Fairly sure that will be the case and then where do we go, can't see us getting anyone in now

If we could just go out and spend 20-30 million on quality up front it would pay itself back, instead we just piss about for ages and everyone knew what the outcome would be a month ago, we never finalise deals, albeit maybe we should be stepping back on this one.

Preferably in the current transfer window. Shola's been scoring... You just know we have no other alternatives other than Bent, can't believe we still have nobody signed. It is going to be one long season with Cisse and Shola as only strikers oh and no out and out wingers / wide forwards.

Also we would be best just giving them an extra million if it means we potentially finish a few places higher next season, it would even itself out. Nothing ever seems to really work out for us does it

And on we go, next in line is ? Well at least we tried

That is f***ing worrying, he doesn't seem sure at all, now down to 1 player I think He has no say at all..... i wouldn't get concerned at all he doesn't have a clue what is going on never has. He just seems less sure per week, and starts talking up Cisse and Ben Arfa instead. Gonna be a long hard season if we don't get some attacking players "over the line"

That is fucking worrying, he doesn't seem sure at all, now down to 1 player I think

I knew the time I bet against us we would do ok. Bastards, might bet against us all season

I heard we are " knocking it about nicely" too as someone said earlier it really is like the twilight zone this. http://i.imgur.com/8n0fOqD.gif MY FRAGILE GEORDIE MIND CAN'T TAKE IT?! wtf

Not the most, probably on a par with every other hastily arranged pre-season we do (Last year, year before etc). Never seem to have a plan. Why don't we line up games against bigger teams, I just don't get it

Have bet on blackpool to win, don't feel guilty in pre-season

I'd argue Cabaye and Marveaux are quite creative.... Anyway it wouldn't be such a bad team if Pardew set it up a little differently, like a midfield 3 and Marveaux playing in the hole behind Gouffran and Shola. But like he even considered that as a possibility. Cabaye will sit so deep he is ineffective, Marv is creative but won't have the support around him and is not a winger. There will be no crossing unless Santon and Debuchy get in on it.

Disgusting team with Jonas wide and Shola up front. No creativity, blunder along and blackpool win 2-0

Thanks life about to go mental , Thing is if it was anything else and you were forking out 600 quid, you would want value from it. Just don't get that from us, I don't expect to see us go and win the league tbh, I just want us to look like we are progressing and not be a total let down all the time. Some good football would be good to see even if the best we did was 8th

And without Sissokho on right wing Same personnel but Remy and Ben Arfa either side of the striker. In theory would be great - would just hope the Pardew effect doesn't ruin it all

And without Sissokho on right wing

Had my season ticket for 22 seasons, fairly fed up like probs be the same unless some miracle happens. Got a bairn on the way (In next day or so) and in all honesty don't enjoy the match whatsoever these days, it literally is just something to do on a Saturday. I used to get excited as f*** at thought of match and couldn't wait for kick off, that seems so long away. Part of it may be getting older but a big part is the way this club have gone on over the years, it's just sad to watch Congrats. Cheers, few days overdue like, wish would hurry up . Just makes me consider whether will bother next year as work a lot and match will just interrupt weekends. Would be hard to give up as been going so long but whats the point if you don't enjoy it.

Certainly this season people wouldn't automatically stop going. I know I wouldn't as already bought season ticket so why would I. Season after total different story though because if it hasn't changed by January i'm not renewing

As soon as someone suggests something against common perception they jump on them, bunch of knuckle draggers who can't see the wood for the trees. They think every new player is class and refuse to believe they are not

Panic button has been officially pressed. It's hard not to at this stage, been down this road to many times before with this club. We will haggle so much that we lose out on all 3 supposed targets and end up with what?

The money could transform them into title challengers. May lose Bale but that money could buy 2 to 4 players that would transform them I reckon.

No matter what you think of Bale, he is fantastic like. Powerful, Quick, Tricky and hell of a shot. reckon he would be class in any team, all you have to do is give him the ball, and he comes looking for it - similar to how Rooney was a few years back but a lot more explosive. To think how he started at Spurs when Spurs lost every game he played in, it's been some transformation and droopy face deserves credit for that. Kind of gives me hope for Shola in next 10 years if we get the right manager

Just 2 weeks left until season starts and no players through door, missed full pre season and massive opportunity to right the wrongs of last year. Worrying time really, don't expect to get any through the door before Man City game
