Pavel Srnicek has told Tim Krul, to reject any overtures from Spurs, and to stay at St James for at least another couple of years.
Speaking to the Sunderland Echo Pav stated:
A move to a so-called bigger club does not always turn out for the best.
“Tim is still young, and I think, if he stays at Newcastle for another year or two and just gets more experience, he will have a good chance (of going to a top club).
“He was fantastic when Newcastle finished fifth, but he has had some injuries since then.
“It’s difficult, because you have to repeat the successful seasons you have and it is even harder to do it again.”
“Tim can read the game; he is very good on the line and has a good presence.
“He talks to people, which is very important, and commands the area.
“You have also got to be good with your feet these days, and everything you have to have as a goalkeeper in modern football, he has got it.
“I think he is a fantastic goalkeeper for Newcastle, but the way the business goes, maybe one day someone will come in with money and he will go, leaving the club needing to find someone else.”
The fact that Pav, thinks Spurs is a move to a bigger club, is a sad statement on the current regime, and how far we have fallen under this dreadful ownership.
The fact that he is probably right, at least in terms of ambition and footballing prowess, doesn’t make it any easier to swallow.
Unfortunately I don't think Tim will have a choice in the matter if that Fat @#$%& accepts the offer he will be loaded onto the helicopter and shipped to wherever fatboy wants for the sake of a few quid. We need new ownership and quickly as yet again we have spent major amounts of money in close season (NOT). 1 x free transfer and a couple of mil for that Spanish youngster (xisco MK2) So much for Pardew getting his signings done and dusted before World Cup everywhere you read its about players leaving and not joining. Relegation Bekons i'm afraid unless someone takes over our beloved club... #ashleyandpardewoutnow
Aye after years of buying our rejects, thanks for the cash for fox btw, you got a spurs fan to buy our club and run it into the ground, but we will be back once we get rid of the cocknies.
It's time to be tough on cocknies and the causes of cocknies.
