The deal agreed, meant they were loaned back.
Apparently, the deal wouldn't have happened without the loan back.
To be fair, this is the first time Newcastle have lost their first choice keepers since 2006 (when the re-signed Pav on a free).
I can't recall it happening at too many clubs over the years, suppose the most high profile example of the first choice keepers becoming injured at the same time was when Casillas made his debut for Real Madrid in 2001 or 2002.
As I said the other day, I have no idea why Pardew doesn't explore the free market - if the Premier League are going to rebuff his attempts to get someone on loan.
Rather than bang his head repeatedly against a brick wall...
Probably the kind of deal that would stipulate no-recall...
Don't see why Newcastle cant recall Karl Darlow and send him back to Nottingham in the New Year, unless rules prevent that of course...
There is the free market of course, but I think that shuts around now before the main window reopens.
Would be shit if Newcastle have to call on the 4th choice 17yo...Talk about thrown out the frying pan and into the fire...
I remember a few years ago Sunderland sent Marton Fulop to Man City for emergency cover.
Talking about Pav, he was at my school sports day when I was about 10, me and my mate were having a kick around, I 'I'm going in, I will show Pav some moves'
I ended up diving at full stretch, put my arm under my head to stop me head hitting the deck, my arm somehow ended up buckling under me, think I caught my wrist in a divot on the grass, I managed to fight back the tears as it felt like I snapped my arm, lol...Gave Pav a good laugh and was a premature end to my goalkeeping
