Teasy

I had little doubt he'd got for £30m+, he absolutely isn't worth that though and will fail in the long run, simply because he's thick as mince.

That's what I don't understand, nobody's saying anyone has ruined Ben Arfa's life or owt Just talking about how much they hate Pardew for misusing him in his time here.

I don't see any whimpering two posts above me, don't really know what you're talking about, its all a bit weird to be honest.

Skrtl, what an idiot. On a yellow, gotten away with two possible sending offs so he decides to stamp on someones leg

Doesn't matter what his finances are, they'll be in a huge deficit which means transfer embargo's and possibly even fines from the Football league. But the transfer embargo would be the worst bit for them, unable to move forward to try to improve and another season closer to losing parachute payments.

Didn't realise Villa have a net spend of £40m, going to be fucked if they don't come up first time.

He's not a Newcastle player so he can congratulate anyone he wants, nowt to do with us anymore.

What the fuck are you on about?

Didn't even bother answering Keomans calls, what a complete tit this bloke is.

He's basically reverted to pre Rafa days simply because some absolute prick who did fuck all to keep us up last season and is desperate to leave is now leaving, baffling like IMO.

Tottenham have matched the bid, I'd honestly tell Tottehnam to do one

I haven't seen too many complaining tbf. I'm one of those who believes that Sissoko was one of our best players, but I'm more than happy if we get £30m for him. Not too many, their are people complaining that this now puts us in profit, we're a selling club ect ect. Its a good deal for a player who didn't even want to be here if we stayed up and I wouldn't trust as far as I could throw him if/when we go back up. Don't see a single issue with it, as long as Rafa is allowed to do what he sees fit I'm happy and confident of the direction we're headed in.

I'm entitled to my opinion if you don't like it then tough I'm entitled to mine. Not stopping you, but I don't agree.

People really just want something to complain about if they've got a problem with this deal like.

Aye, because that's how it's always worked in the past. Aye and we've always had a proper manager in the past as well of course.

Suppose we could use the definition that describes a asset as something useful, which IMO Wijnaldum and Sissoko aren't. Unless the use we had for them is helping us get relegated.

Bit of a gormless comment for a professional sports writer. The 12 signings have been brought in to do a specific job, but we'll have to start again if we get promoted, so it's hardly great business to be making profit by selling premier league assets. Some of those 12 we've brought in are Premier League players, and outside of Townsend (which we had no choice in) I wouldn't want to rely on any of the players we've sold should we go back up, rather rely on the likes of Ritchie and Gayle than the two cunts we've sold for £55m

Which we are and have been since Ashley came in. Absolutely, but they've always tried to cover it up. This time it might even be Rafa's idea. Quite possible. I hope we can keep Ritchie fit I think he will have to bear quite the burden when it comes to creating chances this season. Having fast full backs (especially Lazaar who looks very skillful) and another tricky winger to compliment Richtie is going to help a lot in that department though.

Think he'll do really well in some games, but still be the same frustrating player he's always been overall. A different environment isn't going to change the fact that he's really quite a thick Footballer.

Thing is he wanted to leave us even if we stayed up, he hasn't made the kind of step up he's been on about.

Its been all about giving us a squad capable of winning this league, and IMO we've done that. If we can do that and make profit then all the better.

Only reason would be if we needed the money to bring in a replacement. Otherwise its worth waiting, we'd almost certainly get a higher offer as the windows comes to a close.

It'll probably have a clause to force a sale based on games played.
