Newcastle United have had the 2 greatest ever Premier League strikers when it comes to ability ‘in the air’, according to Tim Sherwood.

Les Ferdinand “Trust me, when you’re a player and there is anxiety in that crowd, you feel it on the pitch.”

Les Ferdinand: “There’s a depression when you get relegated, not just with the fans and with the team but the manager himself…”

Les Ferdinand “People say that (returning to Newcastle is a special one), I had a good time while I was at St James Park but I don’t think of it like that anymore.

Les Ferdinand “We can’t afford it. If I could buy more established players then we would do that…”

Steve McClaren may get his move into senior management earlier than expected, with claims he is set to join QPR, replacing Les Ferdinand.

Les Ferdinand explains why Rafa Benitez’ ‘credentials mean that he is the right man for Newcastle’.

Les Ferdinand believes that if Andros Townsend can finish off the job of keeping Newcastle up, he can expect a phone call from Roy Hodgson.

Newcastle have had an impressive two PFA Player of The Year winners and four PFA Young Player of The Year winners.

Les Ferdinand has added yet another layer to the never ending Charlie Austin transfer saga with his latest comments.
