Havent worked out where the hell we should play him. Granted he looks rusty as fuck, so I am willing to give him a decent amount of time. He doesnt seem like an out and out lone striker and we surely have better choices for either flank when Marveux and Ben Arfa are up to speed.

This. Where the f*** has this Dempsey link come from anyway? 2 and 2 together after Klinsman implied that he was looking to leave Fulham.

Like Yorkies post. Got time for Lovenkrands, just nowhere near the first team.

Roux, Pieters, Santon and Dempsey.. easy as chips.

This, impressive tonight, although clearly needs games to adapt to the league. Really quick feet and some great spreading of the ball. Canny signing.

Nice effort today, should get plenty more chances this season.

It was pretty appalling like, but at the same time, he needs games. Give him a chance. This. Bad day at the office but got in some good areas. Looks too eager to impress, needs to chill out and use his head a bit more.

All three. They are coming..

Between a rock and a hard place ever since we listed him. Taking him off and the board lose face. It is clear pardew wants to keep him but we have no choice but to accept offers under the position joeys has placed himself (with help from the goons upstairs).

Fuck me. If we sign Calton fucking Cole....

Olympic call up on the cards?

Lock.

Only at this club can we win a derby and talk about capitalising on the positive vibes flowing by bringing in a couple of players only to turn around and sell one of our best. Why would he? He already knows a big club won't come in. He is perfectly happy here by his own admission, ball is in his court. Why leave for a club like QPR now when he can pick up a bigger signing on fee next summer. He isn't be frozen out here, infact It's clear he is a starter for pardew. Another season playing like last years and a bigger club than QPR will be in for him. which bigger club would that be? Bigger than QPR? Can see anyone outside the top 4 taking him for nothing if he has another season as good as the last. Big ask for him to do that and stay trouble free though.

If Barton leaves we better get Barnetta in.

Think he will turn it down tbh.

Bruce out Hughes/O'Neil in within a month.

Would cost over 8m IMO, probably more like 10.

Think it's pretty safe to say the striker signing will be completely underwhelming if/when it comes. Not to say it won't be someone that could do a decent job for us. Don't think it will be our main target man/big number 9. More likely another striker for rotation albeit (hopefully) better than what we have. I think we will get a decent left back though and one of pieters or cissokho. Either way I think that is unnaceptable given the fact we knew almost back to February about the need for a LB and striker. It is clear we have tried but I don't think that's good enough. Nine days to change things.

Clearly lacking confidence. Has the skills by the looks of things, think some playing time and a bunch of crowd/coach support would do him a world of good. Still worried by his lack of interest after losing the ball. Coaching staff need to be on him to sort that out. With his pace and fitness he should be harassing players and chasing after everything.

Half past ten.....?

There is a reason there was talk about him getting called up last year, you hit it on the head. The competition for the English RB spot is weak as piss. He has every chance if he hits another purple patch.

Guarenteed shit performance and loss. Looking forward to it though. Hoping to see Abeid, Ubertan, Vukic, Marveaux, Ferguson, Ba and Besty and Gosling for a good proportion of 90mins. Wouldnt rule out a Sammyobi appearance either.

Plus there is nothing to him. Needs to get some meat on those bones if he is going to boss the midfield. Heard his chicken dance is embarassing too.

Needs to bring back the mask, modified to black and white and wear it just for when we beat the mackems.
