wanderer Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I see Newcastle are about to release 11 players, including Mo Diame. Couple of young Strikers in there as well. I wondered if any of them will be on our radar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 At the risk of being called an arsehole clutching at straws believing we can sign players leaving the Premier League. Wages offered by Championship clubs are smashing the likes of ourselves out of the game. Loan of young players unlikely to make it seem the main source from the Premier League. Occasionally a Maddison might emerge but even then he spent his final months at Aberdeen on the bench, he had so much to learn off the ball. I don't know the logistics but I would be taking a look at countries like Belgium and Austria or even lower down French Portuguese leagues. Technically very good players and a good bit cheaper than England Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is still under contract so the prospect of signing for us is a bit remote unless on a loan deal but i'm sure we'd be trumped by English Championship clubs. That would be a good bit of business and he would scoot our league IMO. As a passing thought, NUFC have 4 good goalkeepers and I reckon Steve Elliott might fancy a loan to ensure game time as he seems to be behind Dubravka and Darlow. Some may remember Elliott from a pre-season Tynecastle friendly 3 or 4 years ago and one save in particular from Jamie Walker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me offers very little, doesn't score or assit much, felt he slowed play down, however he is more disciplined in the defensive side of the game than Shelvey which is probably why he was a regular.
