Quite like the idea of Xhaka sticking around as a squad player to be honest. The experience of him, Partey and Jorginho is a useful tool. He’s clearly influential in the dressing room.
No room for sentiment in football though, if he’s open to moving and we can get a better player, it’s a good move all round.
If there’s any truth to those Gundogan rumours then perhaps the plan is to replace xhaka with him and put the fee towards Rice.
This guy has a loyalty card at the local hospital. Should watch his mouth 
What a fucking bell end.
Ah fuck off wilson, what’s all this crying from Newcastle about a bit of gamesmanship?
You got ass fucked for most the game, get over it.
If we’d only get (as some reports have suggested) £15-20m for him, he’s worth more to us to keep around even if it’s only as backup/rotation.
That’s unless we do go out and sign 2 quality midfielders and these funds allow us to do that.
Odegaard Rice Partey Mount Jorginho (Elneny Viera emergency backup) should be enough.
But take Mount out of there and there’s too few options for a 3-man midfield for a club playing in the champions league
Wait, Wilson was on the pitch? I couldn’t tell. :arteta4:
He did 2-3 dirty challenges I think but I don’t believe they were intentional. He was second best to get to the ball. But what I really respected is that he was the only Newcastle player who apologised to our players after those challenges/tackles. Unlike the other fucks (Bruno, Joelinton, Trippier, Schar…) that were intentionally putting in nasty challenges and picking up unnecessary fights that bit them in the ass in the end.
He was focused on the football and was first to try to calm both sets of players after each tackle his teammates did that resulted in a heated argument.
If true then that’s a joke
Any less than €20m and there’s no benefit to selling him
Fuck those cheap cunts.
Meanwhile they want €90m for Diaby
Why on earth do we devalue our players’ price so much?!
Ok ok, Burn gets a pass 
I think it’s a false rumor possibly put out there by a buying club trying to get the price down.
Anything below 20m and we’re better off keeping him.
oh a bidding war…we might get £8m for him now
You gotta admire the chutzpah of continental clubs though. They know all it takes is one middle to big PL club to buy one of their guys and it could help fund a massive portion of their payroll.
I’m starting to think PL clubs will really only be able to buy and sell to each other in the future.
If Loserkusen want to pay 7m in Klarna installments for Xhaka we’re probably gonna see more guys like him run their contracts down.
