I think the first isn't totally true, the manager doesn't have final say but he does have some say. I would expect if Pardew said look for a forward then that would happen. That doesnt mean we'd get one because we all know anybody coming in must be seen as a bargain. I also don't totally agree with point 3, the fraud does that to try and mask his deficiencies, he's shit so he kisses his bosses arse.
