I hope the likes of these boys will show lads like Dan Neil that the grass isn’t always greener. While it would be wrong to deny a kid the chance to move to the big boys, it should be done when they’re ready for a crack at it. Not as a way of depriving other teams of the talent that they bring through.

One of my fears is that Newcastle will start on this 'Chelsea system' of swallowing up all of the local talent and endlessly loaning them out.

They obviously won't allow us to have them and our rivals might benefit.

Otherwise, as I suspect, all of these Staveley promises will come to nothing ...

... does anyone really see them spending millions on an academy and stadium when their supporters want them to buy trophies now.
 
On ReadyToGo can someone ask KildareMackem if Charlie METHVEN has ever taken money out of the club? (Not just the 25m to buy it).

Anyone who gets involved in the malarky over there about this is in for a long and painful confusion.

There's definitely a masterplan at the club which may actually be unique, even under Short it was chaos disguised as order.

That's good then, as I've always said that we can't compete with the best financially, and we can't compete with down South geographically, so we needed to find an angle that no one else has.
 
Players I'd suggest MIGHT want a move

Flannigan - he has said before he sees himself as championship standard.
Wright - was close to leaving in summer, maybe he has now got his mind set on a change.
Gooch - been here a long time and needs a new challenge , sick of playing a different position every game.
AoB - obvious one to be fair.
Embleton - I've never been convinced that he wanted to come back from Blackpool and after a good start, personally I think he's dipped a bit since. Won't play when everyone fit.
Mcgeady - I thought he might retire this window if club got replacements
09 - possibly wants to go back to being an attacking midfielder again and not various defensive roles. (I don't even believe this myself, just throwing up ideas)

Its worth remembering that we are only one window (and a half) through a complete rebuild of getting shot of the squad that has failed for 3 seasons. There's plenty more to go yet.
