It was apparently the general topic of conversation with Geordies questioning whether he was worth that amount of money.

As you know clubs dont release it somebody tells a mate or family member in confidence who then does the same and so it goes on.
Why do you hope not? If we're not getting a bid for £15m then it doesn't matter whether we'd accept it.
You're missing the point, why would they have already decided how big the bid is, but decided not to make the bid until Tuesday? It makes no sense.

I agree, total madness too, especially selling to a Championship rival like Newcastle. We are trying to build a side here, not sell one.

Just forget it and go back into your own little world of fault finding.

Well it kind of does make sense to me. Leave your best bid until late, and then it's less likely that anyone will beat it.

Assuming this could be the case and I would not be at all surprised, Newcastle are still in the black from selling players, we should not sell him for any amount of money. He is key to our success. And the Prem is worth ten fold what we would get for him. We have to keep him.

That is the kind if response I was hoping for a definitive view on whether we should try to keep him rather the authenticity of the root of the rumour. Then again I am not so pedantic as many and just like discussing the possibilities available.

Yes the club would defo sell him for that price 
The transfer bloody window needs to shut at the end of July as its ridiculous to build and prepare your squad and lose players a month in...pathetic really.

True it needs looking at as to when it should close. I think 24 hours before the first league game. The argument against is that clubs may not be sure how players will do in the league until they are tried
That doesn't work if you tell all and sundry what that bid is. It would also make more sense if you make a bid of a lot less to start with, then up your bid as part of the bidding process.
Leaving it that late, Newcastle will also be aware we don't need to sell him, so if they want to make a large bid to tempt us. they'd be better giving us a couple of weeks to be able to spend the loot.

International break so CH probably didn't mind them having a few beers in the toon.
Maybe all 3 staying up there for a medical on Monday?

I swear Bens Grandad is a made up mods account. That all the mods use 24-7 to make us all look good.
So you just continue to post bullshit time after time, and I'm the bad guy for questioning your bullshit. Righto.

So you've canvassed the majority of the 298k population of Newcastle since our game yesterday on this subject? Impressive stuff. Have you slept?

I would feel bitterly disappointed if this is the case,what good is accepting a bid so late in the day? We're having terrible trouble convincing players to join as it is,let alone with less than a day to do so, it seems we're back to the bad old days of when Burke was ballsing things up,perhaps it's time for winstanley to sling his hook?
