I think I have answered everything more than once over and over, somewhere its not sinking in with you though.
No I don't believe everything I read in the papers.
Also the reason I posted the twitter comment was due to you stating he had not mentioned anything about the club or us and then you failing to acknowledge that a Newcastle based paper is only interested in Newcastle related stuff. I do not "lionise" any footballer and have not done since I was a kid which unfortunately was too many years ago.
What's not sinking in, that I don't agree with you?
You started off, by saying he went to Newcastle a bigger club, I countered with he would have gone to Bournemouth if his wage went up, you agreed. So the bigger club argument goes out the window and you are left with he will move to the richer club who will pay his wage demands.
If a Newcastle paper only wrote stuff to do with them then why mention he was training on his own whilst at West brom?
Why would they select that bit only about us and miss out a thank you to us in the very unlikely event he said it to them, if he said it, that made him sound a grateful, good, humble person that would endear him to the Newcastle fans even more.
He thanked us for bringing him to the Premier league, you you posted.
Could it be he didn't give a flying f after he was there and back up to £70k?
Short career agreed, but it's not a career that should incapacitate him from having another career like Stuart Ripley (ex Blackburn) becoming a solicitor or John Wile becoming a car salesman or Ally Brown running the supporters club bar, etc, etc. After his football career he will be 35 and not even be middle aged so the world is his oyster.
I don't have a problem with him earning what he does for how long he does, but I as an Albion fan I expected him to be loyal and help get us back up after he helped take us down and one season on £35k a week was not going to starve him and his family for generations to come.
He is no different to the 2 players you have mentioned (BTW can you please provide a link to Adebayor going on strike at Spurs).
Either all 3 are mercanary carlos kickaballs or none of them are.
Just because you didn't read about a transfer request or this or that, doesn't mean he did instigate the move, and again I infer from his training alone he instigated it.
You obviously agree that there are mercanary footballers, but you don't include rondon in your list.
I do.
