unique 434 Posted July 18, 2017 Not content with stealing one Murphy from under our noses, he has already begun to ''tap-up'' the other one by stating an intention to return for Josh.It will be a blessing were Newcastle to suffer relegation this season to lessen the likelihood of this happening.....

A Load of Squit 5,136 Posted July 19, 2017 Strange to read that according to the report in the local NE paper that Benitez says that Newcastle do not have the transfer budget to compete with the ''big clubs'' in the Premier League.Poor Geordies, no longer a ''big club''.

lake district canary 4,531 Posted July 19, 2017 I''ve said it on another thread, but Benitez is just acting the Newcastle way, where everything is out in the open as long as it favours their club. They do it all the time and it is disrespectful to other clubs and is basically out of order. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crispeduk 282 Posted July 19, 2017 Yes he seems to be pandering to that childlike sense of entitlement which pervades the club (I know, how can they justify it to themselves? – I suppose that’s what childlike about it). Always thought Rafa was a bit over rated but had some class about him, so yes, disappointing …. for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CANARYKING 634 Posted July 19, 2017 Hope they get relegated, just what Benitez and the club deserve. Wonder what Murphy will think then, even better if we swap leagues. Suppose he''ll be made for life but have to go to Barnsley on a cold and wet Tuesday night again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FenwayFrank 2,457 Posted July 19, 2017 Where does he say he''ll be back for Josh ? All I''ve seen is a comment how they were looking at Josh last season but decided to go for his brother instead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coq au vin 0 Posted July 19, 2017 Bit bitter Canary King. Murphy doesn''t deserve that, he''s just trying to improve on his career. Like anyone would. Shame it was Newcastle as I''m not a fan of their ''way''. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CANARYKING 634 Posted July 19, 2017 I just think players should have more loyalty to the club that coached to the level that you''ve achieved AND gave you a four year contract that you signed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FenwayFrank 2,457 Posted July 19, 2017 Would we have got that much if he was on a shorter contract though ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are happy for the Club to ship out all the players that we don''t think are good enough for us year after year. Shouldn''t loyalty work both ways? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
