    Not quite sure what to make of this one. Liked the lad, coulda been decent. But I suppose if he had never made the step up to the first team by 21 then who knows. Doubt we woulda got much for him.

    Good luck to the lad and hope this doesn't come back to bite us.

    Bit gutted with this one. I still think he could have been a decent squad player.

    Oh well, I wish him well for the future!

    One of the dangers of multiple loans to the same club. He didn't seem to want to stay at Newcastle in the summer. Shame since he looked to have potential, but don't see him getting any games if he had come back.

    He's struggling to get into their first team, so it's no surprise we've sold him. Good luck to him though.

    He's gone off to a club where he'll most likely pick up more starts.

    Good luck to the guy as he was a promising player for us.

    Must admit he never convinced me that he'd make it at this level. Good luck to him though, has had plenty of bad luck so I hope it goes well for him.

    He can't even start for Brighton, he was never going to make it at Newcastle

    Aye, one of my mates is a Brighton fan and he says the main thing is a lack of the proverbial "footballing brain", even at Championship level. In League 1 pace counts for a lot, but beyond that he hasn't got much in his locker and he's not going to drastically improve at 21.

    Thought he could have made it really, but if trust the club on this one as they have more knowledge than me.

    Good luck to him, but we've got better prospects, Fergie in particular.
