sbnufc Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 'kin hell, not surprised there was a few bews when he came on (we'd do the same should a mackem every play for his country), but bewing his touches too? aye.. bit ridiculous scenes if he scores.. 'boooooo' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicane Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Did pretty well in his cameo. I'd take him ahead of Barkley I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Did pretty well in his cameo. I'd take him ahead of Barkley I think. Barkley just doesn't do anything. Townsend offers pace and width and can cross the ball. Useful to have on bench I would think. Hope he goes and stays with us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebellious Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Has to go, Barkley was poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I know I'm biased but I genuinely think he's our most natural and promising option on the flanks at present. Offers something different whether it be getting to the byline and getting crosses in, or cutting in and driving at players. Seems to have a good work ethic and is in good form. Would definitely take him atm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro111 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Looked quality when he came on. Still cant believe we have this chap. Hope he stays. Hope he goes to the Euro's too but would hate another Michael Owen situation like in '06. My interest in the World Cup ended right there. Was distraught at the time. Now seems funny, the little cunt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 “Obviously I’m grateful because I owe a lot to Newcastle for getting me playing Premier League football again and getting me back in the England squad. “So I owe it to them and hopefully I did Newcastle proud when I came on. Making the final 23 man Euros squad?: “I’m not too sure, you will have to ask the manager. “I got 10 to 15 minutes, I’ve done what I can, and if it’s not enough, then so be it – but if it is, then I’ll be delighted. “ The manager has named a 26 man squad and everyone has been fighting to make the cut. Everybody’s the same and wants to be there, luckily I have got to come on and stake my claim and see what happens.” Rafa Benitez staying: “It was fantastic news and obviously it is no secret how well the manager did towards the end of last season. “How well he got us playing and also how he got me playing well as well, getting me back to the form I’ve shown.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicane Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Realistically, what are chances of him staying vs. going, 20/80? West Ham seems a likely destination. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy84 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 More 50-50 imo. There is talk of a release clause but the player will have to agree to the move. Hopefully Rafa staying will have a massive sway in his decision Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I'll be amazed if he stays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnonel Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I think Benitez can convince anyone to stay, if he wants them to stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Given the new TV deal I think we will struggle to be competitive on wages. Other than that I'd expect him to stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I think he'll stay. There aren't any major tournaments on next year and he might take a year in the Championship and gamble on us getting promoted at the first go. Also, Woy has said he'd still be in his plans even if he's playing in the Championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 At the end of the Spurs game, him and Rafa looked to be on very good terms. I'd say there's a decent chance he stays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Usually it would be 90% likely he would leave, so even if it's 50/50 it's quite remarkable. Wouldn't be surprised if he left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I'd be much more surprised if he left tbh. I don't know him obviously, but he seems exactly the sort of player who'd stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Think there'll be plenty of them with the same outlook as us, Rafa in the Championship > some other dafty in the PL. If someone like West Ham or Everton were to come in for him, I could see him moving on, but cannot see him wanting to swap us for Palace or the likes.

themanupstairs Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I'd be much more surprised if he left tbh. I don't know him obviously, but he seems exactly the sort of player who'd stay. Yup. I know he's probably loaded with money and can afford it, but he's just made the move from London to the NE and I can't see him moving back down south so soon. His time with us has also been positive for him and the fans have reacted very well to his contribution. Plus Rafa's staying. If he's smart, he'll hang around, play an entire season and see if he can improve his game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro111 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Staying, 100% imo based off the way he was acting with Benitez after Spurs and his general overall character. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
