He can sign a pre-contract agreement with a non-French club from January on while OM can only do so 12 weeks from the end of the contract. We'll just have to step in earlier if that's the case. Doubt his entourage are the type to honour any agreement with OM anyway. Yeah but this bit sounds like OM has maybe made an unofficial approach which they aren't happy about:

Same old

Shut up! SHUT UP! Pardew told them to run all over them. What else do you clueless cretins expect from him?

I see big things for this thread

But, you just have? Well tell me why the quality of our players was dragged into this discussion if I made it up? Fuck knows. Someone brought it up, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't ol' Alan. So, yeah, you made it up. Sorry, meant Pardew's defense by people here who actually think he can do his job. What? I'm sure you can work it out yourself.

So Pardew's next line of defense is that our players actually aren't that good Couldnt make it up.

Ah right, sorry, I didn't realise some threads were above debate. Anyway, I will be staying out of it, just find it thoroughly stupid. Let people have their fun, you've done this one to death in other threads, you aren't going to get anywhere apart from dragging the thread down and spoiling it for others. That isn't the intention is it? I hope not. Course it's not the intention, the intention is to have a discussion. Strange that the reasons for positivity thread was absolutely destroyed in a matter of hours, when anyone with an opposing view is meant to stay out of this one. How can you have an opposite view of a quote? Sorry? We're collecting Pardew's quotes in this thread. What are you opposing here?

you're not allowed man, it's just negativity, nothing is relevant until it's too late for some people...happened last year: person a) we could get relegated for the following reasons person b) don't be stupid, that's never going to happen for no reason whatsoever repeat right up until game 36 of the season when the penny drops same people can't see we need to change, we need to score goals and create f***ing chances against garbage like rangers....so f*** if they were up for it, like man city and west ham won't be up for it? It's crazy ,I can't see how people are calling anything an over reaction when it's been a whole season and the pre season where the same stuff is occurring repeatedly. When it's over a sustained period of time it's more just a realistic assessment of how bad we are IMO It hasn't, though. As others have said, we've had a couple of very decent performances in pre-season, and it's emerging that last night may not actually have been that bad. It has, though. From what I've seen and read we've had some good periods inside the games but we havent consistently followed a plan. The weaker periods would be much easier to accept if you could still see what the plan is even if its not working 100% of the time, which it of course almost never does. I just find it really hard to see what brand of football Pardew wants us to play. Impossible to say if it's because no such plan exists or because he's not cabable of drilling the players to effectively execute that plan.

So we're really expected to believe that the way we try to play football suddenly changes when the league starts I fear for you when reality hits out of the blue...

Does anyone else get the feeling that the only problem Pardew recognised from last season was the lack of strikers? Now he seems to think everything will go smoothly once we sign a couple players upfront. I'd love to see a manager who had a vision of how the game should be played and would instruct the players based on that. Do we try to keep the ball on the floor and stay in posession? Do we try to counterattack with pace? Do we concentrate on punting it long to our strikers? It's just a mess of everything without any playing identity. They don't seem to have a clear idea what they should do when they get the ball or where they should move when they dont have the ball. Just relying on the individual brilliance of a couple players who are cabable of creating something. Depressing.

Ok mate ""

I'd genuinely prefer Obertan to play wide right instead of Sissoko. Criminal waste of Moussa's talent. Worst thing about all this is it's all because he's trying to push Ben Arfa into a No.10 role where he's never looked comfortable. Ben Arfa on form is one of the best right wingers in the league FFS! It makes it even more baffling that Sissoko was playing in the middle when he was signed and it was working pretty well. And Hatem has always worked on the right. There's plenty of things he could change that arent working, instead he changes the one thing that does.

Doesn't actually sound as if he was on the wing, like, according to someone who was there. It's a preseason game against a group of players who were probably treating it like a cup final. Most important thing is that we don't appear to have got any injuries. Not really. If we had a clear playing indentity and everyone knew what they were doing we'd be dominating games like this with ease even without putting 100% effort. We just don't have that and it's very worrying two weeks before season starts. Can't put this crap down to bedding new players in either... It should be about more than getting fit and not getting injured at this point. Same old same old...

Pardew noticed he's useless in the middle so there obviously wasn't any other options than take him off

Can already see Pardew explaining him how much better we have it without the burden of European football. "We get to play LESS GAMES!! How great is that Bafe?"

Ahh shit, always forget that. Added a watermark now. Can bimby or a mod edit that quote cheers
