Guest icemanblue Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Sure, let's all get really excited about a key player, arguably our best signing a long-term contract. He's going to be here until he is 30!!! Andy Carroll signed a 5 year contract in October 2010. He was sold in January 2011. Contracts mean fuck all in the modern game. Cheer up, man.

Contracts mean fuck all in the modern game. but why wait to the summer when he'd be easier to tempt away with a bigger gap in wages numbnuts ? if you're on 15k a week and someone says here's 70k then your eyes will light up, if you're on 50k a week and enjoying your football/life when being paid 50k you might just say fuck it and stay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to be here until he is 30!!! Andy Carroll signed a 5 year contract in October 2010. He was sold in January 2011. Contracts mean f*** all in the modern game. If they mean f*** all, then why does it matter whether he gets offered one now or in the summer? By the time summer comes, the likes of Man City and Chelsea won't give a f*** that he signed a contract in February, as we saw with Carroll/Liverpool. At least if it was offered May/June it would have signalled that he was not available under any circumstances during that window. Or not sign it and go for much less money.

Colocho Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Barton will definitely sign, I genuinely think he wants to be here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 He's one of the best players at this club, and key to it's future. Just find the timing very strange. Stop moaning on FFS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Great deal for the club. He's the most important player we have, above Enrique, Coloccini and Barton. The one that frees up other players and gets the best out of them. Totally deserved 50k/wk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

October - Lets give Carroll a new deal, he deserves it. January - Give me another new deal - Liverpool bid - New deal or I leave - Fuck off then, thanks for the £35 million. Fair play to Ashley. That was probably double his value and one less greedy tosser at the club. I have never heard of any player getting a new deal then wanting another new deal 2 months later.

CPL Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Good news although i agree that signing extension contracts these days hardly mean a thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 He's one of the best players at this club, and key to it's future. Just find the timing very strange. Assuming that the other players consider him one of their most capable team mates, I would expect that the thought process behind the timing is to give the team a boost going into the back-end of the season. Pardew has said they are chasing Europe - news like this will help with any push. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 It's true that a new contract doesn't mean we can't or won't sell anyone, but if you can't take the positives from news like this then you might as well pack in because NUFC genuinely has nothing for you. Exactly. I'm pretty confident now that Tiote will be here next season - I can't see any clubs paying too much over-the-odds for someone with the reputation of a "destroying" midfield player (even though he's more than that to us). If he is here next season then it is as good, to me, as any new signing, because I fully expected us to be replacing him with a lesser model. Club makes sensible move and people moan, its mental man. Giving someone like tiote a contract for 6 years is bang on what this club needs, its sensible, its the correct line of thinking and planning we have been crying out for. Securing your assets before the summer (yes i know a big bid could come in) is just sensible man. You only have to go back a few years to Shepherd and his sons massive mishandlng of players wages and contracts to see how good a move this is.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Tiote is definitely more important than Enrique, in as much as a top holding midfielder is much more important than any fullback. Would love to see Jose sign on the dotted line ASAP though, although as people have said he seems like he wants to either wait until we're safe or beyond that to see if we're buying anyone. Still, tying up Tiote like this will encourage the other players to sign too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really are an unhappy little man, Colocho. We've just got our best player to sign a long-term contract and you're whinging about it. This is absolutely marvellous news. Even if we got him to sign the contract with a pen stuck down his jappa, it wouldn't take the edge off how amazingly brilliant this news is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 So Colocho If Barton and Enrique signed new contracts now would they be 'bad timing' as well ?!? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Seem to have two fairly staunchly opposing camps forming over this news! Personally, I think it's fantastic - committing a player of his calibre is just the pick-me-up we needed as a club - just as we are (internally and externally) questioned as to whether we are a selling club ready to cash in on our best assets this summer. It is rather sad though, looking at the big picture, that the fan's trust in the regime has been so thoroughly battered that it questions whether this is just a ploy to plump up Tiote's price/encourage season ticket renewals before he is eventually sold - and while maybe such arguments should seem far-fetched, they're not ridiculous and not as easily dismissed as they should be. Anyway, here's hoping to many years of Tiote dominating midfields for the Toon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised at Dave's realism but can't fault either of these posts. Colocho, what on earth...? It's depressingly obvious that you would be starting the witch-hunt, don't undo all of your good work with U4N by becoming a figure of fun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
