He's a good option from the bench, but for Charlie's sake with Bojan fit he isn't going to get near the first XI and so he isn't going to get football. If he's happy with that then there's no sense in selling him but he's getting to his final years in his career now and I'm willing to bet he will want minutes on the pitch and a first team spot the way he's playing.

Couldn't we cash in (and yes, the Geordies would have to pay upwards of five) but then dangle a PL carrot in front of Cabaye to come back to Blighty?
He seems disposed to?
I like Charlie and he has definitely shown his worth of late, agreed, but Cabaye would be well worth funding the difference.

If Cabaye's available he'll go to a much better club than us surely?

You're selling us short now B., this is the shiny, new, invigorated, smooth-as-silk transfer machine - formerly known as pizza-gate ltd - that now chase the likes of Shaquiry (sp?), Konoplianka, Soares and, no doubt, others I can't spell.
Cabaye could be our bench fodder the way we're going come August .
And are you saying Palarse are a better club?
Going there apparently.

London club, Pardew got the best out of him, not too far behind us in terms of quality. Also he'd be more likely to get a game. You can see why he's choose them over us.

I reckon he could well be a vital home player in Whelan's position against all but the top sides. You might well be right in all fairness, I think personally I'd say keep him. There was a time where I was happy to see Adam go early on last season but my attitude has changed substantially since then... If we did sell him I wouldn't lose sleep over it, there are more important players in the squad to keep ahold of. But I'd be sad to see him go, really like Charlie as a person and a player. I just think he might be tempted, if he's happy to stay we should keep him.

All that said, I yo think Palarse could be one to watch next year - Cabaye or not.

He has played a major role in our success.
Why would you give him away to one of our major opponents?

Tip for Stoke City fans.... You can't have enough good players at your club, especially those who know where the back of the net is. What about a million good players? Surely that would be enough? Too many even?

I hope he gets a new contract. Would Afellay be his replacement. Afellay attacking mid /left wing player.Right footed.?

His goals are worth more than £5m... 5 mil wouldn't exactly make that much difference in the grand scheme of things. Get him re-signed, can be a game changer on his day

Hope not, he seems happy here and it's a reasonably simple travel to the Brit from Blackpool . Expensive to replace I love that. You don't want him to leave because travelling from Blackpool to Newcastle would be a pain for him. That's true love...aaah. And let's face it...what does £5mill get you...A Dean Whitehead? Charlie's worth more than that. He's a goalscoring midfielder with creative vision who brings a sense of purpose to the team. OK not perfect but has to be worth £8-11mill all day long. Last season was by far his best with us and I hope he stays.

I am in the keep him if a deal can be done camp.
He may want a move with the return of Bojan probably standing between him and a regular start, but he is an asset to the squad and we should be making efforts to keep him if possible.
£5M does not really buy a goal scoring midfielder these days.

To sell Adam would be idiotic. What does he have to do to convince everyone? a lot of the posts on this thread saying that he won't get a sniff when Bojan's fit. Has anyone even thought for a minute that we could play the two of them in the same side? Do we always need to play 2 holding midfielders at home? We should keep Charlie for as long as we can. he is absolute quality and has the golden touch when it comes to scoring goals (generally spectacular ones at that)! As Roylanstoke says £5M won't buy you a goalscoring midfielder these days.
If he is in direct competition with Bojan then we also don't know how good Bojan will return, what if he breaks down again and is out for another 6 months? Sell Adam and we are then left with Ireland in that position and he never seems to complete a game or play 3 on the spin due to niggles, knocks and injuries.
Give Charlie an improved 4 year deal for me.

Agree, and although it pains me to say it, I can see Charlie doing well up there - it does seem like a good fit. He's also the kind of player that suits a particular style of play, which may also be another reason for him to consider his options. Whatever happens he'll always be a special player for me and the Toon will be getting a decent goalscoring midfielder with the odd flash of genius.

If there was a major downside to last season, it was how much we struggled to break down stubborn sides at home; Burnley being the prime example. Swapping Whelan (we didn't really need his defensive duties) for Adam would have helped massively. If we can get a side looking something like this: Butland Soares Shawcross Muniesa Pieters Adam N'Zonzi Moses Bojan Konoplyanka Diouf
Then I still think that looks reasonably solid but with a frigging ace attacking four, plus Adam's long range shots and passes from his preferred deeper position. That's only one of a number of reasons why I wouldn't sell him, especially not for the relative pittance of 5m. I'd lump him in with Shawcross, Walters, Odemwingie in that his worth to us as a footballer is infinitely higher than any transfer fee we're likely to get for him.

I like Charlie but do think his days are numbered as we appear to be heading towards a quick counter attacking side. Just don't see him fulfilling more than an impact sub role with the return of Bojan and the type of new recruits we are seeking.

Palace are way behind us in terms of quality. Take Bolasie out and they will struggle.
Cabaye would walk into our side, as well as being a dirty bugger, he's a class footballer.

Would Charlie want to play second fiddle to Bojan? I think it's probably more to do with the player with this one. Is he happy, at his age, to play a bit part?
If he is, great, the more the merrier.

Net spend will be the test of our investment . Strategy I wouldn't rule out this kind of departure in addition to begovich gives a £15 million war chest and At 20 million a net of 5 would not be a big surprise I see you try and join in a lot, but it doesn't quite happen. Everything you post doesn't quite make sense. I literally have no idea what you're talking about in your above statement. Best of luck anyway.

Bojan will not be anywhere near up to speed until the turn of the year so it would be madness to sell Adam. His goals and passing were crucial to us towards the end of the season.

5M? Snap their hands off. Yeah and just spend the proceeds on another midfielder who can get double figure goals a season. They're ten a penny after all.

Just don't see him fulfilling more than an impact sub role with the return of Bojan and the type of new recruits we are seeking. That is fine when playing at Chelsea or Man City. But what about all those other games at home against weaker opposition? Leiecester and Burnley come and put 10 men behind the ball making counter-attack style totally redundant. Adam offers us a different string to our bow. Something that no other players in our squad can do. Selling him would be completely and utterly stupid. Let alone to one of our rivals. There is some people on this board that refuse to see what Adam offers.
