Offiong

[al1892]

just thought id post about him as the highlights have reminded me...
richard offiong one of our reserve players is out on loan at darlington and scored two goals today in their FA cup game against Stevenage. he could have had a third but it was rule offside.
always good to see them keeping their eye in :D

I posted this already in "The Squad" thread, but no harm done:)

His strike partner Calvin Zola is supposed to be one hell of a player as well.

Shola Ameobi
Lomana Lua Lua
Michael Chopra
Richard Offiong
Calvin Zola

The striking talent is coming through, I hope there's some defensive talent coming thru also, preferably a defender in the Stuart Pearce/Tony Adams mould:D . That would do nicely

What about Steven Taylor? When he signed up with us earlier this season he was the talk of the tyne, how's he's going? Still expecting the next Bobby Moore in 3 years or so to debut for Newcastle!

stephen taylor has been playing in the reserves a lot and hasnt looked bad at all. not sure if there miteve been talk of him going out on loan but hes been in the news for something recently. mite be coming through soon altho we do have quite a few in his position so could have to wait a bit longer.

Already? How old is he? I thought he was only 16 or something! If he was about 18 or 19 I'd say he should be given a go in light of our defensive problems.
