Shaun Newton - Give him a chance?

[Stinkenzo]

What are your thoughts on Shaun Newton's time at Leicester?

Should we give him a chance next year?

[Joe.]

Personally I think he's done alright.

I think he's worth a shot.

I think he's worth a shot.

I agree, I think he's good enough.

[lildave3]

Without a doubt yes.

[00rawat]

Would keep but only on loan again because he has not played that many games.

[Tommeh]

done well bit hit and miss at times however, defenatly got a future at the club, huge improvement on Low, sylla, Hughes ets.

[Tevez]

He's worked his socks off here at Leicester. I'd keep him.

[00rawat]

Just remember those he be playing good but that the same as hammond when every one thougth he was good and we signed him and what a crap player he has turned out to be and was pricey just don't want that to happen again.

[Mort]

Season long loan, with an option to make it permanent would make sense, i think he's pretty handy, if we could also nab Jarvis from Gills and try and start to involve Gradel then i think we could pretty much cover the wings for next season... the centre-mid would still be a massive hole, baring Weso of course.

Was Hammond good at the start then?

[Royston.]

I dont want another right midfielder who doesnt influence games.

Newton hasnt done much wrong but he has been ordinary apart from an inspired second half against Birmingham.

Perhaps it is expecting too much from a Championship club but I think if you're going to play wide men they have to make a difference.

This goes for the left side too, Porter has gone off the boil and up until recently he's been allowed to get away with it.

Has Hammond ever been good?

[Guest Gist]

For us? He's started them all hasn't he?

[Royston.]

Hammond = panic buy

[Flynny]

He's definately a keeper.

[Lineker's Left Foot]

I agree mate !

[brookfox]

He's definately a keeper.

I don't think he's tall enough.

[Daggers]

I'd say 'definitely yes' if he could do more tricks...ones with animals and pulling coloured hankies from his shirt preferably.

[act smiley]

B+ would loan again.

[Micky Ruddle]

got everyone off their seats when we played birmingham, so why not, he deserves his chance, he is experienced bloke, andcertainly lot better the JLow and MSylla!

[lookwhaticando]

He's definately a keeper.

Not a winger?

Oh and to anyone who says "remember all those players who were good on loan but crap when we bought them..." perhaps a quote from Gene Hunt would be appropriate.

"If I was as worried as you, I'd never fart for fear of shitting myself".

[Thracian]

As with all players it depends on the options. And how good Gradel proves to be in pre-season.

Because a winger who scores as many goals as that guy is a rarity indeed.

Newton has been an improvement on what we had before.

But that's like saying Marmite sandwiches had been an improvement on shit for a teatime snack.

Before getting excited about another player who's still only played a few games for us and has hardly proved anything we should be objective about what we'd be getting.

And it won't be an avalanche of goals, it won't be anyone we could sell on and it won't be someone who's likely to keep improving.

Whether he's good enough depends on if there's anyone better.

[a-fox]

wot i have seen of him hes been average and if we want to challenge for a top 6 finish we will need better.

[Fatbloke]

What we saw in the second 45 of the Birmingham game is proof posative of what he`s capable of, worth another season to see if we can get that sort of performance out of him on a regular basis.

you could say that about few other players.
