You're happy to see us spend £1.5m when we're about to receive a portion of the biggest television deal in the history of the game?
What do you suggest they do with the other £65m?
Pay off some of the debt to Ashley, presumably?
Good. As much as he's not fulfilling his potential here, he's still massively important. Some of our performances last season when he was injured prove that.
Basically. It's why signing Remy and anyone else doesn't really excite me too much. The same old tactical inabilities from Pardew will always shine through.
He'll mix things up a bit in the last third and act as a distraction for Bent and or Cisse, we've desperately missed that, especially with Pardew's tactical and attacking ineptitude. Would sign/10
I'd like to think it's the type of thing that Ashley will get advice on, doesn't part with money on players too easily.
If we're trying to do a deal I'd say he's almost definitely going to get off.
