Favourite ever Miggy moment when he put his right boot up to be polished instead of his left, the absolute tool. Joelinton's gesture as if to say, "not that one man, your left".

On the upside the MLS make up the rules and change them whenever they want. Being a former MLS legend at Atlanta and still being somewhat in his prime, it wouldn't surprise me to see the MLS help maken it happen. Fingers crossed.

Apparently miles apart on valuation so very unlikely this happens 

[Sibierski]

So were Man Utd with Ashworth, and that moved quick when we blinked. Think if club wants rid, and there’s someone genuinely interested, a deal will be made.

 

Not like the value is going to be there next summer.

I think much will depend on how much Eddie rates him. If he doesn’t want to lose Miggy a paltry offer won’t help to convince him.

That and he will be a bit nervous about not getting a replacement in that he wants. Always best to buy the successor before selling the predecessor.

I guess it just depends how far apart they are. Also if the Madueke deal is very doable they may decide to cut their losses as you say.

Some of the shit he’s had on twitter is absolutely ridiculous. You’d think he was one of the worst players to ever pull on the shirt! Was he frustrating to watch? Absolutely. Did he always put a shift in? Most definitely. Ya can’t fault his attitude - always turned up with a smile and did his best. His purple patch of two years ago was quite something too. I wish him well if he’s going - we just need more consistency and quality in that final third now.

Anyone giving him non-stop shit is a fucking loser of the highest order

I don't have bad wishes on him personally and never have, if anything I supported him when he used to get called worse than shit back in the days before Howe. But when we lose promising players because we had to sell someone for PSR reasons, and we end up losing a lot of money because players want to sit on their contracts, I do feel miffed. That's nothing personal, just as he wants the best for himself and his family, I want the best for Newcastle United. Him staying wasn't it.

Depends if getting him off the books releases enough money to get a replacement. The rumour is Madueke at the moment, but I can't see any club outside of Saudi giving us any sort of sizeable transfer fee, so might be dead in the water already.

Totally agree.

 

That purple patch was a huge contributing factor to us getting top 4.

 

[Yorkie]

He's been so much more than just that purple patch, too. Was absolutely magnificent in Paris, for instance.

If I had to guess which of our players would want to live in a dessert it'd be Bruno the Kinder Beuno guzzler aka Sweet Tooth Guimaraes

They were never likely to bid enough. 

[CallumG6]

Didn't Charlotte FC just sign Tim Ream? I can see this going through with it being a massive coup for them. A USMNT legend returning back to the States, and a former MLS star would be top business for them.

No one will outside of Saudi.

He'd be worth 15m to someone like Leicester or Everton or even Palace. His wages would be top end for them but it would be doable.

And given he seems to have made it pretty clear he has no intention of going there I'd say there's a strong chance he is in the squad next season.

Nah. They need quality in the final third.

[sushimonster85]

I love the lad, he's a proper grafter, but do think the only teams in the PL he likely improves are the three promoted sides.
