Newcastle United

[Andy 1892]

Went to watch our pre season tour in America as it coincided with a business trip, some decent games, but the one thing I took away from it was just how good Lewis Miley is. He's 17 and if you didn't know it you'd think he was the most experienced midfielder on the pitch in all of his appearances. Wouldn't be surprised if he was pushing for a place in the starting 11 as the season goes in, if he keeps his head.

Some Brighton fans on their forum comparing him to Bellingham last night. His ceiling is huge.

I know we have a tendency to overrate young academy players, but at 17 this kid is the real deal btw. Had far more impact on the game than the £110m midfielder he was face to face with today.

I admire their football. They remind me (style of play) of the United of old.

It's easy to point at the new owners and ex Brighton director as the reason why Newcastle are doing so well but even in that very first transfer window when the owners made some questionable signings and seemed a little bit scattergun, howe still managed to turn their fortunes around dramatically in his first 6 months and even then he has done wonders with players that were underwhelming before he even joined like longstaff and joelinton etc.. and he seems to be doing just as good as job with some of the youngsters he has brought through from the academy.
