This. We can't afford to sell him knowing Hayden and Diame are most likely going to leave. That will leave us with just Longstaff and Ki. There not out and out defensive midfielders plus Shevely, so we would need at least 2 + 1 more if Shevely goes but I get the point people are making that if West Ham do offer that amount of money we need to consider it because as good as Shevely can be on his day he can also be a total liability with his reckless behavior and lackluster showings. There's a reason Liverpool sold him and Swansea decided to cut ties, the guy is talented but baggage, inconsistency and ill discipline all come into the package. I wouldn't mind if they offered 15mil + Carroll? or even better straight swap for Lanzini or give them 10mil + Jonjo. Lanzini is a quality player with his creativity, vision and technique. Imagine him, Perez, Miggy and Rondon. The four amigos.

I'd take him on a zero hours contract.

Carroll is a f***ing s***, injury prone drain on wages. Last time he played a full season was 11-12 with Liverpool and his goal return with West Ham is shocking.
We can do better.

His 5th red of the season. Quite amazing that Gerrard or someone at Rangers hasn't had a word with him about this. It's becoming ridiculous.UlversToon wrote: ↑Sun Mar 31, 2019 11:52 amMorelos red carded again today against Celtic!Remember Colo wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2019 9:20 pm

However, like Rooney and Everton, I can't see a fairy tale ending for him on the pitch with Newcastle.
I bear him no ill will - but I agree he shouldn't come back as a player.
Better to focus on the future, the past is past.

Mbabu signing for Wolfsburg, definitely one of those I can’t believe we sold. Only played a few games as a youngster but looked like he had potential. Would be perfect for our current formation.

Being honest I can’t remember a thing about the circumstances before his move to Rangers, just seems a shame we lost him.

Re: NUFC Minor/Untrusted Transfer Rumours (January 2019)
I don't recall it going down that way? I thought we didn't have plans for him so we sent him back to his home country. He's always spoken highly of Newcastle, though I think he was left wanting for opportunities - which given our dearth of FB depth over the years, he should have likely received more of.
Re: NUFC Minor/Untrusted Transfer Rumours (January 2019)
Pretty sure he admitted himself that he never performed well enough in training/reserve games to warrant a full run in the first team too.Remember Colo wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2019 8:26 pmI don't recall it going down that way?

I'll take him. Not only is he South American and Spanish speaking which means he'll settle right in with the three amigos but also would give us a different option upfront with his pace, finishing and mobility. Just give them Joselu and 6mil for his signature.

That would make sense. He did always seem to hold himself accountable, and it does seem like he took up the challenge of going back to Switzerland and proving himself again. Fair play to him. Seems a case of a player gaining maturity to the benefit of his career.ALF wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2019 9:18 pmPretty sure he admitted himself that he never performed well enough in training/reserve games to warrant a full run in the first team too.Remember Colo wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2019 8:26 pm

Re: NUFC Minor/Untrusted Transfer Rumours (January 2019)
Yeah he gave an interview a few months back where he basically admitted he took his eye off the ball at Newcastle and was enjoying the lifestyle too much... similar story with a lot of our prospects around that time (Aarons and Abeid spring to mind...)Remember Colo wrote: ↑Mon Apr 29, 2019 1:26 pmThat would make sense.
