I'd just rather we kept our best players, tbh. If Mike Ashley pocketing £30m gets you hard, fair play. His overall performance and contribution last season was shite, he vehemently doesn't want to be here, and he's taken a massive strop over not being able to leave which would instantly transfer to the dressing room and onto the pitch. I can't see why anyone would be unhappy about this transfer other than to be pointlessly contrary. As fans we get nothing out of this, man. If he'd stayed we'd be a better side. It's not tough to figure out. I'm not gutted. But there's nothing to celebrate here, at all.

Yep. A relegated club who've made a massive profit when we should actually be spending a bit more money to ensure promotion.

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. We had one in 2008, too. Anyone convinced that we'll reinvest the transfer fee in the team should probably wake the fuck up, like. Nothing to suggest we will.

What's our profit? £40m? £30m according to transfrmarkt. I'm sure we were nearly in profit by £10m before today, like.

All of his strengths relate to attacking, to be fair.

You're right. I apologise.

Paully you spent years defending a CB who could do everything but defend, to be fair. At least Sissoko got plenty of assists.

Yep. Obviously he's not gonna make it. Don't think he gives a fuck, either.

Ours is Michael '26 goals in 4 seasons' Owen, to be fair.

Thick as a castle wall.

Someone put him out of his misery, please.

They're not. Obviously they're by far the best club out of the two at this point, and have been for over decade.

Why not? He'll not be motivated to play for us and we'll be fine without him. We'd be much better with him. The £25m helps us far less.

Why would anyone want us to accept £25m at this stage? Really are some hideously dense fuckers on here, like.

Exactly. Thought they were supposed to be a big player now with all this extra cash but signed Ashley Williams and bolaise. Shows how attractive a club they are. 7/2 to still be a Newcastle player at 11pm looks good You say that like Ashley Williams isn't a better CB than anyone we've had on our books since Woodgate.

Anyone who rates Dummett is clearly an idiot. Like the bloke in your avatar you mean? We both know that if the time comes that the forum starts rating him at the level that you do, you'll do a complete heel turn on him and insist that he's a terrible coward. I don't even rate him that highly. Good defender and a good lad, but a poor footballer. Definitely the type you want at the club, though.

Why the fuck would they?

Kane wasn't even a year older, actually. Agree with the rest.

Rafa was picking Tiote at the back end of last season so he clearly doesn't think he's shit. If anything, asking for a fee suggests that he knows he's still got value, if we're letting him go it's because he's got a year left on his contract and he wants a move. If he doesn't get it, he'll probably feature in quite a few games this season. Steven Taylor too.

What the hell are you going on about, man?
