total Sport earlier that the FA said that so long as you had two fit goalkeepers you don't qualify. And, apparently, Darlow counts as one of ours even though he can't play... This... We have 3 fit keepers... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Must admit I'm a firm believer of just getting on with it. You play the kids if need be before asking the FA for an emergency loan, you play the cards you're dealt. Shit happens. Can't adjust that just because it's us who've lost their main 2 keepers.

Other clubs have done it though. Regardless I think we should give Alnwick a chance like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I would understand looking for emergency cover as if Alnwick goes down you have no keeper. If that were to happen though the keeper in question would obviously play and Alnwick would go back to the abyss. As Disco said it doesn't send out a very good message at all.

LooneyToonArmy Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Mitrovic linked again in the Mail. On the Newcastle Supporters FB page there were a few Belgians who post there and said he`s not worth the money and not worth going for....can`t say I have seen anything of Mitrovic anyway. Seems to be linked on more than a few occasions so might be some truth in the rumour. I'm Belgian and I can tell you that he would be worthless in the Premier League. He doesn't live for his sport and he's arrogant towards his fellow players. And at the moment, he's simply not good enough for Newcastle. Anderlecht asks about 10 million pounds for him but he's absolutely not worth such a high asking price." Currently in the news because he was overweight, talented boy but a bit crazy in his head. Imo not a player with a decent mentality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 The holes in the key areas (CB, CM, ST) are resolved with the emergence of Dummett, Abeid, Ayoze, and the form of Sissoko plus a hint of that in Cisse. Add in the new signings in de Jong and Ferreyao, I reckon January is going to be a quiet month for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add in the new signings in de Jong and Ferreyao, I reckon January is going to be a quiet month for us. Clubs will certainly looking at Sissoko, Aarons and also possibly Perez, Tiote, Abeid, Colback, maybe Cisse and perhaps now Ameobi (as his contract is nearly up). So i wouldn't be hugely fussed if we kept what we had and signed no one. A world class right winger, striker and centre back wouldn't go a miss though. We could do with new contracts for Aarons, Ameobi and quite a few more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
