GET IN. Potential of our right hand side now is mind-blowing.

¨ Best part of that article is at the bottom: WHO SHOULD NEWCASTLE BUY TO REPLACE DEBUCHY?

CAN WE HAVE THE WHOLE ARTICLE PLZ

My heart. Fucking title change almost killed me.

What did he say then?

With Shola.

Not our biggest problem. Hasn't been the beast he was last season but hasn't been at fault much.

He looks in need of a rest. Had a very good first half of the season but been a libaility in the last few games. Could do with a rest in the cup.

SAVE US

We were horrible tonight. Attacking play was completley gone. Marveaux the only constructive player. Shola is fucking shit but we've known that for 13 years now. Alarming that Cissé was played on the wing again. He can fuck off big time with his selections.

DAT RIGHT HAND SIDE

FFS

I really want us to get him. Hopefully things will kick on next week. Getting Debuchy and Remy would be a great window, regardless of Demba leaving.

Luque for me.

Cant wait to get rid of the player scoring 80% of our goals myself either. Are you suggesting Ba is some sort of Darren Bent, a tap in striker that relies on an entire squad having to be built around him, usurping goals from the entire team? If so Im not having it. Its total bollocks. If anything Ba is rather a poor mans Zlatan, a total striker able to furfill a host of different roles depending on whats required of him. Can hold up the ball, shoot, tap in, hold up defenders and more. I hope for our sake our team will start to perform better and by all means if it was Ba causing us to play s**** and just hoof it to him - happy days. I doubt it though, he has become a scapegoat for those unable to cope with him leaving us without flinging mud. Not scapegoating him at all. He's an excellent striker that would excel in a number of systems. However, our inept manager's lack of understanding with regards to handling Cissé AND Ba has caused us to play to Ba's strengths. This has meant we are relying on his goalscoring to an absolutely mental degree. His importance for our team isn't reflected through the percentage of goals he's scored this season. He's a great player, but those statistics does not reflect his importance. He's revelled in s*** football this season. He'd probably revel in good football too. That, however, seems unlikely as long as his demands stand and Pardew is uncapable of finding a functional formula. As for comparing him to Zlatan, one of the most technically gifted players on the planet who combines that with superb physique and one of the most powerful finishing abilites in the world, I'm not so sure about that.

Cant wait to get rid of the player scoring 80% our team's goals myself either. Better? 80% of our goals mean nothing if we're not playing well. I'd say it's rather a sign of a dysfunctional team to be so reliant on one player.

Preferably. Marveaux central has been integral to our improved attacking play though, might need Perch and Tioté's bite against Fellaini etc here.

Obertan-Cissé-Fergie/Sammy will probably be it then. Or god forbid Shola on the wing.

Cant wait to get rid of the player scoring 80% of our goals myself either.

As opposed to what?

Happy it didn't come to this http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/opinion/columnists/mark-lawrenson/Mark-Lawrenson-column-Liverpool-will-be-a-force-next-season-if-they-can-just-raise-the-Ba-up-front-article882126.html

Simpson will probably have a shitter if Debuchy is signing.

Fully agreed. It'll bring some much needed harmony.

Not too disheartened about him leaving if it means we'll get Remy or someone like him. Big test for Pardew to cope without Ba, he's been a very important figure in his time here and I think he'll feel let down by Ba after sticking with him and giving him so much support. Could well turn out an idiotic move for him tbh. Doubt he'll force Torres out of the side while Benitez is their manager. With Lukaku coming back as well, he might struggle to get games. He'll miss being at our club. He'll love the money though, I hope they mean much to him.

I want him to play again.
