Ken Anderson “We haven’t given up hope of Sammy Ameobi coming back if Newcastle do manage to bring in the players they are targeting…”

It all went a bit Panto yesterday as Sammy was introduced, bringing back memories of Shola Ameobi…

Sadly Rafa’s options are even more limited on Wednesday night, as both Sterry and Sammy Ameobi are cup-tied.

Don Goodman “We all know the ability that Sammy Ameobi possesses.”

Rafa Benitez “We brought Sammy Ameobi back because we knew we were losing players and it would be difficult to do business…”

Phil Parkinson claims Sammy Ameobi and other loan players recalled by Newcastle to fill their squad up this month.

Phil Parkinson “Sammy Ameobi will go back there (Newcastle) this week and have a chat with them.”

Phil Parkinson “Sammy Ameobi is developing as a player like the team is. We are pleased with him….he’s been immense for us.”

Sammy Ameobi has one team he’d fancy getting in Monday night’s draw….“I’d take Sunderland. They would be perfect. I’d take that.”

Sammy Ameobi looks to be set to follow Shola out of the door very soon, meaning no Ameobis at Newcastle, the end of an era.
