A contract similar to Carroll’s would be reasonable surely? Probably not as high as £75k for every start but something like £15-20k basic and £40-50k when he’s picked is fair.

 

He's a young player with seemingly his best years in front of him, why would he agree to a type of contract that is reserved for has-beens that can barely get fit enough to appear on the pitch?

From the Athletic - Inter, Marseille and a Bundesliga team want him

 

 

Matty is still on the original professional deal he signed in July 2018, which runs out in June, and is being paid roughly £850 a week. Good money for some but Newcastle’s top earner, fellow midfielder, Jonjo Shelvey, receives almost 100 times that.

Would also like to see him move to a different league. He’s a very English centre mid at the minute, lots of charging around but not a great deal of finesse or tactics to his play. Would love to see what a good coach could do for him.

 

I’d like him to stay here but I just don’t see him improving to a Premier League player in our setup.

We are a shameful club in every way. Ashley has brought us - dragged  us - into the gutter. £850 a week? For fucks sake.......we get what we deserve....

Also this has to be a mistake. There is no way we are paying Shelvey £850,000 a week.

850*100 ≠ 850,000
