LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/cardiff-city-launch-bid-newcastle-9550432 By Lee Ryder Sammy Ameobi's future will be decided in the next few days but Cardiff boss Russell Slade eager to offer the winger a chance in the Championship Sammy Ameobi is understood to be the subject of a bid from Cardiff City. The soon-to-be out-of-contract winger is expected to return to Newcastle for the start of pre-season training on Wednesday despite not penning a new deal. No move away from Newcastle can be agreed unless interested clubs cough up compensation for the Toon player after he worked his way through the ranks at United. Ameobi has been mulling over signing a new deal and even if he does agree a contract the Bluebirds could then move for the player on loan. West Brom, Crystal Palace, Wolves and Everton are on the list of English clubs thought to be interested in the 23-year-old. But none of them have followed up earlier summer interest and a move to Real Sociedad to play under David Moyes also looks to have fallen through.

Disco Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Might just be being thick but why would he be reporting for pre-season training if he's no longer contracted to the club? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Might just be being thick but why would he be reporting for pre-season training if he's no longer contracted to the club? In Sammy's shoes, I'd be looking to impress the new regime in pre-season training, and either get a better contract, or receive sufficient encouragement about my prospects that I'd sign the existing one. I think this lad has got something, and who knows, maybe our new Scottish maestro will be able to bring out the best in him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how can we loan him to Cardiff if he is unattached? I think that it would be that we are due compensation even if he walks away due to something in the laws and I suspect that is the only reason why he was offered a new deal to give the illusion we still want him thus forcing it higher when the deal must've been fairly shite because he hasn't signed despite giving the illusion of being fairly happy being a bit part player and stopping in Newcastle.

SEMTEX Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Exactly. Not sure what happens if he just doesn't want to stay at NUFC. How long until someone can sign him gratis? Seems kind of ridiculous that he's not able to do as he wishes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems kind of ridiculous that he's not able to do as he wishes. Its not as if he has to turn up for training or have any involvement with NUFC anymore. He just has to go out and find a new club and once a tribunal sorts out compensation he can play poorly for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an out of contract worker who cannot work for someone else unless they pay a fee. He is neither earning, nor capable of earning elsewhere. He's basically forced to re-sign for us, on a no doubt ridiculously low ball contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 He can go and work in ASDA if he wants. Seriously I doubt the fee will be high and theirs a reason for it after all, to stop clubs losing the youngsters they've trained for years for nowt. If he cant find a club prepared to pay a hundred grand or so for him then perhaps he needs to look at a different career? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Ridiculously underrated going by the last few posts. You must all be very confident that Tauvin or someone of his ilk is set to join or look forward to another season of Obertan and Gouffran providing our strikeforce with clear cut chances.

Troll Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Why don't clubs offer him a permanent deal over a loan? I can't see the point in keeping him if he isn't going to play given his age. He isn't going to get much better now. Neither can they. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 The only possible reason to keep him is if we wanted to play in Europe and he was one of the 4 club grown players you need to register. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously not going to happen in this case but it would be unfair if you spent ten years developing a player and then he just let his contract wind down and a big club comes in and the smaller club gets nothing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 He was arguably our "best" winger last season. Unless we get at least one first team winger in, two if Cabella leaves or we don't trust Aarons to stay fit, we would be mad to let him leave imo. He's not of the required quality for where I want NUFC to be, but that goes for a lot of our players sadly. I would be all for an upgrade, but will we get one whilst we have Obertan and Gouffran on the books? I doubt it very much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
