"Give me the money peasants!"
The news from Newcastle is that Ashley will not sell full-back Mathieu Debuchy on the cheap amid claims he is close to a move to Arsenal.
A report in France of Monday suggested the 28-year-old France defender, who is currently on World Cup duty in Brazil, will be heading for the Emirates Stadium this summer having also been linked with Paris St Germain and Monaco.
Debuchy, a £5.5million signing from Lille in January 2013, wants to move on this summer.
Indeed, reports from St James' Park today have suggested they have placed a £12million price tag on a man who has four years remaining on his contract.
