Jol want's Nolan...

[Heavy Metal Toon]

it isnt a risk ? tiote and barton are both better CMs , Im sure we will bring in some ST of some quality better than what we have (Goala Ameobi -_-)
HBA is better off the ST than Nolan as we know hes got class
Cabaye looks to be a talent aswel
the only one who is a risk is Cabaye mate

not forgetting Gosling to come back aswel

and when you think Cabaye and Tiote cost less than £6m
i wouldnt mind another £6million at Mr.Carr and co <3

You didn't get what i was trying to say mate. I wasn't talking about the loss to the centre of midfield. I was talking about the loss of goals, and we don't know if our new signings will make up for the loss. I think we should keep Nolan for one more season, just incase things go badly. 1 or 2 injuries like last season and we could end up REALLY missing Nolan.

 

[Heavy Metal Toon]

Er..that's the general principle behind replacing a player. Clubs do that all the time.



If we keep him for one more season, and he's a bit-part player which I fully expect him to be, we will get 1 mil, maybe 2 for his services when he's only got a year left. The way I see it he's a completely spent force in 2 years' time anyway so might as well cash in on him now.

You really expect that 6 million from him to be reinvested in the club?

 

[GeordieLew]

we could but that is where the signings your bring in have to be trusted ... you cant sign 2 STs but say hang on just incase they cant score lets keep hold of nolan ..

People have this "cash in now" idea about Nolan but they seem to forget that that money will most likely go straight to Ashleys pocket and will not go back into the club.

I still don't think that all 35 million will be put on new players. Another 6 million is nowt really lads. I'd rather keep Nolan for another season.

I'll agree with that, especially considering this past season's injury and suspension woes.

Every season we get crippled with this but we are Newcastle and if we do anything it has to be the hard way so we'll never learn.

 

[Jonnyaiston]

Cash in on him IF we get a couple of good strikers. He has been great the past two years, but has been lazy a lot which has been noted already.

 

[EastMidlandMagpie]

I'm 50/50 on Nolan as many have said before I can't see him getting into the starting line-up next year if we bring in the proposed talent we have been linked with. Also a fee for him would help us offer others better contracts and spend a bit more on transfers too. On the other hand as Tash has repeatedly mentioned he does get us goals; though I think buying two young out and out strikers and selling Nolan for a DECENT price would benefit us in the long term.

He is good in the dressing room so we're told, but as someone mentioned about Smith on another article, you don't want to be paying someone to motivate your players and then put them in the starting XI at the detriment of another younger/better player.

Nolan is fat as **** and his CM capabilities are ok for about 20 minutes untill he needs a rest.

Saying this he does score goals and as long as he's scoring goals he'l be a vital part of our team. Although his goals we're drying up in the second half of the season so his days as a vital member may be numbered.

 

[skalpel]

I agree with tash that we shouldn't sell Nolan but I find his 'Nobody insults Nolan on my watch' approach to conversation hilarious.

 

[The Gallowgate]

What did most of us say when AC joined Liverpool about loyalty? Nolan's goals and leadership helped us get promoted and then helped us remain in the PL and now we are ready to just say "take the money". I understand football is turning into more of a business but IMO he is still doing a good job for us and even if he isnt playing every game atleast he wants to play for the club and may be willing to sit on the bench which is rare in this day and age.

 

[Arfa's Left Foot]

He is a complete ****ing luxury, defensively he contributes very little and build up play offers even less. He tries hard but has minimal stamina which is why he is always blowing out his arse after 60 mins. Yes his goals and leadership would be missed but where would he play? I'd like to keep him as an impact sub but an offer of £6m for a sub who is approaching the end of his top flight career would be a fantastic offer.

 

[Sanchin0]

Well he shouldn't disrespect Nolan like that, who's been amazing for us in the last 2 years by calling him lazy and just a luxury when he's really been our most vital player since we went down. I'm sorry if it sounded a little harsh, but no one disrespects Nolan like that and gets away with it.

SHUT THE **** UP! Seriously.

spot on.

If it weren't for Tiote theres no way Nolan could play in a 4-4-2. Usual hyperbole aside Tiote does all his running for him, allowing Nolan to get into positions to get goals and removing the need to chase back as another centre mid would. As stated, without his goals Nolan is an absolute passenger most games, and when Tiote was missing this was blatantly obvious.

Fact is his best position is off the striker, and if we are going to play like that next season then its likely that Ben Arfa will be playing there as his pace and creativity will help a striker (even if it is Shola), leaving Nolan out in the cold especially with Cabaye and hopefully a right winger coming in. If we can get £6m I'd bite Jols massive hand off.
