Cunning_Linguist Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 It's frankly a f***ing joke that at this point in time it would be madness to sell him. Unless a replacement was made or Full stop? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

quayside Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Forget selling him, the time to do that has gone. He's part of the fabric now and anyway we won't get anyone guaranteed to do better at this stage - Shola and us will live and die together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Bothroyd would be better than Shola IMO, especially with Carroll out. If we can get a good fee for him we should take it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 You have to be pretty heartless to want rid now to be honest, after all we've been through, the good times and the bad (mostly bad).

As far as I am concerned if somebody is willing to pay good money for him I wouldn't pass on the opportunity to finally rid ourselves of him, even if that means risking a small step backwards in the short term.

jdckelly Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Scottwilsonecho Scott Wilson And #NUFC braced for another Birmingham approach for Ameobi. No desire to sell though, especially from Pardew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorin Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 He should actually sell if we coulda gotten any better, but we ain't, if we had sold it would go to Fat Mikes gambooling habits unfortunately So it's all in all a good deal that we actually have a semi-fit striker left in this club.

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 You just know if we did sell Shola he'd score 9 goals against us every game, all of which would be in the Goal of the Season poll at the end of the season, and probably win FIFA's GOAL of the Season too.

Guest hobshobs Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Get rid. How many sitters has he missed in recent games alone. Shocking workrate. Always injured. Never from being tackled mind you. Always a pull or a strain. God only knows how? Too laid back. Couldn't care less attitude. Not much better than Owen and Viduka in the relegation season. An acceptance of what Ameobi produces or doesn't produce may be nearer the mark is an example of why we have been where we are for years. Please somebody come and take him from us.

He owns our homes, our cars, our wives/birds, he owns the lush lasses thread, and the lush lasses in the thread. And he won't stop until we're all crushed into smithereens and recycled in his factories to form his minions, and with the help of his minions, he can only then buy out Dave Whelan and JD Sports. All part of the 5 yr plan. Watch this space Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no intended melodrama in my comment, simply stating facts. Like it or not he's been here all his career and has played for Christ knows how many managers, all of them have had the opportunity to offload him and, apart from a brief loan spell at Stoke, none of them have. They all knew his limitations like the rest of us do, but they also knew he could do a job for us. Offloading him at this time of year would be madness unless we can find a replacement who can be guaranteed to do better and, given the few players on the market and the sort of money likely to be available, we won't.

Benwell Lad Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Always find it quite amazing how almost everyone in the professional game, including a long line of diverse managers and coaches at Newcastle rate Shola highly and value his contribution, yet 50% of punters think he's so hopeless.

Guest Stephen927 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I feel like I'm a housewife, and Shola is my abusive husband. It just doesn't seem there are other options than him at the moment. There is always other options, it's just easier to stick with what you have, what you know.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I have Stockholm syndrome with Shola, I've fallen in love with someone who has caused me a lot of hassle. Let's face it, he's not really a top-level striker, but then neither are a lot of the forwards knocking about the lower reaches of the Premier League. He's served us well on the odd occasion he has played to his full potential, and he deserves respect for always giving us his all and helping us out with some important performances/goals.
