Newcastle Transfers: 8 Reasons Rolando Aarons MUST Stay

4. Newcastle Will Be Able To Get A Lot More For Him Later

From a purely financial point of view - it always comes down to this now - Newcastle would be insane to let Aarons leave before they can make the kind of money that they must surely want from all of their youth players. We're talking Andy Carroll money here. Clearly, Mike Ashley and Luke Charnley aren't going to idly allow mega-bucks sides like Man City and Liverpool pick off their best prospect for pennies, but the longer Aarons stays at the club, the more pure profit he could create. He's only played 200 minutes, and he's already attracted last year's top two finishers in the Premier League - what happens when he's played 20 games. Or scored 20 goals. Newcastle should strike immediately to make Aarons a far higher earner than he already is, and assure him that he will see his desire to play first-team football in the Premier League realised every week (provided he's fit). Because, he's not all about money, if his ambitious tweets are anything to go by. This really needs to be a statement of intent by Newcastle - yes, every player has their price, but what sense is there in making £10m profit out of a player who cost nothing when you could make £25m?
