The Ings situation was slightly different. Don’t know why people get sensitive about goodbye messages.

Sky always report fees including add ons.

We definitely need another full back I think.

I thought that about Tino last year, wouldn’t surprise me at all if he’s straight in.

But we didn’t, I’m going with the player we currently have and what we know he can do, not your make believe players that we’d supposedly sign which could be complete flops.

No at any price, we can’t get a player anywhere near as good as him, he’s a game changer for us, he’s the only reason we stayed up last season. Losses at Leeds and Brighton where he dug us out of holes would’ve put us bang in trouble.

No we don’t sell.

Oh please don’t take it as me defending Crook

Like you a couple of posts up?

It wasn’t, they wanted to freshen up the panel, he’s just being very bitter about it.

A disaster

Hopefully doesn’t mean we have to wait 8-9 months for him to play

Already looking forward to the weird booing of him when we play West Ham

He absolutely was dropped. Undeservedly, but he was certainly dropped.

Neco Williams linked now, don’t really see why we’d sign him or why he’d want to join, he surely needs guaranteed starts, which he won’t get with us.

His reaction to his sacking reminds me of David Brent at Wernham Hogg

Pretty much nail on head

Hopefully he’s decent, our recruitment of centre backs over the last 5-6 years has been questionable at best.

Enjoying the annual leaked fixtures which turn out to be wrong.

I think he would have to kick up a massive fuss, I don’t think Newcastle are that the level just yet for him to throw his toys out of the pram about going there, at a footballing level, not financial, in a year or so I think it’s a very different conversation as them troubling top 4/6 is going to come round very quickly.

Obviously it’s all hypothetical and of course I would, but with the current market and he’s got so much premier league experience, I just think he is so so difficult to replace. I can’t see him going this summer anyway, just can’t see anyone spending the money we would want to even entertain it.

Yep definitely. As for JWP, the people saying “take the money and rebuild” are talking nonsense, we already need several players to stay on a decent footing, if we sell him then we’re losing our only game changing player and someone who constantly digs us out of holes (Leeds and Brighton away for example) if he goes, we go down.
