midds Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 I don't think he'll move. He's got every right to see his contract out whilst not playing but I'd like to think that he'd be more interested in playing rather than sitting on a bench watching others play. We'll see Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 (edited) I hope he secures a move to somewhere he'd like to live with his young family, play some football for the remainder of his career and be happy. And I hope he starts a game before he goes and we get the Wor Miggy flags out for him and give him the send off we should do.

Pilko Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 Given the age he's at, the next contract he signs will likely be the last decent length one. So I wouldn't be surprised if he sits tight til the summer when there'll be more options and likely more lucrative signing on fees knocking about. He's been a very good contributor to the club, particularly in the 4th place season and in scoring our first CL goal of the era, so I hope he gets a couple of nice cameos before the season is out and goes on his way, as we do need to get someone better.

TRon Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 Not really arsed where he ends up once his contract runs out tbh. He's been a good servant and never let us down. He also got well paid for it and being at Newcastle has set him up for life, so we've done alright by him as well. Would have been nice if we'd got big wedge for him last summer, but not to be.

I sort of lost any sentimentality as he's stuck around and refused a lucrative move to Saudi. Yes I know he's well within his rights, but that's the point. He has rights to stick to his contract, we likewise don't owe him anything once he's run it down. Like I said, a good player for us down the years, one of my favourites for a while actually. I actually hope he goes to an MLS club this summer and we can get some sort of half decent fee, and he gets the move he wants. Best scenario all round.

Surely the lads worth more than that ? 31 next month and 18 months left on deal I think and no longer a first team starter I can see why the price has dropped. We don't know how solid the offers have been last 2 windows but maybe the club have accepted to get the player interested in a deal and his new club to afford wage demands then we take the hit to move him on. Frees up wages and assume his balance on the books is now minimal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobsonsWonderland Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) I agree and I know Saudi is not the answer for everyone but I do wonder in hindsight if a better option would have been to go there for a year like Maxi and then get the move he wanted.

Checko Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 It's hard to sell off unwanted players on premier league wages. Clubs have to allocate more of the overall fee to wages than the transfer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed- everyone’s trying to sell on old prices a few years ago but trying to buy to keep in line with PSR. It’s not sustainable and something needs to give eventually.
