NEWCASTLE UNITED WORLD CUP SPECIAL

Gary LinekerSo, here we are sat in sunny Brazil Andre, you must now be in wonder land after the season you just had with Newcastle.
AVB Yes, you could say that Gary. Umm... the season was fantastic and I am very proud of my players but I have my sights set on bigger things for next season.
Gary Lineker I'm sure Newcastle fans will be pleased to hear that eyyy haha! Well a lot of people were surprised by your stand out players last year. You seem to have managed to bring the best out of players such as Gabriel Orbetan who had a terrific season for you.
AVB Yes Gabriel was fantastic this season. I played him in his preferred role on the right and gave him the freedom to show off what he can do. But I think we can not get carried away about just one player, I mean Kevin ummm little Kevin Kampl was playing out wide in that position a lot of the time and Gabriel would act as a sort of impact player. But yes, Gabriel definitely put in some important performances and he should be proud.

Gary Lineker Yes a lot of players performed well, including new signing Ryan Shawcorss who many fans believe to be player of the season. I bet you were happy when he put in the performances he did to silence the critics after the departure of Fabricio.
AVB I was very impressed with Ryan this year. It was hard for him to leave Stoke as we all know how much he loved the club and the fans. But he acted like a real professional and put in the performances for us straight away.
Gary Lineker Indeed. So Andre will you be looking at the talent on offer out here at the world cup to add to your squad
AVB Ofcourse, but I already have a few names in mind and the type of players I want to bring in. I will enjoy the time I spend out here with my family but of course I will always be looking for ways to improve the squad. We have already signed a striker on a contract with no transfer fee involved who I believe will add depth to the squad - Denis Stracqualursi.

Gary Lineker Well, good luck for next season and enjoy your time in Brazil.
