Leaving as captain to go to Newcastle to win "trophies".Why would people be?

I'm probably being dense here but what's the issue withLinekarLinnickerGaryLineker?
Some people don't like how he openly cheered on Leicester when they were winning the league. I think it's a bit ridiculous - it's his boyhood, hometown club doing the impossible, of course he's going to support them - but still.I'm probably being dense here but what's the issue withLinekarLinnickerGaryLineker?

We were shit though lol
He won nothing and never finished above us.
He went for more money.
He went in 2004. Newcastle had finished 4th, 3rd and 5th in consecutive seasons and were competing in Europe. We'd finished 9th, 10th and 14th - we were closer to relegation than we were to Newcastle. They were a much, much better team at the time and everybody in their right minds would have agreed they looked by far the more likely to win honours. People like to forget that before ENIC turned the club around we were pants, had been for some time, and weren't a big enough club for talents like Carr. The fact that Newcastle being a bigger club is now a hilarious thought is because we've pushed on tremendously, not because he was wrong at the time.He won nothing and never finished above us.

Levy can fuck right off if he overlooks Grzegorz Rasiak and Ramon VegaHe's the Manager...
Robbie Keane, Rafael van der Vaart, Dimitar Berbatov, Allan Nielsen, David Howells, Stephen Carr, Darren Anderton and goalkeeper Erik Thorstvedt have now been announced with many more stars still to be revealed.
Nielsen revealed on Facebook on Tuesday that Jurgen Klinsmann and Jermaine Jenas would also be taking part.

I've certainly not forgotten how bad we were. But whilst players like Sheringham and Judas left to win things, Carr went to where the biggest pay cheque was.
Sherringham and Judas won a hell of a lot as they both went to teams at the top who consistently won things.
Carr went to a team they may have been around the top of the league but hadn't, and still havent, won a single trophy since the 1950's
I liked Newcastle back then, I see no reason why neutrals wouldn't, they were fun to watch. But going there to "win things" is ridiculous.
By the same logic if we come in for a player from a lower Prem club now we can't expect to get them. They pay their stars more than we can pay our rotation options, and we are no more likely to win things now than Newcastle were then.I've certainly not forgotten how bad we were.

Madrid are playing the next day, no chance they'll be allowed to come over I'd expect. Can't see us featuring anybody who's still involved in the game at a semi-serious level. Same reason I doubt we'll see Lennon/Dawson/Defoe/Huddlestone despite all being pretty popular choices otherwise.
You take that back!By the same logic if we come in for a player from a lower Prem club now we can't expect to get them. They pay their stars more than we can pay our rotation options, and we are no more likely to win things now than Newcastle were then.
A few I haven't yet seen mentioned that i'd love to make an appearance:
Sandro
Palacios
Tainio
Davids (he played for both teams, should definitely be there)
And someone a bit from left field - Fabrice Muamba. I know he never played for Spurs but the night of his cardiac arrest at WHL was one of the most memorable nights at the Lane (for all the wrong reasons obviously) and I think giving him 10 minutes on the pitch would be a fitting inclusion.
