Crikey. That’s some progress for the lad. One of the few players from last season that I’m sorry I never got to see play in town colours in the flesh. Probably the only one, actually.
One of the few who actually had a good attitude and put in an effort. Sometimes a bit too much that got him sent off but if he has managed to reign in the aggression he'll be a top player at most levels.

He’s made 20 first team appearances for Newcastle (most of them in the Premier League) so in theory that’s a very good signing for a League Two side.
The example I can never get my head around though is Mark Nicholls. He’d played nearly 40 times for a Chelsea side that was the first to really feature a host of foreign stars, had played in several European matches including the Champions League, and on occasion had been selected over Gianluca Vialli.
By the time we got him, still only in his early 20s, he was absolutely dreadful, and his career quickly fell off a cliff from there. Bizarre when you think about it.
Oh, and if course there’s the time someone paid £1m for Disco Des Hamilton. He must have had something about him at some point in his career, so where the fùck did it go?
My abiding memory of Mark Nichols is being elbowed in the face by Kevin Muscat,never have I seen such a disinterested player as Nicholls

See Matty Longstaff, who scored the winner v Man Utd on his debut, has just joined Mansfield on loan, that’s some drop in standard.
I think Manchester United were keen on signing Longstaff a few year ago from Newcastle but they didn't want to sell, maybe that's one of the reasons why they rebuffed Jesse Lingard going the other way without crazy cash.

Although I would have seen him play, I’m too young to really remember. How disinterested was he, relative to Sam Kelly (left winger signed by Slade 2)?

He was very arrogant and the look on his face conveyed he did wish to be on the pitch at all.

Not worth a new thread on its own so just gonna put this in here. Brett Pitman is apparently signing for Eastleigh. Shame he's one of those that would never come this far up North to live as I reckon he'd have been a very solid signing for the second half of the season. Could see him banging a few in for them over the coming months.

That'll be a great signing for Eastleigh. No doubt favours them over a northern club as there are regular year round flights from Soton to Jersey and it's not too far from Poole for the ferry over.
