Newcastle United News 24/7
Now that we've dispensed with the dross on defense, it's time for our intrepid podcast team to cast a judgmental eye on the rest of the squad. That's right, it's another edition of the game that's sweeping two continents, Keep Or Sell!
Tom, Phil, and Matt first get into what little transfer news there is at the moment, with quick takes on rumored targets Rémy Cabella and Jack Colback, then hop right into the festivities. Which midfielders still have promise? Who's been irredeemably Pardewed? (Or more accurately, who hasn't played up to their ability both because of their own faults and those of the manager?) Can Phil talk about Hatem Ben Arfa without unleashing a stream of expletives? Why does the club not even attempt to develop its youngsters in the center of the park?
Turning our attention to the front line - or what's left of it, anyway - we weigh the merits of Yoan Gouffran, starting striker. Is a man who scored six goals in 2013-14 capable of bagging a dozen? Seeing as he's currently the only healthy senior striker at the club, he may have to. And what to do with Sammy Ameobi, the last of his name?
Other odds and ends: hear Tom audibly blushing as he tries to tactfully describe the Internet frenzy over the daughter of one of the new Milwaukee Bucks owners. Be utterly unsurprised that Matt got so lost in his thoughts on Gouffran that he accidentally bumped the mute button, forcing a second take. And finally, English listeners, get your tweeting fingers ready to lambaste Phil when he makes his World Cup prediction for US (and Sunderland) striker Jozy Altidore.
