Ronaldo

And he'll always have to chase the game because some of the rubbish alongside and in front of him.

Cabaye does well when he gets further up the pitch. He gets more shots and exposes our worst central player and the defence. That's about it.

A big reason for the midfield being too far from the forwards is the players. Telling Cabaye to play further up the pitch for instance would probably create more problems than it would solve.

Depends if you think we need one or not. I don't want Tiote or Anita in the team and Cabaye's probably going. Leaves Sissoko and Marveaux as viable candidates for the CM positions.

Thing is, in terms of value for money Carr's done a very good job. In terms of players suited to the Premier League and specifically our side, and of adequate quality for a team with top 7 ambitions he's not always delivered. He has a hard task on his hands, though, I think we've signed 2 players for more than £7m since Ashley bought the club. He's probably being told to find average players for less than they're worth.

Bent is more clinical and better in the air. Cisse's superior in every other respect.

It was only a week ago that daft little twerp on here was making out that Ashley had been generous and it was all just Pardew's fault.

Would it be wrong if all of us murdered Mike Ashley?

I've missed Joe.

A winger with no pace or end product doesn't need to be ruined by anyone. Jonas should be kissing Pardew's arse because any decent manage would tell him to piss off to the lower leagues.

In a midfield three Jonas can work centrally, but he's no DM though. Rubbish, man. He's a fucking dreadful midfielder.

Fair play to Moke. He'll need to be replaced but frankly it should've happened the second we got promoted along with Jonas and Smith.

Yup and he barely featured. Eh? Robert got 12 in his best season by the way, not 10.

Give me a break I'm on my phone in 29 degree weather boozed up to ma bollocks.

£23m would easily get us a very good wide player and a CM more adept at driving a side forward in the PL. Sadly it seldom works like that wi these cunts in charge.

I think Cisse's more entertaining personally. Hatem's great in his own right but dribbling past two players and losing it against the third just makes me feel frustrated.

I'm looking forward to it, just not where NUFC is concerned.

The first one is fucking abject.

Have to agree with you there, bored with the lot of it and couldn't give a shite. Yeah, Cisse's my favourite and frankly the thought of him leaving doesn't bother me massively. Guess this is what it feels like to support a club that has to take two steps back either side of a step forward in the name of being sensible.

Aye, right. 22 and is a regular starter for one of the top clubs in the country who he's played well for all season. No chance he'll ever be much good.

Henderson's a good player. Could easily turn out to be worth £15m fwiw.

Darren Bent above the budget of one of the richest clubs in world football.

He's a different colour. Surely they were just taking the piss too?

As if teams haven't won the WC with far worse players than Trevor Sinclair and Danny Mills.

When the alternatives are Tiote and Anita there really isn't an alternative, as tidy as the latter generally is.
