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

Because our club do not communicate it leads to all sorts of speculation. Would save them a load of hassle if they just told the truth

The quality is there in parts, the balance is nowhere near. You can have 11 world class players but if there is no balance it's shit. We have no balance on wings at all. Critical area for me. Ben Arfa likes to drift inside, Jonas is just Shit, Marv is not a winger.

Van Wolfscock, Hooper and Bony probably would have

? - what Barton calls him

Why the fuck would we loan him

Or Vuckic?

Never realised Kelvin Henry had gone to QPR, very awkward if Barton stays

Hhmm, I think he looks very average when he plays that position for us. Sits far too deep and does not dictate play at all. He looked much better for us when he was pushed further up and was roaming behind Ba, Cisse and Ben Arfa a couple of season's ago. I hate seeing him so deep for us as he brings absolutely nothing from that position. Agreed he was great there but I don't think such a slow, with a lack of skill or quick feet can sustain in that position unless we play counter-attacking football. I don't think he should be the furthest CM back but fairly deep yes. I like the balance of DM-Passer-B2B/AM midfield. The less running Cabaye is forced to do the better, so I think a fairly deep role should suit him with the ability to get forward a few times. Too deep and he does too much running. I think playing him Attacking Mid as more a linkup man would suit him, not so much the bursting on and taking on players but his passing is good enough to create in them areas. Maybe with Tiote and Sissokho in the centre mid roles. Also Cabaye would be in position to have long shots etc. When he is deep he is just ineffective as there are no passes to play and ends up side to side rather than diagonal through for runners.

Seriously man, can't we just get rid of him, he was always only League One standard yet has managed to play top flight all his career (Except the blip season). I just don't get it,how can every manager except for Keegan want to keep him. He offers nothing and is worse than Carlton Cole.

draw your conclusion from the article http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/12691/8837962/transfer-news-alan-pardew-hoping-to-keep-yohan-cabaye-at-newcastle no need to speak about him at all and no bids from anyone or approaches from any club just splutterings from reporters with nowt else to write about i.e Manure link He clearly wants an offer for him doesn't he - mental.

Over a year ago really now. Although we were quite good in January, we f***ed up massively last summer and seem to be making same mistakes this summer. The summer when we got Cabaye and Ba was best for a long time. I would settle for selling a player or 2 if we can just get a winger and striker over the line, convinced if we can get a couple of dynamic players up there that it would transform us. Maybe we have to lose Cisse and Cabaye and use that money to bring in 4 players Winger, Striker, Striker, Centre Mid - more dynamic than Cabaye Don't think we would have the time to do that now, sounds stupid i know when we are in July but this club works so damn slow and that summer when we signed Cabaye and Ba a lot of it happened at the beginning. Agree we are running out of time fast. Logical solution would have been to dump Cabaye and Cisse for good fees (Prob 30 mil for the pair) and shake things up a little, bring in a couple of british players if we could or more direct attacking players. The club needed a good shake up following last season something that cunt down the road seems to be trying to do for them lot, may not work out for them but fair play. We just seem to be happy to retain all of the players that underachieved last season and aren't english. Need to be ruthless
