it would be madness to let big phil be sold, still young looks like a horse of a player ( horse means good/powerful), Jo is another who is still very young Newcastle would love him on loan for the rest of the season ( Nudge nudge wink wink) Shay!! An after he has a run of games then judge him, it could take him 18 months to get used to English football, Van Persie at Arsenal comes to mind. Ched is not cut out for the premiership, and Sturrage needs to sign the contract, he will get his chance under Hughes, look at the way Hughes brought that young fella from Blackburn on Derbyshire is that his name he looked good under Hughes at rovers. Keep the youth at the club and improve it is that not what the great scheme was from the start!!
