Alan Pardew has today spoken out and wishes Nolan the best. Nolan's move to West Ham has been a shocker and reportedly worth 4m. Pardew revealed the contract length was the key factor determining his departure.
“I am aware that the club made Kevin a good offer to stay but could not agree over the length of the contract offered,” Pardew said.
“I am aware that the club made Kevin a good offer to stay but could not agree over the length of the contract offered,” Pardew said.
“This obviously happens in football and everybody needs to move on. I would like to thank Kevin for his sterling efforts as a player and captain of this club, especially since I took over last season.
“He displayed admirable leadership qualities, and I wish him every success at West Ham. It’s a great club, and I’m sure he will thrive there.”
It's a move that has come as a surprise, one of the highest goal scoring midfielders in the Premier League in the past season has chosen to move to the Championship.
Pardew, however, has asked for the fans to keep calm and expect a good window ahead.
“We are looking to complete on a number of deals over the next month or so, and I am sure with the quality of signings I anticipate coming into the club, we should look forward to exciting times in the upcoming season as we look to establish the club as a genuine force in the top half of the Premier League.”
Rumours on the tyne today features names such as Matuidi, Barnetta, Ba and Taylor who could be set to sign within a week or two.
