Life isn't the same without Con... but it can only improve without Tinks...
Has our Panamanian goal scoring machine arrived yet?
The Championship Chronicles - The Jetstream's review of the 2007/08 season. www.newcastlefootball.net/chronicles
Apparently we're about to sign 37yo Wes Hoolahan. Played 300+ games for norwich. Used sparsely last season for west brom. Attacking mid. Very technical, calm on the ball, dictates play. Can play left mid.
Sound like possibly a mid of dimi, wes, kanta/uga.
Interesting signing. Enjoyed watching him for Norwich, hopefully still a fit little dynamo.
Just love the fact we have another left footer, a team can never have too many lefties
Daniel Garb was saying he would be a very good signing but also said he'll need 2 DM behind him, which may sound like him being our attacking mid and dimi back to the wing. Dont know how dimi would feel about that and he also prefers being central. Thoughts?
I was hoping he'd play left mid and we'd have 1 DM, however doesnt sound like he's one to do too much defensive work.
Article in The Herald from Gardiner confirms the clubs are in talks with Wessi.
It also stated the club is only planning to use 20/23 full contracted squad spots available, and only 3/9 scholarship contracted squad spots available. Heading into the season with 23/32 possible players sounds very risky to me.
If Nabbout's agent was telling the truth that we only had 250k to throw at the remaining 4 squad spots possible, you'd think we've just thrown caution to the wind and offered it all to Wes here.
Honestly I'm going to be really annoyed if/when Lawrie & Ernie whinge about an injury or two hurting us this year. Our squad is IMO too thin to be heading into a season with.
OK
