Kanj Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Some overly sensitive chaps to players desiring to go play CL football or play for an elite european club who doesn't have Mike Ashley as owner. We aren't talking about mid 90's players banging on the door to play for Keegan and SJH and with Shearer and co. This is modern football folks.

Dinho lad Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I still don't believe in the Cabaye "refusal to play" like. Obviously he didn't play that game, but I think it was down to the board and manager just as much as Cabaye, as they were certainly doing their damn best to get him sold for a big sum. what about for Shay Given?

Can't quite remember, but didn't happen just after us getting stuffed 6-0 at home to Liverpool and it was clear as day that after that game he just thought 'fuck it, I've had enough of this bullshit now'? Don't really see how that is relevant here though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 6-1 wasn't it? David fucking Edgar for us. I don't hold any bad feeling towards Given. He was most likely lied to and forced out like the rest of them. Players with ambition don't stay at this NUFC for too long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Thought it was 5-1 but it could have easily been 10+. I was at the game and remember Given getting booked for kicking the ball away out of his hands in frustration when the whistle had been blown at one point. This followed around 6 or 7 transfer windows when he'd been in the papers saying we needed to buy more players. His motives were beyond question, the timing wasn't great though.

Disco Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 was rare to see him so frustrated like that, he'd probably been thinking about for an age but I think that NUFC performance pretty much made his mind up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Yeah timing was awful, like. But I cant hold any grudges against him - his shot blocking and saves he made for us were world class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Even as an NUFC fan if I was a professional I wouldn't want to waste a minute of my career at Ashley's Newcastle United. Given was 32 and offered the chance to leave the cesspit to win trophies. Fair play to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you replace Ashley with say John Henry, or Everton/Swansea/Southampton's ownership, then I'd say - f*** it, Moussa quiet up, build your career here and TAKE us forward to the next level. I'd have said the same to Cabaye, Loic Remy etc....in today's world. Ownership matches ambition of the players, different conversation, when the ownership couldn't give a f***, no issues with the player walking. Moussa, Cabaye etc. never have insulted as the supporters by the way. Same for Enrique etc - the fans are always praised and respected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

soyt Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Arsenal still interested? He does not offer anything and should be dropped. What is it he can actually do these days? Did not do a single thing right in that game. He looks like a sculpture and that is basically it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
