  1. the mag are in league with ashley ?
  2. Quite concerning how everyone else has strengthened. except our near neighbours.
  3. if people really want rid of him and benefit the team, dig deep, buy all the mechandise your credit card will allow so he can break even and get out, which I'm pretty sure is his plan.
  4. same here, but thats a top flight football thing in general. have to say I did enjoy saturday from when remy came on.
  5. I disagree, naturally when defending the forwards have to drop in a bit aswell, it's not like they'll stand on the half way line waiting for us to get the ball back. Hope you're right but i doubt it will work, unfortunately. seems like pardew agrees with you mind..........................surely that must make you think I'm right ?
  6. basically the 4-4-3 many advocate. cisse predominantly through the middle with ben arfa and cisse having the freedom to move round him and drift.
  7. aye, think it's just someone putting a line out there to see how many papers/sites etc take it up without checking anything out.

  9. do we need that......... krul debuchy colo mapou santon sissoko cabaye anita ben arfa cisse remy none of our midfielders excpet tiote seem to have midfield 4 as their natural game, same goes for ben arfa. even jonas would now seem best suited to a middle 3. we even have the attacking full backs for it. movement is the key from those middle 3 (watch anita, constant movement) and ben arfa/remy can pull wide leaqving gaps for the midfield to hopefully exploit. Pards likes 4-4-2 in case no one has noticed. Also, a genuine 4-3-3 with that midfield is asking for trouble unless we've had to throw caution to the wind and go for it. why is that midfield asking for trouble ? seems to have most bases covered, can tackle, recieve the ball confortably, pass it well and cabaye showed whenin a 3 his movement is very good, also allows sissoko to get wide at times aswell and we know what he can do.
  10. first XI and half a bench. Hence good enough, not brilliant. We could in Ashley`s mind fluke a good finish again. aye, no doubt, just in my mind a squad is more than the first XI and bench and we are struggling after the first XV or so. Have to say i'm not to familiar with other clubs squads beyond that level so I'm struggling to compare really.

  12. He's talking s****, you can spend any percentage of your income on wages as far as Europe are concerned. We could make an approximate £32 million loss over the next 3 years and still be OK. The Premiership are looking at capping wages over £52million he's not talking shit, don't think it's an excuse for our window but, well, here goes....... http://www.cartilagefreecaptain.com/2013/4/11/4212852/financial-fair-play-english-premier-league-UEFA-Scudamore
  13. alternatively, the quicker he gets his loan back, the lower the sale price, the quicker he goes. come on do your bit, put your hand in your pocket to help him on his way.

    I actually think they've had a worse window than us.
  15. I'm not even that bothered that we didn't get in a first teamer today (remy was the big one) but a couple of decent, not even big signings for the squad, could've made such a difference. those wanting him to sell, I'm afraid he won't till someone offers him his money back, including loan, which isn't going to happen.

    will he be sacked, walk or hung from a lamp post ?

    quick look on RTG and it;s starting to dawn on some of them.

    Alan Pardew

    no he didnt. there should have been one change, remy for shola. You reckon? I thought we played our best stuff after the changes. Remy added that last bit of spark we needed. you're kind of right, kind of wrong. we played better after going more attacking (bringing gouffran on). this would've been achieved by bringing remy on. no need to bring cabaye on either .

    Papiss Cissé

    in germany he was the point playing off defenders shoulders but like all forwards they can't do it if they get no support even just to drag a defender away.

    Hatem Ben Arfa

    second half he just stayed up front, tracked his full back back once when he ventured forward and he (ben adrfa) looked dangerous........................ get this, best as part of a forward 3 rather than wide in a 4.
