Sifu Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 In the Star as well. With Newcastle fans still reeling over Kevin Nolan’s shock departure to Demba Ba’s former club West Ham, Toon top brass have put Leon Best up for sale with a £4m price tag. The Republic of Ireland international scored six goals in 11 games for Newcastle before injury cut his season short. And if Best goes it will mean, following Andy Carroll’s £35m move to Liverpool in January and Nolan’s sale, three players who contributed 29 of the 56 league goals scored last term will have left. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/196355/Demba-Ba-flies-in-to-plug-the-gap/? :omg: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Again though £4m is a good price. I'd rather us keep him until we have 3 new strikers mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Wouldn't be surprised if Ashley's loving all this. Talk about a fucking gamble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Was only pointing out that Wraith had mentioned Best and £4m this morning and tomorrow's papers are now saying the same thing. I just hope that there are deals more advanced than we are aware because if their targets start turning them down, we could be in a right mess.

Dave Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 :lol: For all I was saying tonight about Best not being that great, he's certainly worth keeping hold of for a third or fourth option. I can only assume we've got some good players coming in imminently... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinotheprehistoricgeordie Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Selling Best doesn't make sense in the fact that he is on low wages and is doing well for the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottledDog Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Wouldn't be surprised if Ashley's loving all this. Talk about a fucking gamble. I'm loving it too in a way, and really not that fussed that the ones we seemingly actually deem surplus are Cambell, Kuqi, Best, Ranger (though possibly more of another kick up the arse in his case), and Smith, so far. Going to be a mad month, and not worried in the slightest...... ....Yet! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I don't get it. It doesn't make ANY sense. At all. Why sell a player doing a decent job who probably isn't even on much wages and would probably be happy not being a guaranteed starter? Is it just that Mike Ashley is allergic to stability?

ponsaelius Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Would be confusing. But the craziness of this one just makes me more worried about Jonas, Colo etc. Starting to not write off the possibility of anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
