Scottish Mag 3 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Newcastle have confirmed they are handing a trial to Danish forward Peter Lovenkrands. The former Rangers forward is on the lookout for a new club following his release from Schalke and he has pitched up on Tyneside. Magpies chief Joe Kinnear is eager to bring in fresh blood and Lovenkrands will be given the chance to win a contract at St James’ Park. “He's out of contract but he is coming in for us to have a look at,” said Kinnear’s assistant Chris Hughton. "He is an experienced player with pace. So I think it gives us an opportunity to look at him. "There is work going on behind the scenes to bring in the two or three players we need."

Isegrim 8876 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Ah, the amount of new players to be brought in is getting less each day again. Only a couple of days ago it were five players... What's the odds that we'll have an even thinner squad come Feb 1st... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fop 1 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 We're acting like a Championship club (we're running at a loss? With "no" debt?), with Shola as our trophy signing of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 As a free to add some depth, it's not too bad tbh. Better than James Beattie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26464 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 As a free to add some depth, it's not too bad tbh. I'd normally agree but this signing will be instead of signing a good player rather than in addition to signing one and could see us selling a striker / winger.

JawD 31 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 The free / loans are not a bad idea to give the squad more depth so long as they are not to replace players we are selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 8876 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Also if we are are looking at out of favour players from Schalke I'd rather try us to sign Albert Streit on loan. He's a very creative player and was always very high in the assists rankings when playing regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty84 0 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Just been watching a YouTube compilation of some of his Rangers moments and there is some decent stuff there. I know anyone can be made to look good in these compilations but i think it could be an ok short-term investment that will add creativity to our attacks. hopefully.

KingKev 0 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) A good friend of mine who's got a season ticket at Schalke says he's got a great character - he shuts up even when he's not playing, he's hard working, perfect on the break and he's decent in finishing. Only positive points - looking forward to see him. Could be a good choice, especially for away games. Edited January 14, 2009 by KingKev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
