Still miss you, you lying cunt <3

This is obviously a conspiracy. Enrique starting to play shit to not attract suitors. Well done, Pardew.

Haha, loonatic tbh.

He doesn't want to be here Obviously. Well done, Ashley and ambitions.

On Carroll. I seriously believe we wouldnt be as shit as we are today if he'd had not been sold. Not that he would play, but the player's morale seem fucking terrible.

Anyone surprised?

Depends on your definition of success but I don't think that's true at all. I think the club would like you to think it though. Well yeah, by success I was thinking European qualification and then pushing up into the top 4. If by success you mean getting promoted and potentially finishing in the top half, then pushing on from there... we're already doing that. Do you think Spurs are taking massive financial risks? Or even the mackems, who will probably still either bottle it or simply be caught by Liverpool, but are still very much in contention for Europe? Do you think Arsenal are taking massive financial risks? How would you have gone about running the club? Serious question. Thats a question to anyone bytheway. Don't sell the best players? Agenda aside id genuinely be interested in someones opinion as to what exactly they'd do differently. In terms of transfers I think we;ve been close to spot on in recent years. Even Spurs had to sell the likes of berba and carrick before they got estabilished. If the money is spent wisely then we're on the right way in my opinioon. Obviosuly the biggest if going. Aye, our transfers have been so spot on, we ended up going down. Jesus, man. We went down due to the utter managerial shambles post Keegan. The squad, although it contained plenty of over paid under performers, was still good enough to be in the Premiership. We'd have stayed up if we'd not sold Given, N'Zogbia and/or Milner. We'd have also stayed up if between them, Owen, Viduka, Nolan, Martins, etc. had managed one more goal between them which really shouldn't have been too much to ask? That's the second totally irrelevant reply you've made Nut. They didn't, so obviously it was too much to ask. If you go down, you go down. They don't let you off because it was a close shave. What was irrelevant about the first reply? You said we went down due to bad transfers, all I'm saying is that since we've came back we've made some very good ones. You're including Stephen Ireland on loan? We've just sold our most important player, you might have missed that. I think that tips the balance. So we'll see in the summer if they've returned to form (Jan 2009), or whether the signings his summer will follow what's happened more recently. Well the manager who made the good ones is now gone, so what's your money on? The scout who found them is still here though. True, but Pardew doesn't seem to care about others advice. Wanting to sign almost only old players already in the Premier League....ugh.

Obivously we have a lot of money in some of our players. He'll stay at least until he has cashed in on our most valuable ones.

Depends on how we lose imo.

LukeEdwards0 Luke Edwards If I was a betting man, Barton will sign new contract, Enrique will not and he will leave #nufc in the summer. Delaying tactics from LB Must say I fear this a bit.

Like I haven't lost enough glow for the game after the sale of Carroll... I actually think I would cry.

Ambition? No.

Let the backlash of the sale of Carroll begin...

Basically Barton says: Disappointing to lose a player of his calibre. Fantastic player, but also a good friend. Will be in contact for the rest of our lifes. Think he'll do well in Liverpool. Wish him all the luck in the world. And as our other scouser...: "Fantastic move for Carroll"

30th december: "The Rennes left winger Sylvain Marveaux was in the directors' box at Anfield last night and is expected to become the first of Hodgson's signings in the January transfer window. Marveaux is still recovering from a groin injury and judging from the way some of Hodgson's other signings were treated he may yet change his mind." We'll probably get some competition from the massive, huge, fantastic, sexy Liverpool.

Since when was Duncan Ferguson from Manchester, and a boyhood Manchester United fan? Why should that matter?

Gutted to have lost him? Obviously. But he comes across like he is loving that he has joined Liverpool, and absolutely supported it. The bigger and better Liverpool - the massive opportunity.. It is terrible. The fact that he actually has an interview like this is in it self is terrible tbh. Not to start with some of the content...

We should've stand firm and never sold him. Bottom line.

It really does...ugh.

"When we first heard about the move he asked me what I thought. You can imagine my reaction. I was delighted for him. " Fucks sake. Irritates the hell outta me this.

All things considered though it was probably the right decision. Probably not. But hey, everyone with their opinion.

Firstly we will have a budget for this season, putting Carroll on 80k would disrupt that. Also the club rightly wants to bring every players wage to a respectable level, Carroll for 80k a week simply isn't worth it.

What the f*** should he say? "How did you feel when you first heard of Liverpool's interest? "I didn't give a toss, I'm Newcastle through and through. Now take me back home please." Of course. That wouldn't really work out in the real world tho.. His actual answer is a pretty standard answer, who i wouldn't lay too much thought in to. Also the reporter is very clearly trying to drag answers like that out of him - almost putting words in Carroll's mouth. Why wouldn't it? A transfer can only go through if three parties agree to it. He didn't have to sign for Liverpool. I was solely talking about his quotes after he had already signed.
