Cissé – Scoring that goal on his debut to secure an important win for NUFC

With Cheick Tioté ruled out of tomorrows encounter with Aston Villa, I think it’s worth a look at how we might line-up especially, without our key African in midfield. His absence against Chelsea was obvious as we were overrun in midfield time and time again, despite the best efforts of new boy Vurnon Anita who did as well as could be expected considering the circumstances. The failure to add anyone in the final days of the window also came a bit of a disappointment to fans, and hopefully we won’t live to regret it during our European and domestic adventures [Read more →]

Moore – Talented central defender with one year left on his contract

Tonight, Newcastle United will get their European adventure underway in Greece, against Atromitos. With a likely forward line of Papiss Cissé and 17 year-old local lad, Adam Campbell – it’s a gentle mix of experience and youth; something that will be extremely important throughout our Europa League campaign, should we manage to get past the challenge of this Greek side first.

While a fee has been agreed, and Ajax manager de Boer has confirmed he is [Read more →]

Abeid – Expect to see a lot of this guy in the coming Premier League season

In the last couple of days, Alan Pardew reiterated his desire to bring in ‘two or three’ new players to club before the window slams shut in September. With three weeks left to tie up any deals, it seems NUFC are still hoping that Mathieu Debuchy will be starting at right back in the new season. Despite the fact Lille have decided that he’ll stay, unfortunately as we know, the player usually gets what he wants.
