    Its very true. Wigan afforded him a grand total of 9 league games over a 2 year period before loaning him out to Oldham and then fligging to York.

    You dont sell young, decent assets for paltry sums of £400k. It could be an error on Wigans part but he clearly wasnt deemed good enough for L1 football at the time.

    I mean its more than we sold Wyke for. Clearly was rated, Wigan just didnt feel he was ready to lead the line

    No info on his injury either , so may explain why he’s gone back? We don’t need another .

    Ankle issue it says, apparently was back in training for the U21s this week.

    Another rumour and another Grimsby linked, Brad Halliday rumoured to be the next one making it over there from fans on their end.

    So Cook and Pattison gone
    Powell none existent
    Kav, Halliday likely on their way out
    Leigh, Bryne not good enough
    Richards sick note

    feels like January of last year, where we had 3 strikers go out (Kav, Powell, Cook) but we will only bring one in

    Agree if they do come down to City 5 months with us won't get them any nearer the first team at Newcastle, I'd say maybe a try them before we buy them ?.

    We sold Wyke for a fee rising to £1m. And that was nearly a decade ago.

    Well that's one of them in, if true of course.

    Whenever I'm not sure about something, I always find it completely reassuring when someone tells me something and also announces it as a FACT. Just makes me not worry that it could be completely untrue.

    He's come to play. He played a full season at MK and would have played more at Orient if not for the injury.

    It may be true that he starts behind Metcalfe and Power but he will want to play and Newcastle will want him to play.

    Wellens said he could play anywhere across their middle three so it does seem like he's not competing for one of the wide forward positions but we'll have to see.

    I used the word “ cover” not to mean benchwarming . It’s that time of the year and the run up to squeaky bum time where players get booked and injured. If either one I mentioned got a booking or sending off we would struggle without a ready made replacement .
    Does it also suggest he’s recovered from the thigh issue?
