Just saw this
http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/481701/REVEALED-Newcastle-tried-to-SELL-Jack-Colback-to-West-Ham-before-confirming-move
Dear god if that's true my mind is officially blown.
{Ed024's Note - Don't normally post links to other websites - but will make an exception for this as it a bit unique. The story broke a couple of days ago and it hasn't been denied .......so I'm thinking it's true}
1.) I know Ed, it was just too bonkers to not post, I still chuckle when I see that, 50k a week with them, 60k with west ham, dear god he maybe an okay player but nowhere near worth that much.
2.) Showed Ashley is a money grabber! and not interested in football!
3.) Its a load of rubbish
he never wanted to leave the north east. only one club he would sign for

Wow, I honestly did not expect us to nick that, well played guys, that's us almost safe. woohoo!

Wow, what a performance, now if only they could do that every week we'd be top half of the table at least.
At least we're in with a small shout now, bottom three are mightly close together. Now we got to win our home games and hope luck favours us.

The backroom staff must be dropping the ball entirely, both coaching and physio. Do you remember a few seasons ago when almost every injury was the same knee one? That was training ground injuries every single time. Though to be honest even with their terrible coaching, the players are more at fault. Take O'shae, how many years has he played? The last few games he's looked like he's just learning to defend for the first time, he doesn't communicate, doesn't help setup the defence and it's costing us badly. The others are pretty much as bad it's just unreal and they need to be gotten rid of, we need a total clear out of most of the first team and the coaching staff. If/ when we go down an entirely fresh start so that we can have a team again. There's no ethos to the team, no unity, no understanding and certainly no pride. When we go down we'll lose defoe straight off the bat and I wonder who else has relegation release options in their contracts.

I'm not in any way saying he's surplus, I'm saying with him in the team we always play the same way, which is stupid long balls which he rarely if ever gets. In that case what use is he? He can't score, he can't create, he can't DO anything. At least when he's playing with someone who can bring the ball down and get it to his feet he can really help the team. That's the issue though, defoe is a to foot player, which we'll never play without someone up with him. Which we rarely if ever do as we've no decent midfield to get the ball too him, usually because our defence can't get it to the midfield, thus the eternal longball tactic.
If we're going to partner him up every game sure he's probably one of the best forwards in the league, without though he becomes practically useless which is completely unfair to him. Also since we're always playing route one, it's insanely easy to defend against, we need options, variety and logic, none of which are available when they play the hoof it to defoe tactic 24/ 7.

I think the main problem is, with him in the team we play in an utterly stupid way. We hit 60yard high balls at him which he rarely if ever gets to as he's a foot shorter than everyone around him. If he wasn't there? We'd have to do something else I guess, also if we get relegated he goes for a free which is also bad for us.
It's a really tough position, when he plays with a tall guy he's got much more space and is a lot more effective, without that tall guy to help hold up the ball most of our attacks fail. We just don't seem to have another idea of how to attack.

Getting rid is all well and good, how though? Their wages alone make them entirely unattractive to other teams, then would we be able to replace them in time? As it stands we can't even get someone before we sell as we can't pay them till we see, it's a catch 22 our only option would be direct swaps, which would probably end up with us again paying part of their wages for the remainer of their contracts which we're still doing now for some who've left.
As for defoe, if we play 90% long balls to him he'll never amount to much, he's an entire foot shorter than most defenders. It's a stupid idea no matter how you spin it. Which makes it even more crazy that at least three managers have persisted with it. With a tall forward he at least gets near the ball more which is much better, as it stands though he's pretty much our only hope atm.

It's not the transfer fees that's the issue, it's the wage cap. We can't pay more wages than we are, we can't even bring our loan players back as we'd be in trouble with the FFP rules. Unless we sell someone or short manages to jiggle the books a bit we're really screwed due to year after year of patching a team that has made a mess of it entirely. We can't risk point deductions, or transfer embargos or even at the worst automatic relegation.

Our debt is far higher than 140mil in reality, you're forgetting the 130odd mil that short bailed quinny out of with his mismanagement of funds. Short backed moyes with all he had in the summer, honestly again what could he have done more? We're boned on ffp rules for wages, we can't spend more even if we want, hell we can't even bring our loan players back as we can't afford their wages. So how exactly is Short to even help this? Even with more investment THIS season we still can't spend more on wages, so what do you want him to do? Sell up and let someone else have a shot? Yeah they won't be able to DO anything either. I've said for the last few seasons that unless we get the wage bill down we're going to end up screwed, this is the end product. Until we go down and lose 90% of our players and rebuild an affordable team, this is never ever going to end. Bottom line here, we have too many players (and in our tiny squad that's insane) that are on too much wages, we're still paying wages to players who aren't even here anymore and this isn't going to change until our team does. That sadly will require relegation and an entire rebuilding of the squad.

That's pretty much how i'd line us up, hopefully we'll get a result, we do need a win to kick start our season.

Jones can also play left back, I guess the thinking is have another right back and he can shift there.

Must be nice to have your club being in such a good financial position to just be able to just chuck money at people, perhaps if we hadn't had a string of useless managers doing just that, we would be in a better position now.

Alonso won't come, pva can't cross for toffee, unless he figures out how to be a defender again I'd not play him, then again who else do we have who we could play? ugh, lb needed, and if he's not going to use whatmore, we need a right winger to shore up that side as they go up and down there like it's a joke.
