That's about double Long's true value. Hopefully if he's wanting a move, we can drive the price down to nearer ~£6m. As with the Nolan contract stuff, that kind of figure will be a negotiating stance.
I think we're alright there for now, if we could get another one in it would be a bonus. Right-back, at least one striker and another midfielder should be the priorities - along with replacing Enrique if he goes.
So did Nolan until he left, most players get on with the manager while at the club.
There's nothing to suggest that Pardew wants rid of Barton. He might have been forced to get rid of him by the blokes upstairs (if you subscribe to that sort of theory) but I get the feeling that Pardew quite rates him.
Yeah, wasn't one of the things he's said at those talk-ins that he loves working with Pardew and that Pardew was working hard to get him the deal he wanted or something?
We've bid for Gameiro and Pardew confirmed his interest in Erdinc, and we're constantly being linked with Shane Long. Why do people think we're not going to get another striker in? Everything points that way so far.
