We sincerely regret and are sadenned that we had to let Andy go, but him delivering a transfer request in the end gave us no choice in the matter. Our supporters will be aware that we refused offers from Spurs and the first offer from Liverpool, but once the transfer request was handed in we had no choice in the matter but to cash in on for which we were being offerred a very competitive fee. We see this money as securing the future of Newcastle United and we will continue to work hard to take the club forward.

Head turned, nothing we could do etc etc

 

interestingly in trying to find what he actually said about Given I found this little nugget on a thread here which quoted the infamous Lee Ryder interview:

 

TOON supremo Derek Llambias has revealed his feelings over the departures of Newcastle United stars Charles N’Zogbia and Shay Given.

 

The pair jumped ship at St James’s Park during the January transfer window, with Given opting for Manchester City while N’Zogbia headed for Wigan and made his debut in front of 16,499 in their 0-0 draw with Fulham.

 

Llambias has accused N’Zogbia of being “deluded” but says that Given, who still has plans to hold fund-raising events for cancer at St James’s, will always be welcome at Gallowgate.

 

Llambias told the Chronicle: “Since I’ve been here Charles was always trying to get out of the club.

 

“He seemed to have this delusion that he was going to Arsenal or Man United and he’s ended up at Wigan.

 

“What’s all that about? It makes you think what are his motives.”

 

And speaking on Given, Llambias added: “The Shay situation was really difficult for us – he was an icon here, he was like Alan Shearer.

 

“We didn’t want to lose that.

 

“We never wanted to lose him.

 

“We emphasised that to him.

 

“Mike Ashley flew into to see Shay and tried to make him realise how valuable he was to us.”

 

“We want to continue working with Shay on his Macmillan charities.

 

“We don’t want to lose this relationship with Shay and I’ve made that very clear with the charity.

 

“It’s unfortunate, but what can you do when a player wants to leave?

 

“It’s no good having a player sitting in the stands, what can you do?

 

“It doesn’t do anybody any good.”

 

Llambias has also reflected on the exit of James Milner back in the August transfer window when Aston Villa coughed up £12m for his services.

 

Llambias said: “We didn’t want to lose James Milner.

 

“Realistically, he was only worth £6m according to people on our football side.

 

“Mike’s reasoning was that Villa would never pay £12m.

 

“But Villa went on and on and on, it got to 10 and we stuck to 12 because we didn’t want to lose him.

 

“At the end of the day I sat here with Milner and his head was turned, he’d played for Villa before and he wanted to go.

 

“We are not a selling club. We’re a buying club.”

 

Meanwhile United confirmed they go back in for January transfer targets Kieran Richardson, Michael Johnson, Nedum Onuoha and Albin Ebondo in the summer.

 

sound familiar? I think the first part is most telling, after saying all that about N'Zog we then put in a last minute bid for him?
