Zero

I sincerely hope we have the dignity not to approach him again after he snubbed us for QPR. Seems we don't.

Unless we bring several players in before the end of August, this stupid move could cost our coming season.

Lala, I can tell you, Tiote's positioning is fucking terrible as a DM. The best "DM" we have is Cabaye, sadly speaking.

It didn't happen much when Perch's there. Agree with Tiote and Jonas though.

No fucking hell. We need one more CB since Colo is aging, Saylor is shit and Willo is mega shit.

Why would Carr and Pardew trust/respect/listen to JFK in the first place?

While sacking Pardew sounds like the easiest option available there, I do wonder if there is any manager or coach in the world that could cope with this system. People are assuming that a tactically brilliant manager should be able to utilize the players' signed by Carr. I have doubt over this. Usually it is the manager who have their preference and ask the scout to check them out, while occasionally the scout also provide a list of talents to the manager to consider. The manager has the right to decide whether the potential target suit his own style or team's needs. However what is happening, to me, is this is actually done by Carr himself and Pardew can just play the new comers even if he believes they couldn't perform what Pardew wants. This is a huge problem to me. Yes it is easy to say a tactically brilliant manager can solve it, but the truth is all the manager has his own style and it is more than just "short passing / hoof ball". Some managers' tactics are based on wingers (e.g. SAF), some requires excellent passer in the middle as well as great stamina to press (e.g. Barca style), some requires fucking pacy attackers to carry out counter attack (e.g. Mourinho). They have preferences. You can't fit Sissoko into Barca, Cisse definitely too slow for Mourinho, Cabaye probably would be another Carrick in Man Utd as well. Pardew should be sacked, Carr should stay, but the system has to change. The manager must have to have more say on transfers. We shouldn't only do bargaining deals. Sometimes if there is a player that the manager desperately need to bring in for his tactics, even if he is overpriced, the club should still go for it. An example is Joe Allen, definitely overpriced, and not performing that good in Liverpool, but he is actually a critical input for Rodgers to change the scousers playing style.

Just FYI, I have heard comments re Douglas like error-prone and not agile enough. He is probably not THAT good.

The plan sounds great, if that guy isn't JFK....

JFK is willing to work under Ashley That's all that matters if Pardew walks. Ar ye, JFK our manager again.

Pardew staying is a good news, in the sense that, I don't know who is willing to work under Ashley AND JFK.

I was wondering "why" Ashley did this. I mean, I can't understand what good can JFK brings to Ashley.

I should change my mindset re being a Newcastle fans. What a opera.

Def no for 10m. If it is cut to 5m than it would be a decent deal as don't have wingers.

I would let him go with a fee around 15m-20m. I like Cabaye, to me he is the best player we have and whenever he plays the whole team raise to the other level (even if he is playing shit). But the problem is obviously his attitude has changed after last summer and thus lead to a fucking poor season. And I can't see this being changed in the coming season as well. I won't place all the blame to Pardew because I believe a player should always give his all to the club even things aren't going on well. That is professionalism. That is exactly when a star player should step up and save the team. Cabaye has been a massive disappointment here. Sad to see him go, but I believe we could really get a decent fee, because Ashley won't sell him for cheap.

Yea I know That's why I use Pique as example

VI, imagine Shakira did the same and leak out the dressing room secrets to the public (well i know she won't, just imagine) What's your reaction then?

His girlfriend explains it all to me really.... Exactly.

That sounds contradictory considering he turned Man Utd down to join us. I did think he has too much ego during the last 2 seasons that has done lots of harm to the team though.

Classy attitude - would have been so easy to slate him Casillas is a cunt

I am waiting the reaction from Marca when Suarez bite Pique

Why the fuck people still mentioning Remy?

Oh well, cuntish level inversely related to hypocrisy level imo. Suarez would be a very bad signing. He may contribute a lot on the pitch but he is a very bad fit to the uniform's tradition. I don't think the fans would be pleased by this signing.

I agree, that's why I said ultimately it's the 2 cunts who fucked this up again. Pardew should never be given a 8 years contract and should be sacked by now.
