It seems that Newcastle will be looking to bring in two new strikers this summer, and if we can get somebody like Loic Remy through the door, then maybe Newcastle can bring in a young striker with good potential.
Jorgen Locadia – 19 year-old budding PSV striker
And one young player who had a good season last term was PSV’s 19 year-old striker Jurgen Locadia, who scored 11 goals in 22 appearances for the Dutch side, and played alongside 24 year-old Tim Matavž, who we profiled last night.
Jurgen began his career in 2001 when he joined VV Bargeres at just seven years old, and he then he played at FC Emmen, RKSV Sarto and Willem II before joining PSV in 2010.
Locadia made his debut in September of 2011 for PSV, when he came on as a sub in a KNVB Cup match against VVSB, and just a short eight minutes after coming on he scored his first goal for the PSV club.
But in that season he made only two appearances with that one goal for PSV
Jurgen was born in Emmen in the Netherlands, and he’s played for all the Dutch Youth sides from U17 through U21, but only once so far for the U21 side, so he is still developing at just 19 years old.
He turns 20 until November, and it could be a good time for Newcastle to consider the 6’3″ striker, and at the moment he would come at a decent price.
We have been told that Graham Carr has been scouting players in the Eredivisie last season, so we wonder if this lad has caught Graham’s attention?

Comment #43mikeashleyisamackem
Milner sees himself as a central mid these days but he racks racks up the appearances for Man City so doubt he is thinking to leave.
I remember watching Milner become the youngest Prem goal scorer, a great moment! All game he worked his socks off. It is rare these days to see a younger with such hunger. Out of our youngers the only one who gives his all is Campbell, although the senior games he has played he looks a little shell shocked.
Once he gets used to it and builds his confidence we will see a different player.
There is talent in our youngsters but we might not be the club to bring them through.
Historically we don’t bring too many through looking at history of the Prem even though the county with most prem players since it began is Durham.
There is too much pressure for us to win games so we cant risk bringing players through. Pards wont take any chances at the start of next season but if we start off well then as the season progresses we will see one or two here and there. In my opinion non are knocking on the door so should get out to the Championship til xmas at the earliest!

Comment #44Perch sold because his value would only decrease as his contract ran down.
It is a ruthless decision because he would have signed new contract. But he is never going to be a world beater which Bigi, Anita, Tiote or MYM(?) could be playing DM.

Comment #46So according to what we know about Pard’s speech in the dressroom the other day, it wiil be next season, one more time, all about courage and physical strength.
Same tactic, same outcome.
Is there no one in the club whoc are about playing football?

Beny is still not fit. Well, at least, he do not seem to have gain weight during the break.

Jul 7, 2013 at 2:06 PM
Comment #52Well, a good squad yes (altough i agreewith mattnufc about the fact we lack of bench).
But to transfrom a good squad into a good team,you got to work about the play, and it seem obvious our play rely only on teh most basicals things.
So, yes, hoofball… And it’s not Kinnear who will change that.
This is why i was very interested by the rumour of an unrest in the dressing room, stange to say, but indeed, Colo and Beny confronting Pard about that are maybe our only hope.

Comment #54Rotunda – in reply to your post about my squad opinion…
I was of those on here during our 5th finish season who said we were fortunate to win games that we didn’t dominate. We created few chances in many games but the exceptional conversion rate of Ba and Cisse won us games we could gave drawn or lost. Those strike rates don’t last.
Our weaknesses then were the same as they are now. If we dont get full backs who can defend, a powerful tall CH and pace and power in midfield and attack we will continue to struggle to dominate games imo.

We don’t need to know what was said. We had two full season to watch the way the team play under Pard’s tenure.
Well, would be happy to heard him telling us how our play will work next season, but he will say nothing cause for him, it ‘s a secondary aspect.
Fighting spirit is everything to him.

Comment #73Bills son @ 54
Our weaknesses then were the same as they are now.
This hits ze nail on ze head, and weaknesses must include Pardew, who is only accumulating goodwill by the day because the threat of Mr 19% as manager is simply too dreadful to contemplate.
The same squad as is (no changes, no new blood) would easily finish in top 7 with Mourhino, AVB, Rodgers, Benitez or even Laudrup at the helm. All of which makes the current situation so galling, as it is so unnecessary.

They could do it, but will be close.

Jul 7, 2013 at 2:58 PM
Comment #75Spotlight – all of those managers would also recognise the weaknesses in the squad. I bet Pardew has as well but reading between the lines Carr keeps scouting similar players to what we already have. Kinnear has been brought in to sort the imbalance out.
We dont want more players like Anita and Amaltifino.
