Selling their best player to a Championship side? This transfer makes no sense at all, to Newcastle or to Nolan.
Telling barton that they basically don't want him - He's been one of the major plusses for them and in getting rid of the pair of them their basically ripping out the heart and soul of their midfield.
What the hell is going on? are they planning on starting again from scratch?
I reckon there's something going down up their that's not been divulged yet. Ashley's got a buyer or something.
