I am more optimistic. HBA is a player that needs love,  and he didn't get it throughout his career until he joined us. Unless it is Real Madrid  l, he won't activity ask for a transfer.  What Ashley will do is another question though.

 

Agree.

Truth will start to come sooner rather than later as next summer he has one year left on his deal and imagine we'd have to accept the first derisory bid we receive for him like OL should've done with Gomis.

"Maybe if we feel very good, we can finish between fourth and first. Why not? Why can we not say we could be champions?

 

"Anything is possible. We can challenge for it. We have good players, a good stadium and great supporters. I believe we can do what I say."

 

"It’s that I want the club to be ambitious, that in our heads, we want to get a title. This is one of the teams that has helped me to take responsibility. This club has helped me to impose myself.

 

Newcastle is perfect. This is a good compromise. This is not Manchester United nor is it a small team. It really is a club that has a history in England and is important in the eyes of everyone, but it is not in the Big Four. There is still a small margin and I am learning a lot by being here.

 

It really has helped me to prepare myself for if one day, if I have to be in the Big European Six or if Newcastle becomes much more at the forefront of football, I’m ready. This is an interim period, a step”.

 

“I will speak to the [Newcastle] president and the coach at the end of the season. If there is no ambition at Newcastle, maybe I will leave."

 

A few of his quotes from the last year.

If anyone's got Total Sport on, there's a little feature with Marveaux at some point talking about HBA.

 

Does he sound jalous ?  ;D

Not what i mean.... playing like a kid in school yard when you are a professional is not a good thing.

 

Professional's are supposed to have things like decision making and tactical discipline, it is a weakness of Hatem tbh that he's not a very mature footballer.

 

Don't get me wrong he's great but the fact he plays like a kid in a playground is one of the reasons he's so frustrating and joyful in equal measure and why he plays for us and not a CL club.

He's found his level to be fair.

I know what you mean, but his decision making isn't all that awful and I think he's worked hard on his tactical discipline. With an extended run free of injury I still maintain he is an upgrade on Nasri who is playing for an apparently 'top' team but has a worse attitude and some poorer decision making and less ability imo.

 

In terms of maturity? Him dragging Shola away from a morecambe player says everything about who is mature in our squad
