Terrible news. RIP. I hope the club do something to remember them.

According to Pardew "we can threaten the best" now so anything short of top 4 will be a huge disappointment. What a prick.

1.5 Kilos!!! A quick wank and half an hour in a sauna would sort that out FFS.

What a joke. The one player who can really get the fans going and Pardew has got absolutely no idea how to manage him (or fit him into a system). Not saying HBA is blameless but still, its a shitty situation.

I read that the same way too which essentially means, bar maybe a defender we are done. So that's c.£20M spent (30 - 10 for Debuchy), so we have finally spent the Cabaye money but still massively in profit!!

Least excited about this guy. Why do we have such an aversion to just going out and buying a quality striker or two? Given the brilliance we have had here before, these players are just Meh.

If Carroll is £35m after a good half a season in the top flight, £6m for someone who did similar in France is frig all. Yes but, that's our entire transfer budget for next summer (and this one) gone

Our team was shocking. The product of all this supposed youth investment.

"Week ahead if us and it showed, they are a decent side and we just could not compete. Can't fault the effert ov the new boyz though"

Got absolutely nothing to base this on given the facts, but have a feeling we might spend big (by our standards) on a striker this summer. If Ashley/Pardew want to curb the unrest on the terraces, they need to! Not that it will make any difference to Pardew and his management credentials.

Maybe the fact we increased the capacity from 36k to 52k 14 years ago had a bearing on the waiting list? Pretty sure there was a waiting list after the extension to ground was done.

It is Erm Carrol FREE sold for 35 Million, Cabaye 5 M sold for 18 Million, Debuchy 5M sold for (maybe) 12 Million. Not a good argument, stick to Pardew being a lying c**t. Much safer ground. a Erm Carrol FREE sold for 35 Million, Cabaye 5 M sold for 18 Million, Debuchy 5M sold for (maybe) 12 Million. Not a good argument, stick to Pardew being a lying c**t. Much safer ground. It is an argument as on the whole this is correct. He can take no real credit for AC, the other two are at a level that even Pardew cannot destroy quickly although he has tried his best with MD. They were so cheap initially relative to actual value we were always going to make a profit and there is no way Pardew gets any recognition for that. As it goes, the profit we made was really taking the piss as we could have pushed for more.

Far too good for pardew. Likes to attack so a big no no for pardew.

Unbelievable. Slap 20m on him or tell them to fuck off.

These 5/6 year deals are stupid. End

In a number of years we have gone from having a very stable season ticket contingent with a massive waiting list to this, general sale and still the risk there will be 1000's unsold. Just another feather in Ashley's cap this. Idiots.

He is having a fucking laugh, very surprised if we sign anyone that went to the world cup.

Maddest thing some of what he says is right, shame he can't see playing our players of position does not work.

Trying not to price himself out of a free transfer

Just pay the 20M for Bony.

Our squad is piss poor already and we are off loading before we buy? Brilliant

At least get a replacement first.... Oh wait......

Getting Remy is pretty far-fetched as well. Getting anyone decent or pretty far fetched!

Pardew admits "its going to be a tough summer". Really. A semblance of honesty for a change.

So 4 being offered, Shola, LDJ, Remi and Cabs gone = 8 new players. We all know how this is going to end.
