Article: If we decide to get rid of any more of our players | Football, Newcastle

Should we ask for money and a player?

There's no point in getting a load of cash for players now when -

1. We should have the cash to buy replacements, but it seems to have disappeared, most likely to Ashley's pie fund. Wages/Fees/Yellow bibs and cones, what ever the excuse, there should be something there. It doesn't matter, it's not getting put back in the club. Can't be arsed to argue about it now, but the fact is, what ever we get for the player in cash isn't going to be used for replacements as demonstrated this summer.

2. We need to be getting a player in for every player we get rid of, if the player we're selling is worth something. Smith/Perch it doesn't matter, but if we were to get rid of Tiote for example, instead of asking for 25m, as for 10m plus a quality player in a position that we need?

E.G. If Chelski wanted Tiote, ask for 5m plus Sturridge? I'd rather we didn't sell Tiote at all, but if it does happen... do you agree?

 

Ashley is only interested in money not players . We don't have any say and we don't count

 

Should have got Insua as part of the Enrique deal.

 

I still don't believe this about Ashley. I genuinely think he wants to get rid of the debt and move forward from there. He just lost £200m on his shares overnight, so think he might have a lot to think about aswell as our football club. Give it time mate.

 

Pass. I'd rather have the money and spend it on someone better from Carrs magic database. I know 'we don't see the money from player sales' but I'd be stunned if we didn't sign a left back.

 

Jono you are a complete moron the squad is pretty robust in every area except defence

Its good that we are getting rid of loven and xisco if the rumours are true, we still need to get rid of alan smith.

We only need a striker and a defender.

People need games at the end of the day, even ryan taylor needs the odd game and he will probably score an amazing free kick when he does eventually play.

Its good we have shipped out some players, the squad quality is higher for it, the only bad sale this summer has been jose enrique and there was nothing the club could do really. I think he wanted a fresh challenge and new scenery more than the extra money.
