KaKa Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Now it's official, and after seeing that picture, I actually feel really sorry for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 As Beren says, applied himself while he was here. No hard feelings personally. He will probably regret it when he realises how big change it is going from Benitez to Pardew, but that is his problem, not ours. He played well for us, but he is very replaceable if we get straight back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I can understand him leaving but Palace seems an awful choice. Ah well. May well have been happy to get the cash plus Andros's wages off the books and invest that money on other players. We will probably end up stronger for this. I guess we've got Ritchie and Gayle for Townsend. We're stronger for that. As its stands, yeah. But I'm sure Sissoko will be off soon. It's nice that we are actually strengthening, before anyone leaves, though. More than confident that we will reinvest whatever we get from the sale of Sissoko plus the freed wages I would hope so. But didn't Gayle cost around £9m-£10m? Ritchie is going to cost £12m, allegedly. Plus we signed Sels for £4.5m. We've only recouped £13m so far. I haven't factored in wages, as we don't know the details. So there is a shortfall to be made up, there. I don't think we'll be reinvesting all the fees we get back. But who knows? I still think to some degree, it will be one in, one out, and we'll be getting like for like replacements. It's just we're being proactive for once and not waiting until they've gone and then panicking. The likes of Janmaat, Sissoko and Wijnaldum will probably be leaving as well and we'll get good money for them if that happens. Krul too, although not sure how much he'll fetch with only a year left on his contract. I don't think we'll be out of pocket. Exactly. I'm glad we're making moves already and signing quality players. But I don't think we'll be reinvesting too much of the money we recoup from player sales. Maybe 60%, something like that? Last time we went down, I'm sure we got rid of a load of the expensive, overpaid players. But we didn't really buy anyone of note or spend any money. It's good to see that is changing. Ashley must be desperate to get back on the premier league gravy train. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Hopefully it was just a purple patch he had here, usually don't begrudge a player a move up but not to fucking Pardew. Thick as fuck unless he's all about dat sweet sweet cash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 At least we found out he was a mercenary c*** early on and got our money back. No harm done, now we can focus on bringing players here who understand what this football club is about and want to be part of something great. Is this serious? LOL what an awful post. It's from my perspective as a Newcastle fan, obviously being a Palace fan yourself you may view differently. You can only understand things from your own perspective? He's a mercenary cunt because he's joined a fairly established PL club? Out of all our signings in recent years few seem to genuinely work as hard and understand what this club is about then Townsend. I believe he joined us in the first place as he felt we should be able to stay up, he could get back into the England squad and we would be a fantastic club for him going forward. We've been relegated. He's in the prime of his career. He did his best to keep us here. He deserves to play in the PL this season. Comments like yours feed into this notion that football fans but especially Newcastle fans are fickle. If a good player leaves to play at a higher level or for a bigger club = mercenary cunt. Grow up mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Aye we bought him, used him, stuck a higher price tag around his neck, sold him and then slapped him on the arse and told him we enjoyed his company but fuck off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Happy with the contribution he made, one of the players who stood up in the end when others lost their heart. Had he not said a word I don't think many would be bothered if he left, however, because of what he and his father has been saying it feels like a kick in the teeth, especially as it is Palace. They seem to have a bit of cash so Pardew may have been able to sell him a vision Like someone has said with Ritchie and Gayle in place of him we should be stronger for it?

Guest Bert Shaft Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 50 games at Tottenham in 7 years, next best is 22 at Leyton , then 15 games for Birmingham. Seems like the bloke has an incredibly itchy arse or a severe dose of wanderlust. What next, 14 games for Palace after playing 2nd fiddle to Bolasie and Zaha then a loan move to Stevenage. Serve the cunt right if it turns out that way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ElCid Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 He has gone to a nothing club so be it and no doubt he will get it in the neck off the crowd when he returns at some point and deservedly so after his/his fathers comments from when the season had ended. At least Sissoko and Gini have had the balls to say they wanted to leave. Love his quote mind "Hopefully he can take my game to another level and build on the great start to the season they had last year" concerning Pardew - what f***ing planet is he on if he thinks that. Only criticism I have is why the f*** we didn't tell him to f*** off when he insisted on that contract clause although Charnley is now admitting that was an error.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 You'd think we'd have stopped agreeing to these stupid release clauses after Demba Ba. It was an essential part of convincing people to sign for us I would think. Do well for a while, we'll sell you to someone else. It should stop now under Rafa.

Kanj Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Could have been a legend for us. Dominated that league, learned from Rafa and been one of the main men in a Rafa team. Good luck to him, I hope he achieves nothing at Palace as long as his manager is Alan "one day" Pardew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 https://www.instagram.com/p/BHUG_OJgCXz/?taken-by=officialtownsend quote in case people cant get on it I’d like to put on record my sincerest thanks to the manager, board and fans of Newcastle United for the warmth and support they have shown me since I joined in January. Please believe me when I say that this has been an incredibly difficult decision and one I have not taken lightly. I signed for Newcastle fully aware of the task at hand and it was my absolute desire to keep the club in the Premier League. I hope the fans could see that from day one I gave everything I possibly could during the season and never once gave up on the fight for survival. That’s why it was so hard when despite those efforts we fell short. The future for Newcastle is very bright, with some great young players and an outstanding Manager who I have the utmost respect for. However, after talking at length with the Manager and Managing Director I have made the decision to leave the club based purely on footballing reasons, with my wish to remain in the Premier League. I remain humbled by the support of the fans during my time at Newcastle and wish everyone associated with the club success for the future. The fans deserve a winning team and I fully expect to see the club promoted back to the Premier League at the first attempt. Thank You. Good on him for that, more than most will do/say when they fuck off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
