We’ve been linked with the 23-year-old for most of the summer but, as ever these days, our interest cooled as Ajax played hard to get with Anita.
However it would seem that a fee of around £6.2 million (or €8 million) has been enough to persuade Ajax to part company with their academy prospect who has been at the Amsterdam club for over 13 years now. Anita is yet to agree terms with Newcastle though although you would have to say that negotiations and a medical are just formalities ahead of the closure of the deal. It’s highly unlikely that his agent will have no idea what NUFC are going to offer isn’t it?
Naturally this will crank up the speculation regarding Cheik Tiote who will now be pencilled in as leaving the club by a section of our fans. It may be the case or it may not and nobody knows for sure, but just because we’ve signed another defensive midfielder (who can also play left-back I’ll add) it doesn’t necessarily mean that our African enforcer is on his way.
If you actually think about it allows our team to be more dynamic in attack if the addition of Vurnon is worked right. You could have Anita and Tiote sitting deep with Cabaye pushed further forward flanked by Benny and who can interchange with Cisse up top throughout the match. Or we could have a midfield trio of Cabaye, Tiote and Anita giving Ba, Cisse and Ben Arfa licence to do some damage in attack.
The possibilities are endless and with the prospect of somewhere near 50 games this season we, to be fair, need all the faces we can get.
So not quite signed and sealed yet, but not too far off…
According to SSN Anita has changed his agent which is apparently why there’s been a delay in the medical/signing, supposed to be happening soon..

“I don’t want the money to be spent on another Michael Owen and never have I suggested that. What is wrong with buying another Cisse tho. ? ”
Troy, I distinctly remember you saying (in your bitteress at the Carroll sale) that you felt Cisse couldn’t possibly be as that good, otherwise the bigger clubs would have been all over him at 10million.
No you seem to have changed your tune to suit your arguement… 🙄 🙄 😳 😳
JJ(Quote)
Troy – “We are still waiting for the Carroll money to be spent.” How many ways can I put it. Its gone. The only thing remaining is the good feeling in Mikey’s heart that the club is now a hell of a lot richer than he thought it was shortly after he bought it. This may mean he might be slightly looser with the purse strings.
I note you’re now mentioning a figure of £25M and not £35M or more. Is that £35M plus £25M? Tell me how much we’ve got; how much of it you want to spend on new players; how much you want to use to pay down debt; and by when should we spend it? If we had debts owing on player transfers when Mikey took over of £27M, are you proposing that the club should carry this debt on forever? Is that something you would do with your personal fiances?
So far, you’ve said we’ve still got £35M and you think it should have all been spent on players before now? Do you expect to see us spend that now? More importantly, is that what you’re crying out for? Just sum up what exactly you’re saying because you’re more slippery than Llambias.

You recall me saying those comments or just guessing? I have never said anything remotely in those lines and I ask you to find that quote.
Howver I do recall you saying this about Ben Arfa in January 2012
Personally, I think he’s overated and we should sell him in the summer if a decent offer comes in.
Would much prefer a player with greater team ethics.
You still saying the same?
Troy Stavers(Quote)
@B&B
You are doing a JJ here. Twisting like a corkscrew.
The debate was about you stating that most if not all the Carroll money had been spent. That is the only issue we are debating.
Never throughout this whole thread have I stated we have the full £35m remaining.
From the outset I have stated figures.
I’ve repeatedly stated we have a surplus of £25m – £30m since Carroll was sold.
You on the other hand state all or most ofthe Carroll money was spent.
I have asked you to provide figures.
You produced irrelevant finances. Ashley stated at the point of sale, that ALL the Carroll cash would be reinvested in the team in the summer.
Do the math.
IRO £55m sold £25m bought.
You can wriggle all you want but the more you wriggle the louder I laugh. Wooo hoo hoo hoo 🙂 🙂

Been looking at pundits predictions for coming league season and not one puts us in top 6 but they mostly put Liverpool and spurs 5th and 6th with one I’ve seen opting for everton over the Dippers.
Rob McCarthy of team talk says if we take it seriously Toon can win Europa League cup iho.

Kim- losing Rodwell will really hurt Everton IMO.
I think Lpool will take some time to gel, if they even gel at all, so they may find themselves down the table quite a bit early on.
I can see why we aren’t getting any love from the pundits as the recent history of Europa qualifiers in the prem isn’t the best. Still I think we have more quality than we are given credit for.

