[Albion] Dan Burn to Saudi FC

[LamieRobertson]

After being at fault for two goals in the last two games before this one, he’s been poor in this match and also lost his head on several occasions. His purple patch is well and truly over.

Maybe it’s Newcastles purple patch that’s over ….the ridiculous bigging up of BDB (I liked him as a player)…is now being balanced out …they’ve lost three in a row, all away….they now have three in a row at home starting with Wolves….now we’ll see how good Ed is…they lose and I think the natives will get restless

Indeed. And two others. He's turned in to a complete madman

The new Gazza. It’s what it’s like up there. It’s in the water

Still. He does have lovely teeth.

That's what his 9ft dentist says

Off course if he was still playing for us it would've been a great intervention

Remember the patient normally sits in a chair 8ft would be sufficient

Just had a look at the "Not 606" forum and came across this post about Allan Saint Maximin:

"Nah, had friends from Cumbria over for the weekend who watch Rugby League rather than football. In the warm up they asked who the fella with the bandages was and what was wrong with him? I had to admit he dresses like that every week and that the manager would be terrified of giving him the captains armband as he'd wear it on his forehead."

Made me chuckle

Not sure why we are laughing at this. Spurs will destroy us.

Why are the Toon so desperate to delve into our clubs riches with more guff like this

The answer, of course, is that with Burn and Ashworth relocating to Newcastle, it’s too much to ask for the media not to report unsubstantiated BS about that lot after our players. Expect a lot more of where that came from (someone’s ass) until the 31st August.

"Trossard, 27, who scored in Brighton's 2-1 win over Arsenal last weekend is looking to move on at the end of the season."

Is he?

 

[AmexRuislip]

Is he?

Probably agent bollox.......

Probably. Although thinking about it might not be a bad guess considering he apparantly doesn't want to sign a new contract.

Said he'll listen to offers, but is happy to stay.

Can see either argument: "If he didn't want to move away, why would he listen to offers?" and "If he's happy to stay, he's not exactly agitating for a move as such a claim would suggest"

Can't see any conflict here. If he's happy here, that's fine, but if somebody comes along and offers to double his wages, of course he's going to listen to them!

I guess it depends on our revised contract offer and how that compares to other offers he might get

Yes Dan, I'm sure it was the genius of Smug Eddie. Who could possibly think of 91 million other reasons for the turnaround at Newcastle?

6 points from 8 league games (0.75ppg) and an ignominious cup exit under Howe, before the mercenaries started to arrive. An average of over 2 points per game from the 14 games afterwards.

He has done a good job there, there can't be any argument about it. Obviously he's spent more money than anyone else but the recruitment has been spot on. They needed players in with the right character and it looks like everyone they've signed has been a success. Trippier and Burn in particular seem to be good eggs and the boy Bruno in midfield is like a prime Richard Carpenter. Brilliant business done in January and that was before they'd poached Dan Ashworth which is the best business they could have done for the longer term improvement of the club.

Having reached the top ten without him, can we now stop the renting of clothes over the price we sold BDB for? We got £13m+ for a now thirty year old centre half when we were 9th in January. As we have now finished 9th, it hasn't cost us any money in loss of earnings from potential finishing position. It made us a £10m profit, minus what we paid Wigan in sell on fees, but plus what we saved on his wages for the second half of the season. Another way of looking at it is that, following very decent service, Dan made us a profit that would buy the next Jakub Moder, two Moises Caicedos or ten Joel Veltmans. Its a small point, but I'm just a bit fed up with people arguing that we sell our players on the cheap and using BDB as an example. He was sold at a fair price and just because it turned out a good deal for all parties, doesn't mean that he should have been worth twice as much.
