I think it's a brilliant bit of policy by the club to lend young players out to other clubs for 10-12-14 years to learn their trade, and then come back and score vital goals for us. First Zamora, now Sidwell. Gareth Barry to come in with a couple of vital relegation savers next season?
.....and Jiri would have brought a bit of aggression as well as speed. KLL fourth choice winger now. Maybe even fifth when Solly gets back (although it is a fact that the longer a player is out, the better he becomes on NSC).
Yes, of course I'm a fan - he's one of our's, isn't he? But he has pace..............................and what else, precisely? Why did Newcastle (when they were quite good) release him? Why isn't he playing in the PL?
Edit: Oh OK, he can kick a football very hard.
