    Barnes looks pretty **** tbh ...he's good at shooting and nothing else... needs a run of games to show something.

    No wonder Ashworth ****ed off

    We could've in January. We rejected £60m worth of offers on Almiron, Wilson and Trippier for some daft reason.

    I agree that this is the most likely reason. He shouldn't have been given a veto on those potential sales though, if the club was in such a perilous financial position.

    With Wilson at least you can understand the logic as we only have 2 strikers

    Trading and having to sell to stay under the limit are two different things though. Do we have to sell after June 30?. All clubs trade so he gave you no clues.
    What exactly are you claiming to be right about?

    “Right all along”? You mean the last week or so since every press outlet was saying it.

    You knew? Since when? No one wanted to believe it including you. If it is that bad I think the fans had every right to believe that the club wouldn’t be so naive and incompetent.

    If the situation was that bad Howe would/should have been told it’s happening.

    You're a ****in idiot.
    Barnes is a numbers man. End of. An opportunity came up to buy a player at not big money who gives us numbers and is one or those players that makes two top players in a given position.
    This is the aim of the club. 2 top quality players in every position.

    I’m ****ing astonished by how poorly this club is being run to be honest.

    All the pomp and promise from Staveley sounds as hollow as Ashley’s early lies. They know the ****ing rules, they have a simple guideline of what to do yet here we are with useless crap like ****ing Barnes having to sell major talent like Minteh. I genuinely thought we’d be better than this but what we’re staring at, offering out indispensable players like Gordon, is ****ing shambolic. I think Staveley needs to come out and explain why this is such a **** up. If the UCL shambles was to blame, ****ing get Howe gone. If this is all on Eales, get him out.

    Either way this is a really poor look for the club. Mismanagement, false promises, selling our best. All sounds very depressingly familiar.

    £40m? For a sub left winger? And £7m more than Minteh is going for?

    And we sold ASM for £20m. This club has been ****ing things up for 18 months and still doing it, but it’s all ok because it’s not Ashley…..

    "Selling our best"?
    "Major talent"?
    Minteh is untested in the PL.
    Stop over dramatising. <diva><laugh>

    Sad when 2 supposed fans seem to rejoice when ‘their’ Club apparently is selling a young potential star just to prove they said what everybody suspected anyway.

    Were Newcastle close to psr limits? Only Chaos and GG knew what everybody else knew. Comical really.
