We have talked to Newcastle about him. Make of that what you will.
''This does not mean we are going to sign him, just that we have talked to his current club''

Googled his name and it seems as though he has recently had hip surgery.

From Wikipedia (I know not the best but...): "Speculation mounts as to whether Ameobi has a future at the club with a string of clubs monitoring his availability, inside sources have stated that they expect Shola Ameobi to be leaving the club in the near future with a couple of west midland clubs expressing an immediate interest."
This could well be a rumour with something to it!

But 1 goal in every 6 games in the Prem . . . what would this convert to in the Championship? Also this has been as Newcastle where he's been down the pecking order. The big concern must be over his fitness - Earnshaw would be preferred for me but I'd have Ameobi without a doubt! Nice to be talking about players of this calibre though not some bloody Icelandic cast off!!!

Better than Sidebe's ratio ain't it and in a more difficult league. He's a lot better than Sidibe from what I've seen of him.

Hang on - how many players have consistantly scored in Newcastles sides over the past few years? Aside from Shearer, no-one as far as I can remember. The constant managerial merry-go-round, changes to tactics, new players bought in; all factors that are bound to affect any young players performance.
As Tony is constantly touted as a magnificent man-manager and motivator, I'd expect him to be able to knock the rough edges off a player like Ameobi and turn him into a diamond.

If there was anyone to turn his career around, it would be our Tone.
He does seem to have the knack of turning seemingly shite players into money in the bank/better players.
Ade - Free - 600k Higgy - 250k - 3M! He even flogged Chadwick for more money I think! (and he didn't even buy him)

I don't rate him at premiership level but he will definately score goals for you. I wouldn't read to much into stats, many of the games you all have used in your calculations i.e. 1 goal in 6 games were as sub. Sometimes only coming on for 2 or 3 minutes. He also played in the first team for quite a while when he was injured and had to wait to long for surgery. There is one stat you might be interested in if thats what floats your boat. He is not far off being our ALL TIME leading scorer in european competitions.
