wouldn't having it as public knowledge that he's turned down a contract probably bring his price down ?
Not really, he had two years left, and he was never going to go for a huge amount.
Wonder if it was the club who asked to start negotiating a new deal, planning to offer him a crap deal so he could turn it down, then accept a bid for him. I might be totally wrong like but the timing of the talks seems strange.
People weren't happy but they trusted Keegan. He even came out and explained things to fans at St James who'd gathered to express their feelings
Maybe Mike and Derek will do the same.
What about the massive contribution on the pitch in the last two years?
Do you think he was going to contribute much on it in the next two?
At the minute he would contribute more in terms of goals than any other of our forward players, so it is madness to sell.
you sure ? with tiote and cabaye would you have him starting ?
Yes in a 4-5-1 formation.