Newkie(Quote)
Id genuinely love to hear why they are expecting a dramatic improvement from liverpool.
Gerrard is a year older and less influential, Their squad is jam packed with average to ***** players, They couldnt hit a barn door last season and their current crop of strikers are even weaker (Borini didnt even stand out in the championship let alone be in the same class of Bellamy) and they have a really hard start with their first 3 home games being against last seasons top 3.
Oh and the manager is way out of his depth. Check his record at watford and Reading, Granted swansea did well but they were already on an upward curve under Martinez and Sousa who put the majority of the team together and had them in and around the play offs way before Rodgers arrived and took all the credit for their “philosophy”.
CC(Quote)
CC ,I hope they drop like a stone ,they have one set of fans who need to learn humility and how to congratulate other teams who do well when they havn’t imo. Used to like Liverpool at one time but as the years pass their fans get more and more arrogant and bitter at never winning the PL title. Maybe it’s a generation thing but the pool fans I grew up with were never like that.
kimtoon(Quote)
CC and Kim , agree with both of ya’s. I dont think Rodgers will be given time to to what is required at Liverpool. They will be calling for Rafa soon enough as their next mesiah 🙂 Remind you of anyone? 😆
Johno Toon(Quote)
I dunno, I’ve caught up with a couple of liverpool fans I know from back home and, along with some of the ones that have popped on here I think they are learning humility and have actually been quite complimentary towards us so maybe some of them are turning over a new leaf.
Most of the ones I see at the pub watching a match are still right c*nts mind 😉
Agree that their team is worse and their manager, like his former club, unbelievably overrated.
Newkie(Quote)
Troy – You’ve avoided all the important questions. Its all there in black and white and its embarrassing. 😳
You say, “I’ve repeatedly stated we have a surplus of £25m – £30m since Carroll was sold.” Right something concrete to pin to the tree. Why do you say that the accounts which include the receipt of the Carroll money are irrelevant when discussing how much of the Carroll money is left to spend?
I have said that a good deal of the money from the Carroll sale went to pay off debts owed by NUFC on player purchases up to the time of the last accounts. So your figure of £25M to £30M is not there. Read my lips: THERE’S NOWT LIKE YOUR FIGURES LEFT IN THE POT. Are you saying the club’s accounts, WHICH INCLUDE THE CARROLL MONEY, are a fabrication?
You’re moaning that the money has not been spent but I’m asking you repeatedly how much of “your £30M” that you claim is sitting in the bank do you want spent on players and by when? How much of it would you like to see used to pay off the club’s massive debts on the stadium and past transfers? What’s hard about answering these questions? Still waiting for your defence of your statement that every club has a wage cap?
I’ll try one last time. JUST ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS I’VE ASKED THAT YOU HAVE AVOIDED ANSWERING.

I agree, Swansea finished 11th(around the same place[12th] Fulham finished the season[2009/10] before hodgson was appointed Liverpool manager) and yet played ‘great football’, so why pundits and scousers think Liverpool will be back up ‘where they belong’ is beyond me especially after the signings they’ve made are ******* than ours. I’d definately take Bigirimana over Allen especially when the former cost a fifteenth of the latter.

