Hughton plans no more loans, despite Hall blow
NEWCASTLE manager Chris Hughton will not be bringing any more players to the club before the end of the season, despite seeing yet another defender limp out of the club's chase for promotion.[LNB] Fitz Hall broke down with a hamstring injury ten minutes into the second half of the club's Championship draw at Bristol City.[LNB] The on-loan QPR centre half now joins Steven Taylor and Mike Williamson on the sidelines as the Magpies plot their return to the Premier League.[LNB] It is feared Hall may have kicked his last ball for the club as hamstring injuries tend to take between four and six weeks to heal.[LNB] The defender's absence represents a huge blow to the club's top-flight aspirations with Taylor still a month away from making a return to the first team, while Williamson will not be ready for at least a further seven days.[LNB] Hughton was linked with moves for Lille midfielder Yohan Cabaye, Valencia winger Pablo Hernandez and Getafe striker Juan Albin at the weekend.[LNB] But he ruled out any new arrivals at St James' Park before the loan deal window closes on Thursday.[LNB] Instead, the Magpies chief, down to only two fit first team centre backs for the visit to Doncaster Rovers tomorrow, will turn to starlet Tamas Kadar.[LNB] Loans are something we're always thinking about and toying with, but at this moment I don't see it, said the Newcastle boss.[LNB] Fitz Hall will not be ready for next week.[LNB] He felt his hamstring and we won't know until later how bad it is. He felt it go so we had no choice but to take him off.[LNB] Normally when you take someone off it is not a great sign.[LNB] Williamson is not far away. He still has a problem with his hand.[LNB] He will have a cast on that and he will be able to play with it.[LNB] I think at this moment we're probably looking at Forest (before he returns).[LNB] Kadar replaced Hall ten minutes into the second half of United's entertaining score draw in the west country and did not put a foot wrong as the Magpies extended a 19-year unbeaten run on Robins soil.[LNB] Yes, Kadar will play. I thought he did very well when he came on, said Hughton.[LNB] He is a young player who has gained experience by playing games and he will continue to gain experience.[LNB] The left-sided Hungarian centre-half will play alongside Fabricio Coloccini at the Keepmoat Stadium.[LNB]
