He was our best player with Townsend as soon as Rafa give him the captaincy. Still wouldn't be against him leaving if Rafa gets the money to reinvest. He wants away. He sees himself as better than us, and that was when we were a PL team. He's barely tried a leg in his time here, save for some of the televised games against the top teams, ie the teams he thinks he should be turning out for. Even Rafa won't be able to get much out of him against championship teams. It's just not where he sees himself. He's deluded in thinking he should be in the Champions league year in year out. Given the crazy prices going around now our best bet is to hope some club is daft enough to give us £25m for him and let Rafa invest that into his own signings.

Incredible! I'll give Sima and that Fish fella their dues for bursting every myth/cliché that the mackems and West Ham arselicker are perpetuating but I'll be honest I couldn't even be bothered to respond to that. How do you possibly debate or reason with that sub human scum? You could round them all up, every last one of them, and the total IQ still wouldn't be hitting double figures. I also noted that "our lot" are still all horse punchers meaning (by their rules) them lot are still all paedos.

Just got to hope he starts tomorrow and plays well then someone is daft enough to part with £25m for this cowardly fraud. He'll be no use to us whatsoever in the Championship given how he could even motivate himself to play premier league football for us.

Hahaha quality!

Seriously it's actually the best place to go to find out the latest NUFC news. They're beyond obsessed. There's regularly more posts about us than them on the first page.

Great news. Thanks for the updates!

What really narks them is that despite our relegation they're still stuck there, a nothing club just festering away in our shadow. We still get more media attention, we'll still get bigger crowds, we've still got a far higher profile manager, still signing better quality players than them and their latest signing is only joining them so him and his lass can move back to Newcastle. The only time they've had any attention from the rest of the country is because they knowingly allowed a paedophile to play for them. That's literally their claim to fame. Is it any reason they're so bitter?

Aye yer right. Terrible idea.

Picture of Rafa with Gamez and the slogan "Jesus and God" should be made into a flag.

Agree we should still be looking to upgrade Dummet. He looks absolutely petrified every time he has the ball at his feet.

Shouldn't accept a penny less than £30m for him now like. Make that £35m if they beat Portugal.

Brilliant effort

I take it you just completely ignored the lanes, the pavilion and the coastline when you were in and around Brighton then? Have you actually been there? The lanes are full of moody jewellry shops, the beach is a pebble beach meaning those in the NE are far better and the Pavillion is somewhere you'd only ever visit once, at most . If that's the best you can do then it says everything tbqh. A city centre needs to be functional and the lack of a proper department store renders Brighton second rate. Why would you travel to Brighton to go to a department store ffs. This is the sort of daft attitude my mam used to have when we went on holiday. In the middle of a beautiful market and she'd be scoping out the city for a Marksies, it's pointless, why are you even on holiday and what are you on holiday from? Don't think anyone goes on holiday to get away from Marksies mind.

They're only getting him because he knows he'll be able to live in Newcastle again. Fancy that being your main bargaining tool when it comes to signing players man!

Aye but Newcastle has the flagship store

Fenwick in Newcastle is quite possibly the best shop in the world man!

No wonder they were only getting 20 odd thousand crowds in that league!

Hope he's sh!te tbh. Having seen him play for us I think he will be. Decent going forward but hopeless defensively. His performance down at Arsenal has to go down as one of the worst individual defensive displays I've ever seen from a NUFC player, and he has some competition there!

Ritchie will torture him next season like.

Would rather we went after that Flint from Bristol City. Hanley looks like a decent championship standard centre half but nowt more.

Rafa out!!!

Went to Leeds on Sunday for the Rugby. Was quite impressed with the city centre.

Never been to Bristol but agree, Norwich is really nice.

Surely he'd make a good full back for any Championship side?

They nearly all did last time we were in that league. Pretty sure we went the entire season undefeated at home and other than the 3000 fans stuck high up in the singing corner the atmosphere wasn't even particularly good. What with this kicking off and the overall general feelgood factor this time round you'd expect it to be far better.
