maze Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Still, both Tottenham (many) and Villa (Bent, Makoun) have been able to replace those who have left. Everton however is a special case, and struggle. But they still have Baines (which many compare to Enrique), that Afro-dude Fellaini (?), Arteta and Tim Cahill, Jack Rodwell and Jagielka. But I don't see why Newcastle can't do they same as Villa and Tottenham, if Ashley is not a stingy and unambitious chairman (as some of you argue)?

Stu Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 So, according to rumours, another one of our key players are looking for new challenges. Brilliant. First Carroll, then (maybe) Enrique. Really goes to show you Ashley's ambitions. Yey! And for me, contributes to my growing decision as to whether supporting this team, in the long run, does any good at all for me as a supporter. If selling our best players all the time is our (new) policy, then I find it hard to see Newcastle challenging and establishing as a top team in Europe. because we know you're not seriously saying that you support Newcastle based upon their success Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may well be true, but as I've said before (in other threads), Ashley is a poor business man (in terms of financial resources), and should not own and run an EPL-side. As far as I'm concerned he doesn't have the financial muscles needed to improve the club or team beyond the current state. I think he just stays around to try squeeze as much money as he can out of the club, cause he knows that he has lost on his investment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Villa and Spurs had both been run notoroiusly tightly in the past and are benefitting now from that frugality. We on the otherhand had an terminally underperforming squad and very little manouverability for wages. Anyway don't want to de rail this thread, I'm oooot.

Guest Slippery Sam Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 "..if Ashley hadn't been so stingy with his billions" He's only a billionaire on paper. Oh, so you want him to sell everything he owns so he can spend it all on Newcastle United? I should have realised. Maybe he isn't aware of your thinking? If you write him I'm sure he'll think it a good idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Alan Pardew would be reluctant to lose the services of the left-back but would let him leave if all the proceeds from the sale were added to the £35m received for Andy Carroll to reinvest in the team.

kingxlnc Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I think as long as they get some EARLY business done - even tying up pre-contracts for the Marveaux type deals it would intrigue him and make him stay for a bit longer through the summer... if we get to early August and at least 2 BIG signings have not been made, that's when I think he will slap in transfer request. Ball is still in our court to an extent... show him our hand, both in terms of an excellent contract offer, and also ambitious signings. This is one make or break summer for us - we will truly know which way we are heading towards after this summer. Crucial. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
