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.
