Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I can't understand some peoples ease of acceptance towards letting Barton & Nolan go. I'm sure everyone agree's they need upgrading, they are both at the wrong end of their 20's and limited already. However, replacing performers with unknowns will probably see us tumble fast enough to not realise the potential in any replacements signed, leading to yet another untimely upset. There's no denying in the past 3 seasons we have come to appreciate, if we didn't already, the positive influence on performances squad cohesion has, and how often, it is bigger contributing factor to the sum of parts. It is certainly not the time to be making such gambles with such uncertainty ahead. We need to hold on to as many givens as possible, and in my opinion keeping attitudes like Barton and Nolans as a big part of our team are an absolute must.

There is no guarantee that new players coming in will adapt to the Premier League or settle in Newcastle and if they do well, they might want to move on to a perceived bigger club ASAP. It would be a huge risk to remove the experience from the squad. The team needs to evolve rather than be radicallly overhauled each year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was a limitless pot of money I would agree with you. With Ashley in charge there clearly isn't, so either players lower their demands or some rich foreigner or NUSC buy out the club. Maybe for Joey and Nolan's sake the latter will finally get their arse in gear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other owners who do provide a limitless pot are Man City and Chelsea. Most other clubs are working within a budget which it is difficult to accommodate ageing/declining stars on long term contracts. We had this same scenario with Owen and where is he now?

Yorkie Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Nolan and Barton both leaving in one summer would be near catastrophic for the dressing room, and i'd expect others to go too. I don't think either will, but if the club somehow conspires to having them both sold, it'd be one of the biggest jokes in the entire Ashley era. It's absolutely vital that we keep, at the very least, Nolan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 The more who leave or have an uncertain future, the more who will want to leave and we're only three or four key departures away from a squad which would sink like a stone. It's going to be a very long and difficult 18 months for all of us if things continue to pan out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
