Apparently the rumour in Newcastle is that they will come back Tuesday with a £15m bid. Would we accept it, I hope not from our promotion prospects but could understand the money side.

Everybody has a price, but he is the root of everything good that we do at the moment. It's a trade-off, can we use the money to get someone as good or better ? I have no idea, I leave it up to the professionals.

General talk in Newcastle apparently. Just as a side issue son was in a night club with 3 of our team and asked Dunk if he was going and he just laughed and gave no hint either way.

Why would the Newcastle decision makers release that much information about their plans? It makes no sense.
If they wanted him, why not bid before our game so they wouldn't have to face him and the prospect of dropping points because of him? And leaving a bid until the last minute makes it easy for us to ignore (reject) the bid without worrying about the player being upset etc.
It seems you're still listening to the least reliable of sources.

If it was a £150 million bid then maybe.
£15 million on the otherhand is an insult with the £170 million prize for reaching the PL.

More to the point what was Lewis Dunk doing in a nightclub?

Drunk blokes in a nightclub = talking a load of
Nobody said they were drunk in fact far from it. Son sent me a picture of him and Lewis Dunk and said that the 3 of them were very quiet and reserved and drinking very little.

International break so CH probably didn't mind them having a few beers in the toon. He and a few others booked a room in the local Jury's Inn. Can't see that ending badly.

No game for 2 weeks apparently 3 of them stayed up there and flying home later today.

It would be a disaster to let him go. I honestly don't think he will.

Why did everybody know what was happening pre TB and PB. Transfers in and out were common knowledge in those days.

I was referring to the unsubstantiated rumour that you passed on about Knockaert. I'm assuming your son told you he heard it, probably the geordies attempting to wind him up. If not from where did it come?

Ahhh ok, presumed it was before the Newcastle game.

Whether it be true or not is immaterial the point is would we accept a £15m bid do you think? I think we would but I would hope not.
Some clubs won't be good at keeping their plans quiet, but that's not the same as releasing information that they'll bid £15m on Tuesday. If they want to bid £15m, why not make the bid now, or preferably last week?
