Cf Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 If you were looking into the future this time last year this would be a ludicrous question but who is spending £80m on him at this point? He's not looked match fit all season, suffered a broken leg, and now is out with a long standing groin issue. That's a massive amount of money in terms of fee for the risk involved and that's not even getting into his wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then, whilst it would probably make sense from a purely footballing perspective, the damage HE caused was so substantial, I don’t think it would ultimately be a good idea.

There’s no coming back from the way he carried on. Similarly, his wage profile is way out of our reach now and his fitness doesn’t justify resigning him.

TBG Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 He'll go out on loan to Italy, have a somewhat decent season. Get a move to Man Utd or Chelsea. Have a bang average season. Get sent out loan back to Italy. Sign permanently for Inter Milan. Do nothing for two seasons and then end up at Villa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it’s obviously completely unrealistic, but tbf to @Dokko I’m sure he wasn’t suggesting that it was, more just a hypothetical discussion point. I agree the first line of your post would probably be the position of the majority of the fanbase anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could crawl over vinegar soaked broken glass all the way back from Merseyside whilst whipping himself with a knotted flail and I still wouldn’t want the cunt anywhere near Tyneside. He hobbled this season before it started and the mess he instigated resulted in signings that could hamper us for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snap your hands off all day for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidg Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Every time I feel a strong Howe Out twinge, and it's happened a lot, I think of this cunt and I hope we give Eddie the summer. Absolutely delighted that his groin has more attachment issues than a neglected rehomed pet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And in this scenario Wissa goes to Saudi for the same price) After the way he treated Howe, his team mates, the fans and disrespected the club in general, there’s not a fucking chance. He is 27 in September which should be his golden years. Hopefully his struggles continue and that groin injury continues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way he treated us still leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't appreciate what he had here. Also injury prone players don't get less problems as they get older. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cf Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I suppose the question is more interesting if you exclude the unpleasantness. Just from a footballing point of view is he worth £50m + his wages + injury record? I think the answer is no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
