You have to be fucking kidding me. You think they'll be laughing at releasing a player on a free?

Got what he wanted then, if true. Very poor from Joey.

Hasn't Routledge been one of the people most supportive of those players expressing discontent at the running of the club on twitter? If by supportive, you mean retweeting (though not commenting on) one of Bartons tweets..... then yes.

Forster and Harper in the same squad is strange. A half each? Doubt it. Pardew has already said, Harper gets this game, Krul gets Fiorentina.

At least they have a board that has ambition and cares for the club, right. Right?

Win some games, lose some games, won't go down, fingers crossed we'll build on last yeat and break into the top half. Mainly I hope the types of players and kids we've brought in make us look forward to games, and be excited by the team whoever we're playing. I think with Ben Arfa, Cabaye, Harris, Furguson, Abied and Marveaux, will will.

But as Hughton said himself, there is nothing stopping a manager just bringing in some of the kids for experience. Why bring in a rule that limits a managers choice?

Agree entirely.

I'll never understand you kids and your money wanks.

For real? WayneRoutledge Wayne Routledge @rateyourplayer That can't be true? Wayne's not so sure.

Exclusive: @Joey7Barton has been told he can leave Newcastle now for free? Stoke have offered him personal terms

ust watched an interview with Hughton on SSN and I still can't get my head around the substitutuions rule change. Anyone got a scooby why any club would benefit from it?

I'd be very surprised if he classes whether or not he stays on twitter as 'a decision on his future' to be fair.

Damn. Ah well, I'd like to think Ashley is still in for him, but how about you and Tottingham?

Eh? He was already told that months ago man.

Surely that'd be massively helmetty though?

He has said that he will NEVER be sold though. He will only go on a free, or leave at the end of his contract! /you're probably right though.

Oh joy. Finished training at 12, clearly called back in for a meeting at 3. Im on tenterhooks here. TENTERHOOKS! Guessing they're giving him the free transfer he's asked for.

This bit in particular - "There is no plan for new capital outlay on players." Oddly enough (for the first and only time?), we sold nobody and spent close to £7m on trasfers and loan fees, as well as whatever lump sums Gosling and Campbell pocketed.

Fiasco! however we were still shouting for a leftback cover then also! We brough in Perch as cover. *shudder*

My, what a bold prediction.

Fiasco!

Whey, not that he was out of the team, but the reason behind it maybe. /something sure as hell was said either then or later to prompt his massive whine.
