Incognito Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Pardle said on one of those radio phone-ins that Carr and he had to both agree on their targets. He then mentioned that he wanted Lallana and Carr refused. However, we know Pardew is a compulsive yarn spinner but I never saw a rebuttal from Carr tbh.

NG32 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Pardew is a screaming liar nothing he says can be believed. I bet he has a tree with one apple on it in his garden, curles himself round at night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, Pardle probably wanted him at left back and Carr thought he would make a shit left back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Me We will get more in before the deadline most likely but I doubt it will be the kind of players we all hope, the fact is we aren't willing to offer anything other than piss take offers for quality players when sometimes you have to stump up and pay at least the going rate, you can't always get a bargain 100% of the time. I fully expect us to target, free transfers loans and players who are in the last 6 months of their contract. It matters not to Ashley how these players benefit us or fit into the team in areas we need, only that they are cheap or have potential sell on value. Our aims are merely to survive in the premier league so he feels he doesn't need to spend decent money. Such is our ambition. Moron Decent money isn't always money well spent. I would prefer to sign players like ba on a free and remy on loan than forking out 17 million on the likes of owen. So i dont care if we only sign free agents and loan signings, it is what they do on the pitch that matters not their price tag. Me You, as most Ashley sympathizers do, are completely missing the point here, I never advocated going out and spending 100 million on mercenaries just for the sake of it. I'm saying when there is an opportunity to sign a quality player for a reasonable price, or the going rate sometimes you have to pay that money to progress as a football club. If there are decent players available on the cheap or on loan then certainly go for that aswell, but there has to be a balance, the simple fact is sometimes you have to spend a bit to go forward. The business model of signing all loans and free transfers is never going to take the club forward. The fact is though Ashley is not interested in taking us forward as a club, as the club have already stated the only aim is premier league survival, which is why unfortunately this is what we're stuck with, and I honestly cannot see how any fan can be happy with this. Moron The value of the player means fuck all, if you think it does then you should give your head a shake. Me You still dont get it, if we could get players as highly rated as the likes of Siem De Jong, Remy Cabella, Clement Grenier etc.... for free or 2 million each then fair enough, but the fact is we CANT as these are quality players and sometimes in order to get these players, teams are required to pay the going rate or at least close to the going rate, we are not willing to do this, and this is one of the many reasons the club will not move forward under Ashley. I'll say it again, I dont want large sums spent for the sake of it or to say we've spent X or Y, its just sometimes its necessary to do so to bring in quality players. Understand? Moron Yes i completely agree, torres valued at 50 million, luiz valued at 50 million, carroll 35 million. They are all fantastic football players we should sign one and offer a high fee. *Facepalm* Just can't argue anymore with this clown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Ask him if he'd be happy if Ashley took out 20m dividends per year for the next 10 years or so, because that's exactly what will happen next considering he's not even allowing the club to spend the money it makes.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 The problem is for years on end our fan base has been told they are deluded to expect anything other than mediocrity and that little old Newcastle should be happy with just getting in the odd bargain basement signing here and there, so now the fans with the lower IQ's go out of their way to prove they are not deluded, they do this by advocating that we shouldn't be spending any sort of decent money on players. This sort of fan plays right into the hands of Ashley, and he probably knows it. Some just swallow media bullshit and some are just brain dead also.

Ask him about the "lost" revenue Sports Direct should be paying. In theory what they've had for free over the last seven years would have gon a long way to paying off what Ashley thinks we owe him.

Guest chopey Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I'm still convinced that Ashley has had a bet with his city mates that he can make more money than any other premier league club no matter what happens with the fans and pardew and the the board are totally complicit in is plan to the point that they get a bonus based on financial results rather than football ones Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Other guy jumped in at my defence but moron still thinks hes right. Non Moron Stop being so pig headed and aloof moron the guy has put forward a valid argument and replied to all the things you infer he is saying yet you still don't get it!! Double face palm Moron Not really, he was insisting you only get good players by spending big which is a load of rubbish Non Moron He never once said that! You said he said that! Read his post again. Moron Haha ashley sympathiser? Notice it is spelt with an 's' in the uk. And that is a totally crap insult hahaha did you think of that all by yourself? Moron Also the club have never said our ONLY aim is premiership survival, they have said the premier league is our focus which has been interpreted by morons to mean thats all we want Me We are not interested in the cups, and the club also stated that Europe isn't worth it for the small amount of money it brings to the club, therefore all that's left is premier league, so lets be fair we aren't gonna win the league, so the best we can hope for under Ashley is a top half finish, which is unlikely due to his unwillingness to improve the team and indeed poor manager, therefore the best we can hope for is mid-table mediocrity. But other teams are strengthening around us while we get worse, leaving out our most talented players and playing boring, negative football. The aim is very much premier league survival, so Ashley can keep raking in the premier league TV money in an attempt to recoup his money in the club. Moron Haha this is funny, the club have said europa league isn't worth it, not europe in general and lots of clubs say that about europa. Also last season we finished 10th so forgive me if i am wrong but i do believe 10th is top 10. How can you have a proper debate with someone who is this thick? Banging head against a wall here.

alexthegreat Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Slightly pointless comparison which doesn't really tell you anything you didn't know, and also doesn't take account of a number of things: Fees paid for current squad (minus Debuchy): Krul 0 Elliot 0.5 Santon £5.5m Coloccini £10m Williamson £1.5m Good £0.5m Taylor £1.3m Taylor 0 Streete 0 Mbwia £8.5m Haidera £2m Dummett £0 Colback £0 Tiote £3m Sissoko £1m Anita £6.2m Bigirimana £0.5m Ameobi £0 Vuckic £0 Obertan £3.5m BenArfa £5.5m Marveaux £0 Jonas £0? Ferguson £0 Perez £1.5m Gouffran £1.5m Cisse £10m Armstrong 0 Campbell 0 Approx £63m Fees paid for the squad who played in 96-97: Srnicek £0.35m Hislop £1.5m Barton £4m Howey 0 Peacock £2.7m Albert £2.6m Watson 0 Beresford £0.65m Elliott 0 Gillespie £1m Batty £3.75m Crawford 0 Lee £0.75m Clark 0 Ginola £2.5m Shearer £15m Ferdinand £6m Beardsley £1.5m Asprilla £7.5m Kitson £2.5m Approx £52m I do wonder if anyone ever told Ashley how much money Sir John Hall made out of NUFC with a totally different approach (for 5 years at least).
