Consortium of one Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I'd say offering 3M is Fat Sam taking a flyer. I'd bet he'd be unwilling to pay a penny more because he just can't afford it. Would anyone else offer 5-6M for Nolan? I doubt it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_Taylor Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 We aren't in a position to let him go atm, if anything this 'offer' should improve the contract offer we put in. it wont like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewJerseyMag Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Lets face it, who the heck knows what Lambsarse is going to do. The guy is a total p**ck and always will be. Nolan scored 12 goals last year. Without him we would have been down, simple as. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Selling our captain for 3 or even 5m will be a joke, Sunderland just sold Jordan Henderson for 20m ffs, also people have to put in mind that Nolan is the player everyone in the squad look up off the field, he seems like a geniunely nice guy that everyone respects, we simply can't afford to lose him unless its for crazy money.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 The only way I would be even remotely satisfied with selling Nolan is if we has already signed enough quality players to suggest a total change in the style/quality of out play. Anyway, no indication he's actually going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Nolan will be here next season imo FWIW. Why on earth at it's this stage is beyond me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 nobody would take 3m huh? I think we might get £4m but I'd be happy enough if we took £3m rather than keep him here. Nolan's been a good pro for us apart from being too fat and probably liking a pint too much, but the Championship or small town premier club is where he belongs.

Yorkie Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 A firm, immediate rejection is the best and only thing we could have done, so i'm glad that's what's happened. Hopefully this makes some sort of statement towards, at the very least, the player himself - let alone other members of the squad. We won't just sell our important players for the first reasonable bid that comes forward. I wouldn't say £3m was a million miles off his true valuation as a footballer, but it would be a bit of a snip considering what he'd give to West Ham in that division. Given his importance to the club and the job he's done for us over the last two-and-a-half years, i'd want double that at a bare minimum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Nolan shouldn't be going anywhere next season. His influence and motivational skills are clear to see by the performances without him last season. Further more we can't get rid of so many players without upsetting the continuity in the squad. If we have a starting 11 comprised of 11 new players it will take them ages to settle if they even do at all. I know he has his limitations but we as a club are in nowhere near a good enough position to get rid of him now. Get rid of the shit like Smith, Campbell, Perch, Lovenkrands and Routledge but that should be it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Nolan won't go to West Ham. The quoted price will attract bids from other clubs if he was available. Similarly Parker won't come back here as according to Allardyce when he sold him, Parker wanted to leave as he had an issue with the fans. Anyone remember him and Carr abusing the Leazes End?

He might be popular at the club but sometimes having too much influence can work against you. If he hasn't got the contract he wants that will make him an unhappy bunny and whether those higher up will want to keep him around rather than get a fee and get him off the wage book ,I have real doubts about that.

Yorkie Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I've got faith that he and the club will find a compromise to this bizarre contract situation. He might get something that's arguably a bit more than he 'deserves', but i think he's one that the club (particularly Pardew) would bend over backwards to keep.
