some doing better than others but all on big wages, probably 3 times their city wage so im sure they are more than happy and some in the prem now and others about to follow next season so if you are saying they regret moving on you must be deluded

Fox playing in the prem getting good reviews good money

Fox doesn't play for Southampton in the premiership(not very often gets about 5mins every 2 matches), he's doing better than he would with us sure but still.

If we still had that lot we would have gone bust a lot sooner, so lets not forget that them leaving suited our owners too as they could not afford to keep them

There's a good chance Dann and Best could be back here next season, what if Blackburn in a relegation battle and all.

Can't blame any of them for leaving. If a rival company offered you 6 times your current salary, what would you do?

No chance, they'll jump ship if Blackburn sink, Harry will probably offer them a job in his QPR promotion side.

I guarantee Clingan is on less money than we offered him and Scottish football is always ridiculed by people on here

Good goal from clingan and see the name McPake still annoys me as I would have him here above all the centre halfs that we currently have.

Skillwise your right about Mcpake, I just don't think physical he could handle it in england. To many games coming to quickly, ment he was constantly injured. In Scotland where they play less games, he's definitely found his level!

Marlon King - Still banging in the goals but his prospects are getting worse IMO. He's getting older and probs wont be at Birmingham next season due to their financial issues and he has proven with us that he wont stay unless he gets the exact deal that HE wants, but still a great player
Leon Best - Made the right call to move to the Toon. They were wrong to sell him IMO. He was scoring goals in his sub appreances there and with Ba gone, they could do with him now. After his injury it will take him some time to find his form but he is still young and has a lot to look forward to. He will return to the PL some day
Bigirimana - Future PL star. He's acheiving so much so young, its incredible. His prospects are very good. Newcastle are playing him more and more and he is giving the goods. Whether its with the Toon or another club, he will be a PL regular
Scott Dann - Still a very young player. Very good player. Still got a lot to look forward to. Would not suprise me if he is at a big club in 3 years time
Danny Fox - With Shaw coming thru the ranks at Saints, Fox has to up his game to stay in the team, and he is doing. Still a young player, one of the best attacking left backs i have ever seen. IMO, on par with Baines. Shaw will likely go to a big club in the summer which will make Fox's position safe. With Saints looking to cement their PL status next season, it could be a good future for him as a PL regular
Richard Keogh - Doing well at Derby. Making an impact there. Derby could well be contenders for the play-offs next season if they sack Clough. He isnt his dad. He's a good manager but a Billy Davies or a Neil Warnock can work with those talented youngsters and get Derby to the PL
Keiran Westwood - Hardly plays. Mingolet might leave to join United or Arsenal so he may get his chance, but i think his future lies with a big Championship club like Hull or Palace
Sammy Clingan - 1st class arsehole. Got what he deserved for walking out on us. F**ked up at Donnie and is now playing in Scotland. Theres no worse punishment. No future for him. Downhill from here
Aron Gunnarsson - PL player next season. Can see him doing very well. Cardiff IMO will stay up next season, so he is in the same position as Fox
Ben Turner - Exactly the same position as Gunnar
Lukas Jutkiewitz - Isnt really going the biz at Boro. Not scoring as many goals as he did last season. He has good prospects for the future as he is still young and i can see him in the PL soon, but not yet. He needs to find his shooting boots

Scott Dann and Danny Fox are both 26 now so not that young anymore, 26-29 will likely be there peak years.

He refused a new one. I disliked him after his woeful performances as captain and he turned his back on him when we needed him when we were relegated

26 is not 'very young' either as you described Dann

Yes it is an opinion, an outrageous opinion in my opinion.

His contract expired, he chose not to sign one. Again, nothing wrong whatsoever.

You can hate him for whatever reason you conjure up, but he's not 'getting what he deserves' or whatever emotional nonsense you want to apply to the story of a player leaving a club.

Watch Bigirimana playing 1st half for Newcastle in Europe this week, played well some great touches, but still long way to go, he should become top talent if he keeps going way he is
