Hurry up Nile!

According to the Daily Mirror, Newcastle United’s 21-year-old Striker Nile Ranger has turned up late for training one time to many.  Despite the speed and agility Nile can show on the pitch he apparently doesn’t show the same enthusiasm when on his way to work.

Alan Pardew has told Nile that he won’t be training with the first team until he turns up for work on time for six weeks in a row.  This should make Nile think about if he can really show the commitment it takes to be a professional footballer, to get up after only one snooze of the alarm clock.

In fairness to Mr Ranger I to have trouble getting out of bed in the mornings it’s a serious problem and perhaps Alan Pardew should cut him some slack.  With regards to a first team place, Ba and Cissé have played so well recently, I don’t see ranger getting a start in the near future.
