To be honest, I'm not especially bothered about him going to Derby. I'm actually more pleased that he won't be available to play for Newcastle on the 17th.
Fair play to them, I'll be interested to know what his reasons are, maybe he will get more of a look in, very lucky they got him though as they would have been pretty fooked, heard hulse has got another knock?
A cracking signing, not anywhere near as good as ... Earnshaw, blackstock, McGoldrick, Adebola, Garner or Tyson though... ;D So who gives a flying f***?
