Hence the return to the pit of doom.

you left your residency for a short time

I think Vitor needs to separate Hwang the man from Hwang the player and get him sold. He's a waste of a squad space

We may have paid £23m but the fee was agreed 12 months earlier before he scored 14 goals(?) in a struggling team last season. £23m isn’t his value now, just like £60+m isn’t.

I'm not sure why you've decided to aim loads & loads of personal digs at me recently, but if you could cut it out - that would be great. Despite disagreeing with you on some things, I've still 'liked' a number of your posts over the last few weeks, because I'm able to decipher between the poster and the point being made. It would be fantastic if you could extend the same courtesy.

Nah, I'm fine with it. I don't read the match day threads so your moaning is easy to ignore outside of the transfer windows but you've been acting like a petulant child all summer so you'll get treated like one.

If he’s “not for sale”, I’m not sure what they’re talking about…

Well maybe it’s about the deal I have in mind:

We keep JSL.
You can keep fcking Mr Sting.

Now put your crocodile shoes on and fck off.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

I think we all know he’ll go. I just hope we rinse as much out of a desperate Newcastle as we can.

 

[prawnking]

I know many people on here will be rushing to justify it, but if he goes now he's a greedy cunt

It's a job, if someone doubled your wages wouldn't you go?

Think that's harsh, he doesn't seem to be pushing for it but will go if he's sold. He's not an idiot, he'll see Newcastle as a club who want to spend to improve rather than a team that wants to sell any player as soon as there is some financial profit from it.
That said I'll be gutted, especially as we're unlikely to sign anything like a competent replacement and it will push us further towards the trapdoor.

 

[basher]

I don't give a fuck about what fee Wolves can rinse Newcastle for... if JSL goes then we're royally fucked and falling through the trapdoor with ease.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Don't blame him going at all. Bigger crowds, better players, more money, better chance of European football.

Saw an interview with him after last night - think it was Wolves TV .

All his comments were those of a player who is staying - talking about next Saturday etc , keep on improving , great crowd etc etc .

Looks like those comments mean absolutely nothing .

For me he is going to win anyway . If he stays we give him a better deal , probably matching what Newcastle would give him . He'll be playing at a club that he is familiar with and who are clear on his ability - versus Newcastle , where expectation would be massive from the word go .
Even if we go down he will easily get another PL club , and can put in a release clause anyway .

 

[Kenny]

rather than a team that wants to sell any player as soon as there is some financial profit from it.

Yet here we are rejecting bids that would make us an easy £30m.

Admittedly being done as they dont think they can replace him but it currently goes against the view we will sell for a profit at any point.

Still say he only goes if he Isak's us.

Predictable. It's not just a job, any more than being a pop star is just a job

 

[Templeton Peck]

Depends how much money I had to start with. If I was already incredibly wealthy, it wouldn't really matter to me. By your logic, they'd all be in Saudi Arabia.

I thought you were a socialist, mate.

End always justifies the means then?

It was in response to you calling him a greedy cunt. There are lots more reasons for why he'd want to go to Newcastle than financial.
