Yet another player that has been here for a ridiculously long time. Coming on 7 years ffs. The amount of players who should have been stopgaps who have hung around for years is unbelievable. Cheers, Ashley 

No consistency in fitness or performance from him on the pitch in the that time. Who knows, he may be fantastic with attitude etc off the pitch but as per your message much more likely to have had such a long tenure here due to Ashley taking the cheapest option available.

Ashley gave poor players good wages so they had no reason to leave and he didn’t have to buy anyone, we’re now struggling with getting them off the books due to this. Then when we do manage to get rid of some of these absolutely honking players all the NUFC Twitter lot praise them for being “superb servants” and praise them for being fouled against Leeds :lol:. Manquillo was on something like £30k a week, that’s not being loyal that’s simply staying where you’re fucking overpaid. 
 

On Eales I honestly think he’s just playing it smart, riling up other clubs and stirring the conversation - it even led to Emery making a similar statement about being limited by FFP. I think we have room to sign players this window I just don’t think they want to be forced into overpaying in a window that you often have to. They probably think we will be getting players back from injury soon and will be able to turn things around to a degree to close the season out where we then will have a profitable FFP year on our record going forward.

Re the wages. How does that work with FFP? 

 

Under FFP you can't make cumulative losses of over £105 million over a rolling 3 years period, wages are a cost = contributes to losses.

It's all well and good to be excited about players going out the door but considering the team's style of play they'd want to have guaranteed replacements locked in because we cannot be selling two of the fit first-teamers in the hope of getting targets in.
