Daniel Cordone

Age : 26

Nationality: Argentine

Position: Forward

Signed from: Racing Club Buenos Aires. Bobby Robson believes he is a star signing and Bobby can spot a talent like no one else can. The deal was "only" 500k pounds which is very little for a player of his quality. After scoring four goals in six games, he stated that that form is "deffinitely nowhere near what i can do when i get more used to the premiership".

Highlights of 99/00 season: n/a

Prediction: As Daniel is the key to the "strength in depth" which Newcastle missed so much after the departure of John Beresford, big things should be expected from this player. His goalscoring ability, tecnical skills and the fact he settled to the league so quickly and scored goals can both make him create chances and maybe make him as popular as was "one quite anonymous magpie Frenchman who once played for the club" (not Cordone's quote, don't worry).
