    I was vilified for predicting pre-season the departure of Afobe in January.

    Does anyone still disagree with me that he will go in January?

    Vilified ? I think it is much more likely he will go in the summer but if someone offers 12-14m who knows.

    To be fair Vinni most of the peeps that said that aren’t here anymore. I know I for one agreed with you, to be honest I’m still amazed we kept him when we did.

    That said I have to say still not sure how good he would be in the Prem, personally I’ve been disappointed with him this season, for me Dicko has been a bigger miss than Afobe would have been. Then Dicko isn’t English and that plays such a role in prices these days.

    dick, wasnt suggesting anyone currently here did but the general thrust at the time was Afobe was here to stay. I said that if we didnt replace Sako and then Dicko and as a consequence failed to register a promotion bid then he would be off.

    What also concerns me is that no doubt Villa like the look of him. Throw in Remi Garde, a mate of Beniks previous manager Wenger and then you can see another interested party.

    I think the Remi Garde link is a bit tenuous. If he is to go in January he is bound to want a mid table team and right now that’s not Villa or Newcastle for that matter

    watford, why don’t you save your time posting and just put up a post ‘I disagree with vinniw’ on a permanent basis.

    Alternatively why don’t you come up with some independent thought of your own and tell us what you think? Or not, as the case may be.

    Vinniw don’t take this so personally ! You put your posts up to get other views I happen to disagree. But just to recap I think Afobe will go in the summer and I think the rumours about KJ and QPR are rubbish ! I don’t think KJ is going anywhere in the current climate and I don’t put posts up saying he is staying put as they would be pointless wouldn’t they ?

    Afobe will be going in January. We are now linked with another Newcastle kid, Armstrong.
