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 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BennyBlanco Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 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.

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn’t want to lose Miggy a paltry offer won’t help to convince him. 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.

Yorkie Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 He's been so much more than just that purple patch, too. Was absolutely magnificent in Paris, for instance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallumG6 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Just now, TRon said: 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be here playing for us this season, and we'll not be signing an upgrade unless we are ready to accept about half of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamPS Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 His age and profile (doesn’t score many goals) mean he’s not going for 15m in the PL. he’d want decent money and a 4 year deal, it wouldn’t work financially for the buyer. To move in the PL you’d have to accept 5m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 The more I think about this the more I think the situation with our RW is nowhere near as bad as is being made out. Yes, we could do with an upgrade and I believe that an elite would transform us, however, it's not as if we're sticking Michael Bridges or Fabrice Pancrate out there, is it? Both Murphy and Miggy are serviceable (to an extent) and are likely to put in a handful of very good performances between the two of them. And if Madueke is the potential replacement this window then I'd much rather see Mitchell etc spend another few months working on a better deal for a better player.

Most people are letting their frustrations with Miggy personally cloud the fact that we are already one of the best attacking teams in the league. We’ve never had any problems scoring goals, it’s the other end of the pitch that was the issue last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
