Yeah, they just all happen to be well below their worth. How coincidental !! Btw, i'm still happy about it though! Even if they play or have an impact straight away, their arrival will certainly motivate those who currently in the team to put in some better performances!

Not a chance. I'd let him recapture some form, then we can think about it.

6 months left on contract. WHat would he normall cost at a guess? hundreds of billions Still funny. That is hysterical! Mucky comes across a bit like NE5 there. Wonder if he was an alias...

I think his close control is quite excellent. Really surprising how well he can dribble out of tight spot. He's very tall and will take about of time to get some strength. He obviously needs to learn to read the game, get his head up and make better decisions. It looks like it's happening a bit fast for him at the moment. As said, some loan time would be very good for him. Probs a decent footballing League One team for a season.

Didn't Pardew say earlier that Cabaye had told him at HT it was tight? He was never going to last the game and shouldn't have been expected to. You KNOW you have to bring him off after an hour or so. That's why you leave Marveaux on. Especially if you're only 1-0 up. It's so f**king obvious it's insulting to try to read more into it. Just desperate to see some logic in a bad decision tbh. You probably want to read the rest of the thread there What did i miss?

I thought he drifted out of the game as the ball was going over his head a bit too often. Hardly his fault.

Was it not just that our passing game wasn't as fluent without Cabaye running it? Before the Marveaux sub we started punting it over his head a little too often. To no effect whatsoever.

We started to go more 'direct' after about 60 mins. No idea why as it just gave them the ball. Then the Marveaux sub just said to them that we're not attacking anymore. Was ridiculous. As was leaving Shola on (compounding the mistake of starting him).

Is he really worth getting? Wouldn't be better to give Campbell some appearances?

Is rather contradictory to our MD's explaination of our colouring pens though isn't it? I mean 3 PURPLE CBs at the club. Financial ruin, man! I don't think it's as black and white as all that TBH, it's obvious we need a CB. If Taylor is the purple then he's always injured, and no way Williamson is anything other than brown. The 3 would be Colo, Taylor and New Boy. Willo won't be on much. FWIW, i do think the club will let Colo go if this lad comes in. Just hope they wait until the summer.

I think he's almost interpreting what he's watching in a series of cliches. He hasn't got that sharp perception that seperates the men from the boys. Makes him indecisice too.

Doesn't trust flair players or ball players.

Actually, i think his half time team talk probably changed the game for us. I'm judging that on the way we started to play differently after the break.

This, some clearly stupid people questioning the Cabaye sub(after 2 month out it was always coming) but the Marveaux sub and the 'Do not lose' tactics in the second half at home were shameful. Leaving Jonas on for 90 mins didnt help, nor did some typically s**** defending but come on ffs that was embarrassing to watch! Agree. Cabaye i could understand and predict. But given Cabaye was always going to come off he needed to leave Marveaux to provide some attacking threat.

The starting line up was fine, but those substitutions were just astoundingly bad I knew and said a couple of days ago he's start Shola and Jonas. he just can't help himself. Neither contributed to us going forward. But then, how well a player can attack is not Pardew's chief consideration.

It's difficult because he might be the best manager we could hope for if we're a Championship side next season.

The substitution of Marveaux was utterly stupid.

You know, i bash on Ian a fair bit tbh but we have all been wrong about somethings, all of us. He's a very optimistic guy, and like most jaded people, it just kills me to see others happy!
