Robster Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Right decision not to play him as long as he won't sign the deal. Over the years, we've all heard players say in interviews that they signed for [insert club] because the manager really made them feel wanted. Dropping him from the squad isn't going to make Matty feel like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 No surprise he doesn't want to sign a new contract. Not even getting a chance ahead of Schar in midfield since we came back. Surely he's gone now though, which is a shame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Right decision not to play him as long as he won't sign the deal. Understand the frustration on his part as well. Be interesting to see where he ends up. He needs regular football and we can't offer that atm. He's shown more than his brother and Bentaleb this season, he should have played a lot more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see where he ends up. He needs regular football and we can't offer that atm. That is a disgraceful attitude, even if it's widely held. He's currently contracted - that should mean he's available for selection, not whether or not he might play in the future. I suggested in the pre-match thread that he's been frozen out so badly that it makes me wonder if there's an appearance based clause in his contract. But when our own fans are saying "Bruce is right to not play him because he won't be pressured into signing a new contract"... fuck me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I thought Bruce was a player's manager, his local roots seem to have counted for fuck all when it comes to keeping young Newcastle lads at the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Butcher Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 That's completely different to it being the right decision though. Fair enough but if I were the owner or manager I wouldn't play him unless he committed himself to the club. That being said it's a lose-lose situation for both the club and the player and it should never have come to this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Why would you commit yourself to a club and under a manager who isn't playing you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do that to a player with influence in the squad and you're well on the way to losing the dressing room. You can't manage a squad in a black and white way like that.

Disco Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Makes you wonder if they only extended his deal for the end of the season to take the piss out of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Interesting thing is his exit route must be in doubt if it was Watford via Udinese. Makes even more sense if it means a season being played in the Championship, playing time wise anyhoo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

relámpago blanco Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 He must have already signed for someone else as none of this makes any sense. He hasn't played or put in a good performance for a while. I can only imagine Sean is on a lot of money and he wanted parity but if I wanted one of the 2 it would be Matty over the long term.
