Post by: aldo_14 on August 30, 2004, 07:46:01 am: hmm.... sell Woodgate (defender) for £13 million*, leak a bag of goals, unrest amongst the players, and then bid 22m for an injured striker with a prediliction for massage parlours...?

Not surprised, to be honest. Newcastles results have been rank, and the clubs not really gone forward in the last few years.

*actually, good value that one. Selling a pretty average crocked defender for 13 mil is good business in anyones book....but not buying a replacement?
