Ronaldo Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 His current gaff is up for sale and has been for almost 6 weeks. That's not his current house. He just moved into a new house in Jesmond 6 weeks ago. Why were his cars parked outside the Lindisfarne Close gaff a couple of weeks back? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpal78 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I supported the Carroll sale because I thought we were gonna use the money to strengthen the squad in numerous positions. After seeing what happened, I would not sell for Tiote even for 50M! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 But where do we progress to? Unless we get a sugar daddy in or one of the top four (and. Liverpool) lose their own or suffer a massive downturn, it's highly unlikely we'll be able to compete for a Champion's League spot for a long time. The Europa League is a joke of a tournament, and odds are a Champion's League drop-out (an absurd situation) will knock you out anyway. When we had champions only in the European Cup, the superb UEFA Cup and an FA Cup that was valued, progressing to something of value seemed realistic. Not now though. The abomination that is the expanded Champion's League has seen to that. And from a player perspective, again, the prospect of progressing to the Europa League or later rounds of the FA Cup is hardly enticing if you're talented. The expanded Champion's League has devalued the second tiers so much that any half decent player will not want to stick around. Where do we progress to is a daft question considering we're coming off the back of a 12th place in the league. As for Europe, it's clearly a draw and Fulham made over 10million euros when they reached the final. That was just from UEFA and didn't include what they gained from other sources because of the extra publicity and games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I imagine the hope this season is that they increase the income to accommodate a larger wage bill, to expand the squad, swapping players for better ones is great, but what really guarantees higher positions tends to be greater depth. I wonder if the stadium renaming was a panic decision if revenues weren't doing as well as hoped. While I'm not condoning the stadium renaming, I'm not sure a sugardaddy owner would be brilliant in the long term. One wonders what will happen to Man City when the owners lose interest? Will they find someone else willing to fund that? I also think that to some extend a lot of the league is a financial stack of cards, how long can this much money wash around the Premier league while the rest of the economy is in taters?

ExiledGeordie Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I don't want him to go at all, but the two clowns at the top of the club will always think of making £££ first with a sale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 The sentiment is great, but it's not going to happen and to expect otherwise is simply false hope. The club are following a modified Ajax-model - buy low, improve the player's reputation, sell high, repeat. I don't think any player in the club is exempt from this and that will be the case as long as the current owners are in the driving seat. It's a gamble, especially in terms of finding the right replacements, but the silver lining is that if the players are performing well enough for the model to work, then our league position should at least reflect that. I don't see how expecting to hold on to our better players should be seen as false hope. You don't have to sell players to increase revenue and it's just the easy way out for the club. If we increase our performances on the field then that should be reflected in our performance off the field. It’s been shown time after time that we’ve increased our income substantially when we’ve been doing well in the league and been playing in Europe. Getting to the quarter finals of the UEFA Cup would bring in something like £8 million a year and getting that far in that competition isn’t too difficult. We look to be very close to being able to take the step needed. Being in a league position to qualify would probably require a 6th place finish and that alone would bring in over £3 million when compared to where we finished last season. If we try to sell and buy constantly to increase our income then sooner or later it will go wrong and turn to shit. We will have to start showing some ambition if we're to avoind going backwards and now would be as good a time as any. It's false hope because that's what's going to happen, whether it's right or wrong. Simple as that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I don't want him to go at all, but the two clowns at the top of the club will always think of making £££ first with a sale. Aye, they'll sell him for £25m even though he's worth "fack aw" and they'll get the money "ap frant" as well, don't worry about it. As much as we clearly bought well over the summer - better than I thought we had in hindsight - I do think there are holes in the squad that we should have plugged with the money we had. I'm still very apprehensive about centre half cover and yesterday we had nobody on the bench who could help change the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 It's such a sad state of affairs though that we get a great player and can't keep him more than 1 and a half seasons, even if we get great money for him. If we are going to be buying and selling like this I would prefer we sold while we already had someone breaking through the ranks behind, rather than crossing fingers and hoping whoever we bring in, even if it looks safe as houses purchase, fits in.

Christmas Tree Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Anyone else a bit disappointed that we haven't seen more of Tiotes attacking side? Given he has shown glimpses of good attacking play at times before this season and as we arsenal know, he has a canny shot on him, I thought we might have seen a bit more of that against the lesser teams this year. Thought he and Cabaye would have the option to interchange more in attack. Saying that I'm even a tad disappointed that so far, Cabayes threat seems to have gone backwards a bit. That game (villa ) where he was shooting like a man posessed from the edge of the box. Would love to see more of that from them both tbf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Would love to see Tim Krul add an attacking dimention to his game like, maybe Steven Taylor could start striking them from distance as well, then once Jonas sorts out his attacking elements we'll be scoring fucking loads all the time man. We'll be finishing games git 40 - 0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty good for a defensive minded midfielder imo. Especially in a team set up for either wingers or AM to get the assists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Haris Vuckic Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 His shooting last season was appalling to be honest. The goal against Arsenal was on his weaker foot - one in a million. A couple of better attempts this season but I'd rather he stuck to what he was good at & he compliments Cabaye perfectly to the extent only a complete fucking moron would want to mess with it.
