Scottish Mag 3 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Newcastle United central defender Paul Huntington has joined United for an undisclosed fee. Paul becomes the second signing of transfer deadine day, following goalkeeper Alan Martin, who completed his move from Motherwell on Friday morning. Carlisle-born Paul, who turns 20 on September 17, has featured 11 times for Newcastle United. Paul, who won the Jackie Milburn Trophy in the summer of 2005, an award given to the most promising young players in the north east, made his Toon debut last season and scored his only goal for the club against Tottenham in January. Highly-rated Paul started out with Newcastle's Academy - he joined up with the first team squad for their Intertoto matches in 2005 - and has represented England at under-18 level. Paul will provide much-needed cover and competition for Rui Marques and Matt Heath at the heart of the defence. http://www.leedsunited.com/page/NewsroomDe...1103747,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 6962 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Edgar looks to be the better of the 2....surprised it is not a loan deal though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marci 0 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Good move for both parties IMO I didn't rate him highly by his performances from last season. It's the best for him to start his real career as soon as he can, and he has a good chance to become a good Championship defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassplayerjj 0 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 always looked to me like a lost youngster among men. Poor lad was played at left back for us way too often though, hope he has a long and healthy career now =) Edgar looked far more commanding to me also and I hope if we let him go then it is on loan...

Craig 6702 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Felt that he was one of the better kids coming through the youth system. Shame he's gone IMO - a loan deal would have been a much better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I wouldn't have minded seeing him go out on loan, but I'm a bit disappointed if it is a permanent deal. How many chances did he get at centre-half? On the other hand if Beye and Faye do come in, I suppose he'd be well down the pecking order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marci 0 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 His contract would have been up in next June, at least we got some money for him, even if it's probably a nominal fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus 0 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Its enough to make you wonder what exactly is the point of the youth academy ?? Didnt sam recently say that none of the clubs youth players wre offered contracts and were all released? We know sam has a good coaching and scouting setup so maybe they dont think any of our youngsters will make the grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish Mag 3 Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 Probably too slow to ever compete properly at Premiership level. You don't have to be the quickest to play at Centre Half, just look at the likes of Stubbs, Weir and Pressley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I think Sam and his staff might have let him go because of his build. Although he was tall enough he seemed to have quite a slight physique. Allardyce seems to prefer more physically imposing specimens. As someone said, with Beye, Faye, Capaca, Rozi, Taylor and Enrique he is building a back line of Terminators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
