Luc Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I'd be really happy if we went after Bent tbh... We won't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 In terms of business it makes absolute sense to cash in on him now, he didn't want to be here and he's starting to get on a bit. It's the sentimental side of it that sucks, eleven years at the club and he's finally decided to chuck in the towel, just wish he'd held out for the big club he deserved Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Parka Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Sad day for the club, undoubtedly. Selling a player who didn't want to be here? Nah. Urgh, ok. A sad situation then, that better? I'm annoyed he's chosen to walk out on us. But if he doesn't want to be here then he can f***ing suck eggs. Hope we spend the cash WISEly. I'm sad that one of my personal heroes has decided he's had enough of this s*** club. That's what i was getting at. Then that's up to you my friend. Personally, I couldn't give a s*** about him (or anyone else who doesn't want to play for Newcastle United for that matter). He doesn't want to see it through, then f*** him. Agree 100% Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredbob Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Darren Bent would be a fantasitc signing with the way we're playing, couldnt think of a player more suited to our predicament than him. Can lead the line of his own, him and Martins up front would be sexual chocolate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Read the paragraph, it says to possibly discuss a reduced amount, why do you think it has taken four days to agree a fee because Newcastle wanted a player, we have got no-one, what interest is it for Newcastle to sell less than 24hours before the window shuts as the same as Charlie because there was excahnges involved. I am telling you Man City have got him on the cheap It was only a couple of minutes ago you were telling us he had failed a medical. Log out and go to bed bonny lad.

Cajun Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Wish him the best of luck, has put up with a fair bit in his time here and I genuinely believe he cares about the club. Unlike the rest of us though he can get out. Its not as if he has jumped at the first sign of trouble, its been going down the shitter since Sir Bobby was sacked! I also don't believe he failed a medical so we accepted a reduced fee, surely if he has failed a medical they couldn't insure him therefore couldn't complete the signing anyway...

Guest timmy boy Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Strange that it's an undisclosed fee, haven't City released figures for all their other deals under their current owners? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toonlass Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 To be honest I am gutted about this. We had to let him go when he said he no longer wanted to be here. But its really hit home the fucked up state of our club when someone like Given, who has been here for 11 years walks away. I'm dissapointed that he no longer sees Newcastle as a club he wants to be at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 rumours pretty strong about the failed medical mind. Deal takes longer than expected, no wonder there were loads of rumours going around. Seem to remember a few "failed medical" stories for some of our transfers that took a little longer than expected (Dyer, Emre..). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Thomo Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 People laughed at me earlier when I told you of the problem with his medical. Nicko has confirmed the same problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooonDoom Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I can think of only two reasons why the fee is undisclosed: it is low and Newcastle want to save face. it was a decent figure but it will not be reinvested in players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Toon Ice Bear Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 So it will be for the reduced amount then with no players involved, not a very good deal for us. It could be 15M, who knows. It's City But then It's at the other end... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be our lot asking for the fee to be undisclosed. They probably don't want us to know how much they got for him, so that they can say they didn't have the money to spend on someone tomorrow.

dcmk Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Am I the only person who doesn't rate Given as highly as others? I'd rather have a goalkeeper that could organise a defence or at least a wall on a freekick. Fantastic shotstopper though but it's not like he ever kept us in games, if he played well, we usually lost. No you're not the only person. Not at all. Nor will it wash that he's left for a bigger club, Arsenal or Man Utd could be considered that but even with the Arab's billions Man City will never be bigger than Newcastle. It's money and nothing else. Thanks Shay - good luck. I like this post! they will NEVER be bigger than Newcastle?! They nearly attracted Kaka, have more chance of winning silverware for next how many years? plus good stadium and loyal supporters who filled out their stadium even when they went down numerous divisions. A club with a fair bit of history, but because they signed good ol' Shay they will NEVER be bigger than us relegation fodder for the foreseeable future. Kudos I wonder why Shay went, daft lad?

Ketsbaia Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 VERY concerned about keeping the fee a secret. cant see that turning out well for us?? and would people REALLY be happy with bent? he'd eat into quite a lot of our kitty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