Your post is timed 17.11hrs today and you quote;
Troy –
You say, “I’ve repeatedly stated we have a surplus of £25m – £30m since Carroll was sold.” Right something concrete to pin to the tree.
Wow! Yikes! I’m starting to believe you are trying to reel me in now.
Please review all my posts from yesterday and today and you will find I’m consistent throughout. I state those figures continuously.
Pity you didn’t think of bringing your pin with you earlier but then again you wouldn’t find a tree for the woods. 😉
How does that make me feel? Exasperated? Embarrassed for you?
Correct if you ticked both. 🙂
Next;
You ask;
Why do you say that the accounts which include the receipt of the Carroll money are irrelevant when discussing how much of the Carroll money is left to spend.
Again, this has been answered on numerous occasions. Another embarrassment that I have to repeat it again. But I feel it must be done to make you aware how unaware you actually are.
Those accounts are irrelevant because they were produced before the summer window. Ashley stated at the point of sale that all the Carroll cash would be used in the summer to buy for the first team.
Those figures only show the financial situation at the time with the Carroll money included. None of the financial publications stated Carrolls money would be used to pay off previous transfers. It doesn’t because Ashley said so and there was not another statement from the board about the Carroll cash until near the end of the summer window.
To clarify, those financials DO NOT reflect where the Carroll cash was being invested just how much profit/loss we had made in the previous 12 months. It’s not a hard concept. I get it but I’m getting less surprised how you don’t.
READ MY LIPS. £55m sales £25m purchases.
THE CASH SHOULD BE THERE.
You then ask;
How much of it would you like to see used to pay off the club’s massive debts on the stadium and past transfers?
Ashley has stated in the past he would invest £10m per season out of the revenue for players.
Where is that cash? What I expect is when Pardew states he wants a CB that he doesn’t have to wait a year and still wait. That is likely to have scuppered our CL chances.
It’s not a case of splashing all the cash in one go but to use it wisely and I see no reason why that purchase has not been used out of the transfer kitty made since Carroll was sold.
Have you been one of the majority for criticising the board for not buying a CB?
What is done with the TV deal cash, sponsorship and other revenue streams?
Should that not be reinvested in the matters you name?
He seems hell bent on ridding the debt as soon as he can.
I have a mortgage but it’s manageable over 25 years.
Due to Ashley’s bad character, numerous attempts to sell, (I’m waiting for the next advert to apply to buy the club by email). 🙂
Now finally, there’s a brand new Grip shop opened in Tynedale. Get yourself down there and get one. ! 🙂 🙂
Troy Stavers(Quote)
Andy-Aye. And considering our return season featured a 6-0 thrashing of the team that relegated us, a 5-1 smashing of local rivals who were “years ahead of us” and a 4-4 draw which is regarded as one of the best matches in PL history well…i’d take our ***** hoofball football (which it was half the time) in which we put on real entertainment over Swansea spending 3/4 of their away matches playing for the draw.
But that’s just me 😉

Troy:

This is false. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2011/02/02/andy-carroll-cash-will-be-reinvested-pardew-72703-28094252/
Pardew claimed that he’d gotten an assurance from Ashley that the money would be “reinvested” into “the team”. Assuming that he didn’t have the wrong end of the stick, that could still mean all sorts of things, including youth transfers, infrastructure and wages.
I’m not defending the fat man – indeed, I remember this because I was angry about the weasel formulation at the time – but you need to keep the facts straight.
Wellington(Quote)
Too true Newkie 😉
Andymag(Quote)
But Troy, the article you keep quoting states that the “Carroll money” will be reinvested in the team. So obviously you are taking team as purely transfers, fine, whatever.
“Ashley stated at the point of sale that all the Carroll cash would be used in the summer to buy for the first team.”
“READ MY LIPS. £55m sales £25m purchases.
THE CASH SHOULD BE THERE.”
But they never say anything about the Nolan/Enrique transfers.
So really adjusting your figures:
£35M Sales. £25M Purchases
Which including agent fees would surpass the the Carroll revenue.
Check mate.
Please stop bitching about the Carroll money now.
The board found a 20 goal a season replacement striker (two in fact) for a third of the price, they strengthened the team incredibly so and are entitled to reduce the clubs debt, some of which was caused by them and some by Shepherd.

Newkie @410 Your right about family gatherings, and often the pub is in uproar.
Just got back from the kid’s footie training, getting texts all the way from Troy urging me to read his latest blog that he seems dead pleased with.
Troy – You said you are still waiting for the Carroll money to be spent (£35M). You’re living in cloud cuckoo land if you think the club are going to spend £35M on headline transfers.
You say the accounts are irrelevant. The accounts show we made a profit of £5M and that included the Carroll receipt. This was because we had a massive deficit on transfers brought forward. So where has your Carroll money gone?
Llambias has consistently been slithery over the transfer pot available following the Carroll sale, although he does make some half valid points about contracts and agents fees as opposed to headline figures. If you think Llambias is intending to up the borrowings in order to provide the pot of £30M that you expect us to spend, you’re living in cloud cuckoo land, fella.
Do you not understand the current economic reality where prudent people are striving to pay off their borrowings not increase them? Why should NUFC be any different?
You keep saying you have answered every point. When I ask how much of “your £30M” that you claim is sitting in the bank do you want spent on players and by when, and how much of it would you like to see used to pay off the club’s massive debts on the stadium and past transfers, your answer is you want a centre back! No figures. No idea. Pathetic, particularly when you make such a song and dance about how you have answered my every question.
I think the club is being run very prudently these days, and whilst I see a strong need for a centre back and left back, I believe the club are trying to strike a good deal. You have no patience, but what’s worse, you wont even nail your clours to the mast.
Finally, I note you have been criticised once again for putting the wrong words in the wrong people’s mouths. You really ought to concentrate on what is coming out your own mouth first, of course, because that statement about wage caps, which you still haven’t defended, was, to use your word, ludicrous.

