Step One: Create Twitter account based around football rumours. Step Two: Devise your own rumours and tweet about them. Step Three: Repeat Step Two until the Law of Averages dictates that one tweet will take off and begin getting circulated. Step Four: Sit back and mirth at the fact that this is your biggest achievement to date.
James Tomkins: Crystal Palace sign West Ham defender for £10m http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36713583 A West Ham reserve goes for £10 million!
Maybe for 12 months ago but prices have shot up since then. Plus the HG factor makes him even more valuable.
I doubt this will happen but I do wonder how Newcastle do it. They go down and sign better players than they do when they're up. Why in all hell is Matt Ritchie taking a move down to the championship exactly? I can't really stand him but hes surely one of the Muff's best players...?
Money talks, also he's Scottish so maybe closer to family ect... But I'm sure I read somewhere he had never been to Scotland before his call up. So yeah, I don't get it either
It never ceases to amaze me how a fake Twitter account can tweet something completely made up and cause so much panic.
Just shows how much money Mike Ashley is throwing around. Ritchie wouldn't have been on peanuts at Muff so he must have been offered a huge wedge at Newcastle. In the light of that you can see why Cathcart would be interested particularly if Wally has better options in mind.
I can see the attraction. Move to a club that is going to pay you more and are likely to win more often than not. Or stay at a team that is likely to be in a relegation battle, be it at a higher division, at less pay. In the 2017-18 season I think it is a reasonable bet that the two teams may well have swap places too.
Has to be b*llocks surely?? Why would we be letting go of any homegrown players capable of playing first team?
Haha. I heard when he was called up for Scotland and played up there, it was like the first time he had been to Scotland!
I don't find it all that puzzling - doesn't matter if it's a lower division, Newcastle are a far bigger club, will likely pay more and will be winning week in week out while Muff are surely among the favourites for relegation next season. Despite their problems and massive underachievement, I'd still bet on Newcastle having a brighter future on the pitch than Bournemouth in the next five years.
