Teasy Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 You only had myself to blame. I added him to the Newcastle team on FIFA against my better judgement. Never should have done it. I blame you, I wanted to add him but wouldn't until it was confirmed, the power of FIFA is all encompassing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Shocking this, shocking. I could understand it if it was Spurs, or one of the German clubs that came in for him at the last minute but QPR. Barton even said to him that Newcastle is the better club for him as well, no doubt our French lads and his friends have been telling him to come here as well but he's gone to QPR, the club who despite spending loads of money on players they are all shit.

dinotheprehistoricgeordie Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 This is gutting but I don't see what we as a club could have done, regarding this specific transfer. There was always going to be as much interest as possible whipped up by his agent, so no chance of doing the deal discreetly. We could match QPR's wages (if the reported wages are correct) but he's not worth it, and it would piss off the rest of the pros at the cliub. Shit situation for us, we can only hope QPR go down (and we stay up) so we can giggle at the cunts as they do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 For all the things people say about this manager and that manager, there surely can't be a slimier, more corrupt, abhorrent, con man out there than Redknapp? He's painted as this loveable rogue through longevity, connections and his nationality. Anyone new to the game or foreign would be fucking lambasted by the media for pulling the shit he does.
