Craig 12386 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 I think Shearer would have ultimately come home regardless. For all we know Man Utd may well have offered more than we did. He wanted to play for Newcastle, and he wanted the no.9 shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 22505 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Keegan may well have been key too. But I know for a fact Scott Parker turned down champions league with Everton (2005ish?) for 66k a week at Newcastle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 12386 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Wasn't Parker nailed on to go to Spurs that summer, or was that Damien Duff a few years before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 12386 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 I've still to watch that tbf - didn't think it was a good idea to watch one of clery's 30min videos whilst I was supposed to be working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not how it works though, what you think or I think subjectively has no bearing whatsoever on an issue that needs to be looked at objectively. By all accounts Shearer was offered a better financial deal by us. Edited August 21 by Dougle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougle 4598 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 To add didnt the manure fans sing 'one greedy bastard ' about him (Shearer) for that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego21 2465 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Fortunately or unfortunately, I've had the opportunity to be very close to how negotiations work in the world of football, and I don't think I'll ever take the side of either the player or the club, because things tend to be very complicated and it becomes a game of interests, leaving the sentimentality for us, the fans. What I can say is that practically no player is going to lose money on transfers when they're at the top. Whether it's Shearer, Isak, or... I don't know. Here in Spain, the media, which is quite sympathetic to Real Madrid, keeps whitewashing the fact that he's earning less than at PSG, when the reality is that I think they paid him 120 million in his signing bonus alone. I know that Atleti's owners played many dirty tricks on captains like Gabi, Koke, Saúl, and Rodri... If they're Atlético fans and ended up leaving... what's a player who doesn't feel the club belongs to him not going to do? In the end, if you feel you're not being treated well or undervalued... You decide to leave. Let's not be hypocritical. Just as we as a club have the right to want to keep Isak... Can't all those bad players we've fired year after year because they weren't good enough for our club, or whom we've told to find a future, think the same? You already know that I don't want Isak to play here again, because the way he's handled it hasn't been appropriate. Personally, if he's still here on September 1st, I'll support him, but I won't see him the same way. But I also know that the world is very, very murky, and that the good guys aren't that good, nor the bad guys that bad. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 8366 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Not sure I think that's the way to go with this mind. It's a kid of course but he's really not looking likely to go this summer so we're all going to have to find a way to get past this one way or another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougle 4598 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 I think we can precise this whole thing into Ballsaks agent wanting 5m quid from his asset and the asset being in some sort of ‘position’ where he goes along with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack 15600 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 [Wishful thinking] this whole saga may have a silver lining, if Yassir/our owners feel slighted, they may be thinking who the fuck do these football bastards think they are, and pull out the stops to reinvigorate the project instead of passively playing nice as we have been [\wishful thinking] 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
