News in the Chronicle today that returning Newcastle players from loan spells last season – Jack Colback and Achraf Lazaar have been moved to train with the U23 squad.
Jack was at odds with Rafa last summer and he finally went on loan to Nottingham Forest in January and he had a good loan spell there and they want him back this season.
But the wages of £45K/week he gets at Newcastle could be a problem.
Jack Colback – no future at Newcastle
Newcastle want to sell him this summer before his five-year contract runs out next June.
Achraf Lazaar had a nightmare loan spell at Italian side, Benevento, last season and he was ousted from the first team squad last January.
That’s when the club brought in free agent Bacary Sagna, the former Arsenal, and Manchester City full-back and had to find room for him in the squad.
Lazaar was the one he replaced.
Neither player has a future at Newcastle and Rafa will try to sell both of them this summer – if he can.
Rafa will also control the number and the actual players he wants training in the first team squad this summer.
This is not a huge surprise.
Comments welcome.

Comment #4For the love of God take Sterling off, how he gets picked over Rashford is beyond me. I am gob smacked he had a decent first touch but why oh why didn’t he lay it off after he failed to get around the keeper

Comment #5TomaKaThor,
Was thinking the same: Sterling a selfish a$$, a simple pass back to Kane would have made it 2-0

think Rafa likes Lazaar so may give him every chance possibly another loan.

Comment #8Best performance yet although a very workmanlike, safety first approach. We could murder these on the counter if we didn’t pass the ball like a rugby team. Shelvey would be great for hitting them on the break. Yet I still think we could hammer them. They’re an old team and only dangerous on the counter. Please don’t defend the lead, lets kill them off.

Comment #14You have to remember that Sterling has it dinned
into him all the time by Guardiola to just focus on
the goal.
The number of goals City got from Sterling’s ricochets
was unreal.

Comment #15Henderson trying to do what Shelvey does ..he’s trying to copy Shelvey game.. Henderson still a lumbering hulk though ..if he wasn’t playing for Liverpool do you think he’d been in that England team? Unimaginative .
