Guest CabayeAye Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Wasn't Nile Ranger playing for an amateur team when we signed him? Not that that's relevent like, since Ranger is ultra-turboshite and a complete thundercunt into the bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CabayeAye Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I've no problem with us having a look at this kid. Costs us nowt to look and should cost us little to have a punt on. Can't be much worse than Lovenkrands If we did buy him (and he scores) I'd honestly be willing to take a punt on Stevie. He's 34 like, so no five year deals, obviously. Fuck off, man. SDFC only offer 5 year deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc-mag 1 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 No agents fees with Stevie though and he'd play just for the love of the club and a few bottles of rub-on-tan. Seriously though, I've seen youtube of both these players and Stevie has the edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southampton had binned him and he was plying his (shite) trade with a non-league club IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawD 99 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I don't really have an issue with this. We should have a scouting network that finds not just current known top players but also unknown ones with talent in obscure leagues. If he can't cut it then fair play but if he can offer us anything then what a find! The down side is that it smacks of desperation. Almost like we know we need a forward but can't buy one if we want a centre half more. Maybe if this happened outside of a time when we needed a forward to badly it wouldn't appear as bad.

loonyTOON 10 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Jermaine Beckford was signed from Wealdstone by Leeds Utd in 2006 when he was 22. So it is possible that the guy could have something. Whether its prem standard or not is another question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) Didn't we give a similar trial to Lee Novak or someone a few year back? I doubt they're seeing this as a replacement for the Maiga deal, even Ashley wouldn't be that mental surely Edited December 29, 2011 by Howay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14013 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 We probably would have signed Novak, he's a decent player! Speaking of Huddersfield, wouldn't mind putting in a bid for Jordan Rhodes, he's looking class! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolly Potter MD 0 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 For such a progressive club (under the current regime) we could've a thrown out a more expansive search net. Fu Kin Krud, of Ghuke FC, over in some obscure zip-eyed league is banging them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 14066 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Would love NUFC to pluck a player like this up and have become a decent Prem player like. He's probably more suited for professional football than Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gejon 2 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2011/12/30/striker-jason-prior-aiming-for-newcastle-united-place-72703-30032172/ Lost two years from when he was first linked. FROM the Wessex League Premier Division to St James’ Park in two years – that is the extraordinary dream being chased by 22-year-old striker Jason Prior, the non-league striker due for a trial with Newcastle United in the New Year. Prior is the forward who caught the eye of United’s scouts by hitting an incredible 95 goals in 118 for Bognor Regis in the Ryman League South – prompting him to be invited to train with the club in 2012. It is a fairytale story that has hints of the film Goal! – the incredible rags-to-riches story that sees an unknown South American player plucked from the streets before starring for Newcastle. In reality, Prior is one of plenty of players who are invited for trials with United every year – even if his story makes him a little bit different. Prior has taken the route less travelled to his United trial, having been signed by Bognor in 2009 from Moneyfields FC – a ‘step five’ club in Portsmouth. He has never played or been on the books of a professional club and has only played for Bognor for two years. On the verge of a £12,000 move to Eastleigh on Tuesday afternoon, Bognor got the call from Newcastle asking him if he would like to come to the North East so the club could take a closer look. Club general manager and vice chairman Jack Pearce told the Chronicle: “There was a move in place to Eastleigh but then we got the call from Newcastle asking if he would be interested in going up there for a trial. “We left the decision up to Jason and he has decided he’d like to go to Newcastle to train with them and see where it takes him. We haven’t even set a date for it yet. “It has got a little bit out of hand after it got out that he was going up there. Newcastle will have lots of players going on trial and we don’t want to make too much of it – its just a trial and he hasn’t signed for them or anything yet. “Of course its an incredible opportunity for Jason and we wish him all the best.” Prior is a rangy, powerful striker with a fierce shot who can take dead balls too. And while it is a huge step from the Ryman South to the Premier League – some seven divisions – Pearce warns against writing off his young charge. With 41 years of experience at Bognor, most as manager, he can spot a talent. ”We took him from Moneyfields two years ago and he’s been fantastic. His goal-scoring record speaks for itself,” he said. ”There are probably hundreds of kids who go for trials and for most of them it doesn’t work out. But for one or two it does and Jason has his chance. “No matter whether you’re in the Ryman, on a park somewhere or the Premier League the penalty box is the same size and the goals are the same size too. If you’re a goalscorer that is what every football club in England wants on their books. ”He is a good kid, an excellent player, he works very hard and you never know, this could be his big break.” Perhaps slightly unfairly, his trial was reported as United’s “cut-price” attempt to replace Demba Ba in the African Nations Cup in some quarters yesterday. In actual fact it is Newcastle thinking outside the box in their scouting attempts, and there are plenty of examples of non-league talent emerging at the highest level. Manchester United’s Chris Smalling, Norwich’s Steve Morison, QPR’s DJ Campbell and Michael Kightly – who went from Grays to the England Under-21 side in six months – all provide evidence there is talent down the football pyramid.

Christmas Tree 4847 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Lol Here for 10 days apparently with an arranged match at the end of it. Article in today's Sunday sun if anyone ( not on a phone) wants to copy and paste. Same paper also had a story on this weeks transfer meeting at the quayside where targets were updated, an 8 million war chest ;-) and more money for anything really good that comes up.
