Cheers mate, he has developed pretty much the same way in my game, best English AM by far. Able to get him at such a price due to Arsenals decline in my game, pretty much a midtable team for 2 seasons now. He asked to be transfer listed towards the end of the 2014/15 season.

Player: Jack Wilshire Team you are managing: Newcastle Team who are selling: Arsenal Offer: £17.25 million Year: June 2015 Other Info: Already have Will Hughes at the club who has 5* potential, only 2.5* CA, Wilshire at 23 is a almost the finished article with a 4.5 CA and 5* PA. just been...

For CB get Jores Okore, his release clause is something like 1.3mill, did very well as cover for me in my first Newcastle season and has now overtaken Steven Taylor as first choice. Upfront I signed Kadlec, his release clause is similar to Okore, and he is also good back up. What I used to to do...

I was in a very similar situation in my first season with my Newcastle save, Cabeye broke his foot against Man Utd (not before helping us to a 3-0 win!) and was out for 3-4 months. I think it was about early December. Some of his stats did drop slightly, however he came back in after it and...

I am just about to finish my first season with Newcastle, currently on course to either win or come runner up in the league, and into the semi's of the Europa League, has me intrigued to see if I get offered any of the big jobs that will come up in the summer. There are only 2 teams (Roma and...

This could just be me being jammy, but I am having some brilliant results with Newcastle in my first season just playing a fairly standard 4-4-1-1, short passing, through the middle, balanced, set to counter. For home games/games that could be considered 'easier' I play Cabeye and Anita in CM...

If its one for the future and you are happy to stick with colo and taylor for majority of the games then I suggest Jores Okore. Signed him early on in my Newcastle game for just over a million and he is progressing very nicely, played him in all the league cup, FA Cup and some Europa League...

This exact same thing happened to me, I decided to play a system with just one main striker (Cisse) and a AMC (Ben Arfa) behind him. Though I did bring in Vaclev Kadec for 1mil as he is a much better option for the bench than Shola, and develops into a very good player, make sure to give him...

You can get Diskerud on a free, his contract is up in the first Jan transfer window.

Hi, I had this exact same problem, I ended up getting two players in in January. Mikkel Diskerud, 22 year old american playing for Rosenborg, some of his stats will be masked if you havent scouted him already, very capable starting stats, and having seen a few future screens of him, despite what...

Hi everyone. Currently in my first season as Newcastle, just into December and going really well, 2nd in league, just beaten Man Utd 3-0, however in said game Yohan Cabeye had his foot broken and will be out 4-5months, effectively keeping out for the majority of the second half of the season...

Went to school with Steven Taylor of Newcastle, same year too. He was canny enough, though he did used to always call me Stuie rather than Stu, which wound me up. Its the same high school that produced Micheal Bridges, though he left a few years before I got there.
