Who'll be out in the Newcastle exodus?

[vulture]

owen to everton

 

[Del Boy]

Viduka will never get another club, he'd never pass a medical... Nicky Butt isn't fit to lace boots at South Shields FC let alone play for Newcastle.

Butt will stay.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Owen it far to good to retire and still has a huge amount to offer, mark my words if he stays fit he will be a 15+ goals a season striker

When has Owen ever stayed fit for a whole season?
I hope he does retire. He isn't even Championship quality anymore.

 

[Gully]

Owen will retire to do the job he loves, train racehorses.

...pity he didn't go sooner, rather than spend a season surrounded by cart-horses!

 

[Gully]

Butt will stay.

Pity, I would love to see him move south and join us...can you see the headline in the Argus..."Albion chase Butt"!!!

 

[Brian Fantana]

Viduka will never get another club, he'd never pass a medical.

I reckon a Premiership team will give him a pay-as-you-play deal. Still a good player if fit.

 

[mh369]

Bassong will definately be off...joined by the likes of martins, viduka, owen, nolan, duff, guttierez..colocinni will jog on back to spain where he actually looked like a footballer. Good chance for newcastle to rebuild their squad and structure.

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

I reckon most players will leave but they will sign good enough players to go straight back up

I'll like to see them buy players like Delph and maybe even Beckford.

I reckon Steven Taylor will also be off. They seriously need to get rid of Collochini (sp) what a load of tripe he is.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Presumably Owen will be off and I'd imagine Gutierrez, Duff, Martins, Ameobi, Viduka, Nolan and Jose Enrique won't fancy Championship football much either.

What a dreadful bunch of has-beens and never-will-be's you've just quoted there. These under-achievers are a major part of the problem. Tho sadly there will be a queue of mug chairmen willing to keep them in the swimming pools and helicopter pads to which they've become accustomed.

 

[fire&skill]

Shearer

ps - don't think MOTD'll have him back because he clearly knows nothing about football - the words 'promoted to his level of incompetency' have never rung so true

 

[Gwylan]

Why should Owen go to a Prem club? When Real Madrid released him there wasn't exactly a queue for his services and now he's two years older with a lot more injury problems. I'm sure someone will take a chance on him but I can't see them fighting their way to St James's Park to take him on.

 

[timbha]

did they just say on MOTD that Newcastle have 15 players earning over £50k per week?

 

[Zamora For England]

A valid point I overheard earlier on the underground - Middlesbrough will be better prepared next season than Newcastle. The majority of their players will not need to leave as they are largely Championship standard. Even their best home grown players have openly expressed they would be prepared to drop down a tier.

Newcastle, however, will need almost a whole new squad should the lion share of theirs leave.

 

[clapham_gull]

did they just say on MOTD that Newcastle have 15 players earning over £50k per week?

.. and no relegation clauses in their contracts.

 

[Notters]

.. and no relegation clauses in their contracts.

They're f***ed, we'll be passin them in the opposite direction!

 

[sir danny cullip]

Newcastle are truly buggered, they are going to have to overhaul that whole squad to reduce the wage bill which may mean letting a few go for little or no fee. Seriously tough job I just hope for their sake they dont ask Shearer to do it!

 

[Hiney]

All of them were a disgrace to the shirt today.

If ever there was an example of a group of over-paid prima-donnas not giving a flying f*** for the fans that wach them week in week out, it was Newcastle United today.

If any of them have got any bottle they should stay and help them get back up.

 

[beorhthelm]

Owen to Everton is interesting, might take a punt on that. I can see the idea of going to Villa but im not sure theres space for another striker there. bearing in mind why he ended up at Newcastle, essentially wages, i wouldnt be surprised if he ends up at Man City.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Alan Smith haha I'd forgotten him. Might get a sniff at one of the promoted clubs but he's nothing special

I bet one of the newly promoted clubs will pay 5-6 million for him. Why is it newly promoted club pay ridiculous fees for below average players? Stoke paid millions for that crap bloke from Reading. Hull paid 5 million for Hopalong Cassidy from Fulham.

We know they have no bottle mind you..

Thing is, that's the difference between them and Boro. Boro were crap too but that's mainly because it was a team made up of youngsters and a few flop big money buys that took all the other funds away(think Alves). They went down because they weren't good enough but gave it a shot, their team on paper was clearly too weak.

Newcastle on the other hand,surely had enough competent players to stay up but the buggers just couldn't be f***ed.
