Not so confident of us keeping the likes of Enrique or Tiote after today.

 

We have proved today if a club wants the player enough and are willing to pay the money, we are happy to sell.

 

No club in English football history has rejected an offer this big.

Yep. Don't get used to seeing any of the players registered to Newcastle United whilst this prick is the owner.

didnt Liverpool reject Chelsea's £40 Mill offer for Torres a few days ago?

Carroll leaving won't have any impact on Enrique or Tiote leaving. What will have an impact on them leaving is if a team comes in with stupid money and offer them a better wage then we reject it and they request a transfer.

 

with our wage ceiling it is highly likely that will happen

How do you know? Bids for players who are truly not for sale never make the press... unless you think there's never been a single bid from anywhere gone in for Scholes, Giggs, Carragher, Terry etc. No smoke without fire, NUFC have perpetuated this.

The players you list have been at the best two clubs in the country, and I doubt anyone is that fussed about Carragher.

 

Ronaldo was at the best club in the country, and his Real Madrid move ran in the papers for nearly two years. I don't see your point? You don't think any European clubs ever enquired about Paul Scholes?

 

If you're told "Not for sale at any price, and if we hear anything in the papers, we'll go straight to FIFA" then that is the end of the matter. We haven't done that. Only club I've ever seen after Paul Scholes was when the thickos down the road thought they could get him.

Honestly can't see Enrique signing a new deal now.

 

Why not?

 

I can. It's about his life and his contract. He's professional.

Mediterranean players will always have an affection for clubs like Real Madrid & Barcelona, so Ronaldo was always going to go there. And Scholes was a Man Utd fan playing for the best team in the land.

The only chance of keeping our best players is if we use the Carroll money to buy in quality players and damn quickly. Otherwise the other blue chip players are going to find the lure of an ambitious club paying big money too big a temptation. If a geordie lad can have his head turned by £££ signs what makes anyone think Enrique or Tiote will turn down the inevitable big money offer when it comes/

It makes no difference whether Enrique signs a new contract or not.  All it means is that they will get a bigger transfer fee for him when they sell him in the Summer.

 

Infact, I wonder who the media will campaign to move on to a bigger club now: Jose or Tiote?

if we get bids of 20mill for tiote and 18mill for jose then they'll be gone.

 

 

all players are up for sale all the time and sometimes bids come in that you can't turn down.

If crazy bids come in then we'll sell, but most clubs would. It's just a demonstration of the fact that success in the PL is now impossible unless you're prepared to spend way beyond your means.

 

I disagree, Ian.

 

I think it demonstrates success is impossible if you're not willing to hang on to your gems which didn't cost too much.

 

If you're (MA) going to follow the Arsenal plan then it has to be to the end. Not dumping the gems when an offer comes in. But we don't know that offers have already been refused on other players.

 

Ashley has starting to make me sit up and take notice (of his plan) when our cheaper purchases were showing how well they've been scouted and are, in fact, pretty awesome value for money.

 

The flaw will be if they start to be shipped out. I'm not including AC in that because I think the money was far too much to refuse.

 

There's some method in his madness.

 

Yeah I totally agree with all that, I suppose I meant instant, short-term success.

 

I don't think the general plan is to sell players at all, I just think the Carroll offer was too good to refuse, bearing in mind that he wanted another new contract to stay. And if another similar insane bid comes in we've shown we're prepared to sell players now.

 

But I agree with Ashley's general transfer and wages policy, it's one of the things he's improved over the previous regime.
