Danny Guthrie has talked to Newcastle United TV, and he hopes the club can make a return to European football very soon - same here.
Danny Guthrie - could be pleasant surprise at Newcastle
The 21-year-old has already played in the Champions League with Liverpool, and even last season played with Bolton Wanderers, and they reached the last 16 of the UEFA Cup. So Danny already has quite a bit of experience playing in Europe.
Guthrie spoke to nufcTV, and was asked about his ambitions for the coming season:
“For the team, if we get a good start I don’t think Europe is out of the way for us with the players we have,” “For me, just to get as many games as I can.”
“The manager has had a good pre-season to get who he wants in, and the players are really working hard in training. A European place is realistic.”
“It’s notorious, everyone knows we have under-achieved for a few years, so to break into Europe or have a cup run would be amazing.”
Guthrie will probably make his debut in tomorrow’s friendly at Hartlepool United, so the fans will get a chance to see how he looks.
And the youngster has already said he wants to force himself into the starting eleven, at Old Trafford on Sunday, 17th August, as an initial target.
Danny continued:
“The gaffer just said to me, ‘Just knuckle down, and you will have as great a chance as anybody in here’,”
“It is just about me knuckling down and showing everyone what I can do to get into the starting line-up on the first day.”
We’re hoping that Guthrie will be a pleasant surprise for us this coming season, and certainly Bolton supporters on this site, have said he was very good for them last season at the Raebok.
We look for great things from Danny in the future on Tyneside.

Good lad, lets hope his enthusiasm rubs off on some of the lazier players in the club! Can see the lad doing well for us, perhaps not this season but in the future.

the football he has got is such a peach… there is no way of not hitting the sweet spot.
good on guthas he will be a top player for newcastle, just like nzogbia. cant wait to see my team next year playing with speed and attacking alot woohoo

Not sure he’s got too much quality but he has his heart in the right place
5 normski1930z // Jul 18, 2008 at 11:50
i think guthrie is more a tidy player than a quality player imo…
6 Whitey // Jul 18, 2008 at 11:51
I just watched the training free view video on the nufc official website and during that i spotted a player who i didnt reconise and i thought looked a bit like Marouane Chamakh. Not sure but if someone else could take a look then they might be able to clear it up.

I like the strategy of bringing in young players. I wish I had more confidence that we have the ability to develop their skills as much as Man U and Arsenal - not much evidence of that so far.

“Guthrie Wants As Many Games As Possible Next Season”
Should av signed for Bolton then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whitey
Just saw that video, only person that looks vaguely like Chamakh is Beye…
Also, classic Alan Smith finish at the end! Ha Ha!
10 gorskino10 // Jul 18, 2008 at 12:00
Ed you spelt Reebok wrong lol. i feel he really needs to impress to even be considered to be in starting 11 at moment he is going to be pushing our old and lazy midfield for a place and to be fair i think he wil do better than geremi,butt,barton,smith so put him in.
11 normski1930z // Jul 18, 2008 at 12:02
well i thought butt did ok last season….
12 Whitey // Jul 18, 2008 at 12:03
Dave
thanks for watchin the video. did u see the guy who was wearing the orange boots, he didnt get the ball but he was next to james milner, it was definatly not habib beye.
lol with alan smith finish
13 Dave // Jul 18, 2008 at 12:04
Whitey
Was that not Andy Carroll?
14 broon ale // Jul 18, 2008 at 12:05
Whitey! didnt see chemach!
i seen a tall guy with the orange nike mecurail vapors and i didnt recongnise him but i suspect he was a reserve.
the video revealed gutierez took up a posistion on the left wing in front of beye.
it also showed him playing a very lazy ball and giving away the ball
15 natedawg // Jul 18, 2008 at 12:13
looks like ronaldo to me , but it couldt be, could it ? lol
16 Whitey // Jul 18, 2008 at 12:14
Dave
I did think it looked like Andy Carroll a first but now i cant decide who it is. Then i thought that Marouane Chamakh might have been on trial.
I also thought it looked a bit like Albert Luque and that would have bin a disaster lol
17 natedawg // Jul 18, 2008 at 12:16
na it isn’t Carroll kk said he hasn’t started training yet cause of his injury
18 Dave // Jul 18, 2008 at 12:20
Have a look at the reserves list of players, and see who matches the orange boot mystery player!

19 liamtoonbirchy // Jul 18, 2008 at 12:22
it does look like chamakh, must be having a trial. Carrol is injured, tom toon would probably be able to tell us for sure if it is Chamakh
20 Chris // Jul 18, 2008 at 12:24
The 2 players we have signed are actually showing what players KK and co are after. Guthrie sounds very eager to show what he’s made of.
Jonas started training a wek earlier than he had to, just so he could get to know his team mates.
2 hungry players, let’s get a few more in.
21 Spyro // Jul 18, 2008 at 12:25
agree 100% chris
22 african-kenyan-ronniezog // Jul 18, 2008 at 12:27
We need a million guys at newcastle with such a attitude and vision,and i can bet that guthrie will be a great aquisition for the magpies,
agnetha
i think you should come to kenya n see osborne monday play,can play better than mascherano,please keegan buy OSBORNE MONDAY THE KENYAN INTERNATIONAL IN THE KENYAN CLUB CALLED MATHARE UNITED.
23 african-kenyan-ronniezog // Jul 18, 2008 at 12:29
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF OSBORNE MONDAY TOM TOON
24 LeeG123 // Jul 18, 2008 at 12:32
wonder if that is chamakh hope so !
25 ToonKing // Jul 18, 2008 at 12:33
i think the guy in th orange boots is Ryan Donaldson
26 african-kenyan-ronniezog // Jul 18, 2008 at 12:55
its not chamakh,osborne is a defensive midfielder who plays in the kenyan league while chamakh is a winger,.do your homework well LeeG123
27 Whitey // Jul 18, 2008 at 12:59
african-kenyan-ronniezog
Judging by the formations taken up and the team he is on, it looks like he would be playing left wing or up front. As he is attacking Steven Taylor. So its more likley that it is chamakh and not osborne.
28 african-kenyan-ronniezog // Jul 18, 2008 at 13:09
whitey
what i meant is that we need a defensive midfielder to challenge guthrie and i’ve seen that in my local lad osborne monday who plays in the kenyan league.what do you think ?
29 Whitey // Jul 18, 2008 at 13:12
african-kenyan-ronniezog
To be perfectly honest i have never heard of him but i can take your word.
30 Big Eazy // Jul 18, 2008 at 13:16
I am sure that the lad in the orange boots was a 16yo trialist called Georgy Terziev
31 african-kenyan-ronniezog // Jul 18, 2008 at 13:20
whitey
good
32 The Entertainers // Jul 18, 2008 at 17:21
Good buy, not too expensive, great portential and very interested in Keegans comments he sees him as a Bracewell / Lee type player and expects him to become a DM in the future.
Does this mean we have bought Butts eventual replacement?
33 Tom_Toon // Jul 18, 2008 at 17:23
I can confirm that isnt Chamakh.
34 ToonLoon // Jul 19, 2008 at 1:50
Give the Lad a chance, Benetez said he was ‘quality’
