Does anybody know what's happened to Vuckic last time I seen anything about him was when he signed a new contract around January since then havn't seen him on bench and havn't read or saw anything about him being injured. Does anybody know anything ED? {Ed001's Note - I have been wondering the same question myself, he is obviously not seen as ready, but then it is clear Pardew does not like to use youngsters if there is a choice. Otherwise Ranger would be playing up front rather than Lovenkrands, who is, at best, truly awful.}

Couldn't agree more Vuckic has clubs like Man Untd, Real Madrid and AC Milan and others looking at him but Pardew doesn't even rate him enough to put on bench.
And yes you are correct about Lovenkrands. {Ed001's Note - it is a shame, the lad is one of the best youngsters around, yet he can't get a sniff, I know Liverpool are also interested in him. I would have thought now would be the time to blood him, now there is so little to play for put a couple of kids in to give them a chance. As for Lovenkrands, I hate saying it about him because he does work his backside off for the team, but he just isn't good enough, Kuqi is another similar player.}

Players of English Clubs (E.g. Larsson) cannot sign pre-contract agreements with English clubs before 1st June. So players such as Larsson cannot be offered a contract yet, or Jay Bothroyd, but players such as Wendt and Taiwo can be offered contracrs now. (YorkshireMag)
