Re: Parker signs for Toon Well said Slowly some of the shit, trouble makers are going as well - lets hope there is more cash and more decent players to come in Bowyer / Ambrose are meant to be off mans soon as well....
"Everybody knows about Spurs, but I have chosen Newcastle United. That says it all," said Parker after sealing his move. "I could have stayed in London and kept my family down there. "This is the club for me. "I know that other clubs were keen on me, but as soon as I heard Newcastle were interested there was only one place I was going.
Which basically reads: "these daft bastards were the only team that would pay me the ridiculous £55,000 a week i asked for"
The overall package Newcastle have gave Parker is unbelievable: Overall package for Parker 6.5 million transfer fee + 14.3 mill in wages over 5 years = 20.8 million quid for a hardworking, neat and tidy midfield player. who has had one decent season at the top level, football has gone mad !!!!
The money they have paid for him is ludicrous, i know you have to pay more for players when u cannot offer them european football and other clubs who are interested in him can but that figure i quoted is unbelievable.
Re: Re: Parker signs for Toon he just lives down the road from me so i'll post if i see any signs of a move!
He is not even close to being classed as a "great english midfielder" he has done/achieved nothing in football to warrant even coming close to that tag.
Sunderland fans again getting on there high high horses cos we can blow money left right and centre, some come off some dont - why does it bother ya's so much tho ?!?! We have probs spent more on Parker than they will this summer BTW SAFC tell me what your players have achieved who you have signed, obviously bringing in some class eh
