Harewood On Verge Of 3 Month Deal

Newcastle United are on the verge of signing Aston Villa striker Marlon Harewood in a 3 month loan deal. The 30 year old will join Shola Ameobi and Andy Carroll as an experienced striker and is set to make his debut at the weekend against Ipswich Town. Caretaker manager Chris Hughton has explained the signing, stating that he needed a different type of striker to compliment those he already has.

Harewood is a proven goal-scorer at Championship level, with 80 goals in 200 games with previous clubs.

Hughton told the Official website nufc.co.uk;

"We are still waiting for finalisation and paperwork to be completed. But we have an agreement to bring him in and we're very much hoping the deal goes through before the weekend.

What we were desperate to do was bring in a different type of striker to what we already have here in Andy Carroll and Shola Ameobi and Nile Ranger, who has done ever so well for us.

He will give us experience and power and pace and of course this moment for him it's also an exciting time and a big challenge for him."

The move comes after Hughton was quoted saying that Newcastle need to score more goals to remain at the top end of the table.

I've heard he's lazy but let's give the bloke a chance. If he's done well in the past in this league maybe he'll come good for us.

I think we need defenders more, but reckon the lad will do well in this division, a few people have said he is lazy but when I have seen him in the premiership he always looked a hard worker

Our defence has been good this season. Last week we had 1 fit striker - a teenager.......how can we not need a striker more?

Temporary solution - looking to January for some lovely late xmas prezzies in some long term solutions.

He scored 80 goals in about 200 games for Forrest at this level. Pretty good going.

He does have a label of being lazy but he has a point to prove and lets hope he does just that.

If not then at least we didn't pay 16 million for him...and we're not stuck with him.

Ahh the beauty of loans (Sm128)

I am not saying we don't need forwards but defence is needed as well, we still have Ranger, Lovernkrands and Carroll fit, plus then we can play one forward and have Nolan playing off them.
