Local talent

[occult]

I don't argue with those who say that we should have strengthened in key areas. One thing that surprises and irritates me is that we cannot seem to produce any local talent to make it to the first team. Terry didn't cost Chelsea anything. How many clubs have to pay £14m for a striker born on their doorstep? There was talk of maybe signing Carrick before his career ends with Man U. A player from Wallsend. Where was Bobby Charlton from? Ashington. The only likely candidate is Armstrong who's on permanent loan. Is he good enough for the Premiership? Don't know because he never plays there. When our scouts are scouring Europe and further afield for new players maybe they should spend at least some time in Blyth, Wallsend, Cramlington or wherever.

have you had a night out in the ytpoon oon

believe me get yourself f to york

full of talent

the toon have never found local talent

waddle and gazza who lets face it whilst being great players wouldnt have got a second look in most cases

gazza a little fat car thief with a violent dad
and waddle who looked like a waddling duck

the better players in most cases went else where

probably for the fresh air and lack of pressure
