    Cool beans. So that's £320million in for three players. Just need to invest it wisely...

    Selling your best players isn't ideal...I'd be far happier selling the ****e for jumble sale fees and slowly building.

    Guimareas is going I think not the other two....

    If they replace him with Gallagher that's a step backwards ...it won't be easy to replace never mind improve on Guimaraes.

    You mistake my comment for a serious one. The latest story originates from the Daily Star. Whilst I accept well performing players will always attract interest from other clubs, that doen't equate to a guaranteed sale to the first bidder. When we do decide to sell, the price will very likely be good and we can then look to reinvest. It isn't ideal, nor is it the end of the world.

    Newcastle need to keep their best players.

    Few clubs manage to do so forever.

    The big clubs can sell the players they choose to... Newcastle don't have many. Howe has said the same which is that you go back to the start and they are not easy to replace for us. I agree with him.

    So do I. That's why I said it's not ideal.

    Exactly - you mistook my comment for a serious one. Add it to the back catalogue <laugh>

    So you're agreeing we shouldn't want to sell our best players after all that

    This is your fourth reply since I stated my opinion that selling players that are doing well for us wasn't ideal. The counterbalance is that whilst it usually becomes unavoidable once big enough clubs become interested enough in a player, at least we'll get good coin from doing so and are now under ownership where all of that will be reinvested.

    I was agreeing with your statement that nobody agrees with you. But then realised that can't work as I might create a Chaos Time Paradox, which could cause a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the chaos space time continuum, and destroy the entire munsonverse!

    That phrase is copyrighted so I would suggest you make some subtle changes.

    I am also unsure as to whether Chaos picked up on it.

    That’s good. I knew you would. I didn’t enjoy the 3rd one. But the 2nd one is in my top 3 films of all time.

    3rd was OK but not as good as the 1st two.. I used to love films until around 2000.. I don't like any of them at all now. They lack imagination, fun and characters of any note.
