Dan Gleebals Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Great news. He will feel wanted and rewarded and for the negative people on here, it pushes his value right up as well! Comments coming from a number of players seriously need to be taken on board by Ashley. With investment he can keep these players together and we move on to a new level. This summer really is crucial. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzzieMandias 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. If they mean fuck 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 fuck 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. On the other hand maybe they thought it wise to quell the speculation early, and get our best player concentrated on the job while the season still holds some promise. Obviously, quelling your kind of speculation is impossible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he will get his money back from a total sale of the club. Its better for Ashley to get the club qualifying for europe on a regular basis would make us even more attractive to potential buyers. This 35 million could be a spring board for the club wilst also resigning players like Barton, Nolan, Enrique, Jonas and Colo. We have a good core that could be added to. A club with 52 k fans, well run finances and playing in europe on a regular basis is far more attarctive then the shit Ashley picked up from the Halls and shepherds.

summerof69 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 50k a week for him is cheap imo. So this is a good deal and yes we may still sell him but this contract will add value to him, which does two things, one is make clubs think twice about signing him, the other is if we do sell we get a lot more from him. So which ever way you look at this contract it is a good thing and though i can understand that NUFC can force a person to be pessimistic this is a good deal which atleast shows the club is trying.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 If we qualify for Europe on a regular basis while being run financially how Ashley wants, I wouldn't be surprised if he decided to stick around TBH. Anyway, back to Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 by the way, what did taking carrolls wages off the books save, 30-40k per week by estimates? suppose this isn't all additional expenditure from the 35m fee at least Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OoOGazOoO Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Brilliant news. Doesn't really change much, apart from the fact we would get more for him when we sell him. He is a fantastic player, and is one of the best signings seen in the Premier League in recent years in my opinion. He will be a Newcastle legend in my opinion.

Guest toonlass Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Christ there's some miserable buggers on here. Just enjoy the fact that an excellent player has signed a long term contract with us and stop looking for negatives. I'm happy as a sand bug about this.

Leazes1986 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Great news, absolutely HUGE in fact. It ties a top class player down long term, shows a statement of intent to our other players (I certainly think this will be enough to convince Barton), and it protects us if other teams coming now because they'd have to pay top, top dollar now.

stalker Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I hope this means he is staying long term, but given Carroll was sold less than 4 months in to a new 5 year contract I am not entirely optimistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayson Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Dont see how anyone can see this as anything but positive news. Ive been as suspicious as anyone about quotes coming out. But at the very least this is a great sign of valuing our club from Tiote himself, which should have a beneficial effect on other players thoughts of our clubs ambition...in the same way Carrolls sale could have effect those thoughts negatively. I dont see any of the top 4 going for Tiote yet, its still just his first season & everyone else is far less likely to after this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Tiote seems pretty grounded to me and I always thought that unless the club decided to sell him that he would be content to stay for another year or two because he would think there was still a lot to learn before stepping up to one of the big 4. He is a fixture in this team where he might not be at a club with a big squad. However I would be amazed if he was still here in 7 years time but I am fairly confident now that he will be here next season and thereafter it will depend on how the club progresses.
