Big Geordie

Ashley may not want him injured, if some club comes in with a big offer. I remember similar being done with Cabaye.

I guess we will see. Mind, it is from Talkshite - it were from Sky or the Ronnie.......

Too old and Ashley won't fork out on his wages.

I'd love Joe to sign permanently, but I can understand if he is reluctant. He will be quite aware of how this NUFC operates.

Won't be released until after the transfer window closes.

Just think of the wages that Ashley is now saving on though.

The son-in-law will be a puppet. We all know who will be pulling the strings.

Blyth played really well - listened to the comms. Harper has a job on.

Because supporters have been divided and groomed into believing that this is their lot and things will get no better. Add to that, that Ashley has the likes of Sky and Talkshite in his back pocket, with plenty of client journalism going on.

If that's the case, it's a no-brainer, which means Ashley will still only want the lad on loan, or not at all.

Big Keith going into Walter Mitty mode then?

Don't be silly. He will incur the fine, rather than release them. He will wait until after the transfer window shuts.

It just reafirms what we all know - Mike Ashley pulls all the strings, at NUFC.

I could see Ashley employing Terry in the future, just to rile the supporters further.

Wyke was out of contract, IIRC.

With regards to what cabbageheed has said tonight on transfers, it seems as if Ashley is finally pulling the life-support that he has been running the club on, and will then lay the blame squarely at the feet of the PL. Anyone who has gotten a season ticket for this coming campaign - you need your heed read.

Some meltdown from Edwards. What a bellend.

Hendick at centre-forward!

Couldn't blame the lad if he is tired of the zombie club set up and wants away. Always thought if someone came in with £40million+, that Ashley would peddle him.

If he has lost his mojo, he will be pish.

I wouldn't take Barkley. He's a player on way down. If he's available - get Joe Willock in, FFS.

"I'm getting the word........" She's a fool.

He will never learn, will he?

I'm sure he was linked previously, when he was at Everton.

Ashley to make a statement tonight?
