Kevin Keegan warns Shola Ameobi to take his next chance at Newcastle or leave

[ewerk 31597]

Kevin Keegan has warned Shola Ameobi he has to take his next chance at Newcastle or leave.

 

The Toon boss is keen to get the former England Under-21 striker firing again - but says his chances are running out.

 

Ameobi, 26, is struggling for first team action behind Mark Viduka, Michael Owen, Oba Martins and Alan Smith and is wanted by Glenn Roeder at Norwich.

 

Keegan said: "Our challenge, mine in particular, is to look at the club and assess players. I've told him what I think.

 

"You think he's a young lad, but he's 26 now and he's got to make the breakthrough quickly or maybe there's somewhere else he can do it.

 

"There's a better player in Shola than we've seen so far, but the test will be when he gets his chance - and he will.

 

"He's one of the challenges here and it's one I relish."

 

Following Nigel Pearson's departure last week, three more experts brought in by Sam Allardyce left the club yesterday.

 

Head of sports medicine Mark Taylor, ProZone analyst Gavin Fleig and fitness coach Mark Howard made their exit.

I'd imagine the papers will be harvesting that single interview for weeks to come.

Can we not just skip the part where we have to endure Shola in a NUFC shirt again and just ship him off already?

I cant see him getting many chances. He'll be off in the summer....hopefully with Smith.

[Bizza 105]

He's had enough chances already, just get rid.

Bye Bye Shola, it's a fucking liberty he managed to get himself in the record books at the club imo. Show how shite we've been/are

That's what I thought. Reading between the lines in the interview, Shola is out in the summer.

 

Bye then.

Personally, it looks like KK's being diplomatic and Shola will be sold to whoever shows any interest in the summer. Which is the correct answer.

That's Shola gone, then. Unless he decides to play well again, the selfish tosser.
