We'd love to keep Abdi and will be sad to see him go, but we have one too many top class midfielders in the same position and can't afford to pay his wages due to FFP, Do you know that you have to look through the small end of a pair of binoculars as you seem to have a very strange perspective on life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 It is all about value for money for next season . At the moment Bruce appears to have made a value for money signing in Iorfa. Obviously Aarons has some good attributes but is inconsistent and we need some goalscorers in midfield, not sure he brings that. I feel there might be better value out there.

We'll have Abdi shipped off to Newcastle in no time, a good deal for all parties involved 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetsheri Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I worry that he’s one of those players who looks good on loan and then absolutely cack when he’s signed permanent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauchief Owl Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 We may have no choice if we are under a transfer embargo. Anyway, let's see how things go the rest of the season before rushing to buy a player that, by all accounts, has performed without distinction at his previous loan clubs. He's made a good start but that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly the biggest waste of money ever for the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 He has shown some nice touches, but it’s hard to see how he’d fit into Bruce’s preferred system In a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-3-3, he simply doesn’t offer enough goal threat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreshOwl Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Definite yes to a perm, we need modern day players like this at the club, when did we last have a fast tricky winger? Boyd and Wallace and who before that? No one really since Antonio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s only played 27 times for them. Absolutely no chance he’s on 80 grand a week. Done nowt to deserve that. Yeah but it’s Mike Ashley we are talking about here. Anything is possible, especially the absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brommers Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 8 hours ago, Shetland Owl said: Yes I would sign him, think he has a couple of years under contract so would just swop Abdi for him £10,000 per week would be a good wage. More players will be out on a limb at the end of June Not sure Newcastle would really want Abdi tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