In regards to our financially dealings I think its quite simple , the club will generate in the region of £80 million a year. The club will not spend a penny over that. They will try spend under that to make a bit of profit as that is what Mike ( or 99% of owners ) will try and do. I dont see anything wrong with that. And from where I sit that is why we stick to our valuation of players as we cant afford to go over budget. It can be frustrating esp since we were all used to the club paying the ‘ going rate ‘ for a player but those days are long gone and we do seem to be a lean mean fighting club.

@B&B
Again you come out with bluster as if I’m under the spotlight.
You made the original sweeping statement about most if not all the money has been spent. The only figures you can’t out with were irrelevant.
I’ve explained why and does not need explaining again to the fellow bloggers. It was clearer enough but you still couldn’t get it.
The great thing is, you answer with questions.
I don’t have a figure how much I want to spend. I simply state we have needed a CB for over a year and that cash should have been made available. It still hasnt, yet we have a surplus of £30m in transfers.
Very relevant point unlike your out of date publication. 😉
No surprise from that having read your previous posts and your difficulty in grasping simple issues 🙂
At no time have I stated that the club is being run well, but have
You found the pin for the tree yet ? 😉
I fail to see why you brought that in the debate in the first instance. It wasn’t about my opinions on how much of the cash should be spent, it was about you identifying where the cash had gone.
I’ve pointed this out to you over the years that you try to muddy the waters as you struggle to answer the original question posed.
I’ve never disagreed regarding the club being run well. I’ve just pointed out that the cash should be made available for a CB or another player should Pardew request it.
Again, I say this based on the surplus in transfers we’ve made in a relatively short period of time.
I fail to see why this was raised as well other than to muddy the waters.
You are desperate to change the subject to wage caps as its the same tactics. Until I’m satisfied that you understand that you are wrong on this subject then I refuse to move on.
That’s called letting you off the hook and I don’t do that 😉
Finally, you say I have been accused of putting the wrong words in other peoples mouths. Could you highlight where that is I was not aware of the accusation.
I did accuse JJ (your ally) that he misquoted me about Cisse . I said completely the opposite what he intimated and he scurried off never to be seen again.
So answer me those two pointers.
Why you are bringing other subjects into it which were not part of the original debate and who have I misquoted?
Troy Stavers(Quote)
This is what Vurnon’s father has told Voetbal International:
“We have an offer from Newcastle United but we are not in Newcastle yet.” “Newcastle and Ajax have agreed a fee but Vurnon wants to know what plans the Newcastle head coach (Pardew) has for him.
“Will Vurnon play at right-back? or left back? or in the midfield?” “These are important questions for Vurnon in making his final decision. He doesn’t know the answer yet.”
“Vurnon is free on Tuesday, but we have not received an invitation from Newcastle United to come to England.” “For now, we will just stay in the Netherlands.”
“If the conversation between the head coach of Newcastle United and Vurnon goes in a positive manner, then the move can go through.” “It may be done within a week.”
Troy Stavers(Quote)
Johno any club needs to be willing to pay the going rate if they want good players, yeah we have had a few bargains but you can’t structure the club around just buying bargain players because we’ll end up relegated again when our top player get fuked off because we arn’t bringing any new players in. So I don’t agree at all with ” we were all used to the club paying the ‘ going rate ‘ for a player but those days are long gone ”
We used to pay over the top for players and I agree that them days are over

It’s got to be just a matter of time before he’s wearing the famous black and white stripes. I have a good feeling about this transfer. The prospect of Anita, Marveaux and Ben Arfa plying there trade on the left with there twinkle toes is a mouth watering prospect. You cannot have enough left footers in a team.

Johno Toon how @434 how do you come up with the figure 80M pounds a year. The revenue has been much higher than that, even in the Championship season. Deloitte’s figure for 2010 was 95M pounds or thereabouts and there is a huge increase coming from the new TV contract. I’m just wondering what the 80M pound figure represents?

Munich-Imo the player can do a lot, but it depends on whether they’re willing to put their reputation on the line. Ben Arfa did, it may well have cost him his place in the french squad as Dechamps is there now.
Most other players either “lack the balls” or perhaps have a certain amount more “professionalism” about them, depends on your viewpoint.
