ilikenewcastle Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Betting suspended on this c*** going to west ham. The betting was suspended on him coming here not so long ago. I think we should probably forget about him though, it was foolish of us to think we could sign an established Premier League player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Bailey Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Far from convinced on him anyway tbh. Or Ings either in all honesty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 let's be honest Austin would be mad to come here over West Ham under the regime we have. In fact any half decent player would be mad to choose us over any other PL club, other than possibly Sunderland and only because if they do come to the NE they may as well come to us over them. Sorry state of affairs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deckard 13 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Aye, the former brick layer from down south is going to choose our shit show of a club over other because we're going to give him a shirt with a certain number on it. I assume if he joins West Ham its because they play "The West Ham Way" as well. It means nothing to anyone outside of Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 i'm not from the region or the UK for that matter but numbers in sports are fucking significant man people retire shirt numbers across the world to pay respects to the legends who wore them. fucking hell what a dumb post.

Klaus Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Numbers really aren't that important like, I doubt many footballers really give a shit what number they wear as long as they get paid at the end of the month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Austin wouldn't give any more of a shit about the #9 than Carroll did. Aye there's a sentimental value in shirt numbers to fans and certain players, but as if any player's going to base their decision on where to play based on the number on their back.

Klaus Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 There was a big article in the Chronicle with Carroll saying he wanted to be the next alan shearer etc. Sold to Liverpool the next day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but it's a bit different for our sports isn't it? In the NFL, MLB, etc. the player makes the number rather than the other way around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Numbers really aren't that important like, I doubt many footballers really give a s*** what number they wear as long as they get paid at the end of the month. I think a lot of them care about it tbf. Number usually signifies worth. #1, #9, #10 are three numbers that are highly sought after by players in the correct positions.

Ketsbaia Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Has it been mentioned that the Telegraph thinks that West Ham aren't in for Austin? It was hidden away in another rumour, so it might be bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 QPR might be throwing a bunch of other club's names into the equation to try and get more money the morons that they are. No one is paying that £15 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 If no one else comes in for Austin, you would hope that would pave the way for us. Wish this summer would be over already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deckard 13 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 i'm not from the region or the UK for that matter but numbers in sports are f***ing significant man people retire shirt numbers across the world to pay respects to the legends who wore them. f***ing hell what a dumb post. Of course there is a legacy to the shirt but its historical significance means nothing to anyone outside of the club it self and yet I've read a couple of times in the press the idea that if we give him "the number 9" it would sway his decision in some way. I'm sure he'd rather an extra 5 grand a week and to play in number 34 given the choice. The whole idea of retiring shirts is a nonsense as well but that's another discussion all together.

I dunno about that. MLB has retired a single number across the league (individual teams have retired their own in addition), the #42 of Jackie Robinson. It's a way of acknowledging achievements that go above and beyond in service of the game (and far more in Roninson's case), that no one will ever be fit to wear *this* number again because of whom it implicitly represents.
