    I'm guessing because he isn't Remy.
  2. £6m for 30 games, no goals and 2 assists?
  3. Maybe he would be playing for Chelsea but it would have been us with the transfer profit. It was a bad decision.
  4. What a terribly bad decision by Dekka. Sounds like he behaves like a total c0ck as well.
  5. Seriously? We talking about Moses?

    He had the perfect player for that in Bellamy but his ego clouded his judgement. I don't feel sorry for him at all. He fell by his own bad decisions.
  7. I don't mind Hansen tbh. Who else would you have?

    Loïc Remy

    If we signed someone today they would probably not play against Norwich so need to get angry about it yet. Also, the transfer windown closes in what, 22 days? Time enough to sign what we need if there is the will to do it.

    Loïc Remy

    Well, all of that might be happening.
  10. Do they think they're on the brink of getting him then? Hadn't seen it there myself. Is he really any less likely than Remy? err, yes. Forgive my inexcusable ignorance , i'm not well informed on the Spanish league, but why?

  12. If we're looking at out of form forwards wonder why we're not sniffing around Llorente? He's out of contract in June. He's 6' 5 as well so i'm sure Pardew would have a wet patch thinking about all that 'direct play' we could justify.
  13. Thought he was great at Lazio. Was the kind of player that someone like Robbie Savage could completely take out of the game though
  14. Carr got the wrong idea when Pardew said 'get me any gimp who can play at right back'.
  15. Wish we could have found a way for him to stay and for the team to function at it's best. Can't begrudge him a move there though. Greatly appreciate the goals he scored and how he contributed from the LW last season (2nd half of it).
  16. Think i'd agree. Ferguson does seems to have a peach of a cross but that's not the 1st attribute you look for in a defender. Tav seems more of an athlete and a bit more natural in his positioning.
  17. Might be better if he moves on and gives Tav a place as cover and a more than occasional start.
  18. Pretty sure even losing finalists get nowt - places bounce down the league, not the cup. The "Don't let Millwall near European Competition Ever Again" rule. Oh, ignore my post then. Sorry!
  19. Getting into the semis could get us a european place for next season. Something we are unlikely to achieve through the league. Players like Cabaye, Debuchy, Tiote, HBA, Cisse, Santon & whatever good CF we may sign will want to be playing in europe. Also maintains the profile of the club.

    f***ing embarrassing. Lost for words tbh. I am very surprised the media aren't focusing on this really. What are the club going to do if we have a bad January?

    I don't think our players were significantly worse than Everton's, far from it, actually. It's how they are used that's the problem. Everton were at full strength last night, they had no-one out That makes a massive difference I'd say they had 3 or 4 outfield players on the pitch that probably wouldn't get into our team.

    I actually think that's a very good thing. By all means moan on here, but during the game support the team including the manager. I don't think that means that the match day crowd aren't unhappy with him and this season though, certainly not the people who sit around me anyway. It is. What it does show is a willingness to persevere with the current setup, reasonably confident that things will improve. I think most people, with common sense, would agree that sacking the current encumbent is not the answer to our woes. I think that would change fairly sharpish if we slipped into the relegation zone mind. At this point it would be hugely symbolic. I disagree. I think most of the anger would be directed towards Mr Ashley. Yeah there would certainly be a lot of that. I've never lost sight of the fact the summer was a f***ing disgrace, even though I think Pardew should be doing a hell of a lot better. The message it sent out was arguably even more damaging than the physical deficiencies. A lot of people have. I'm not going to try to claim that Pardew's doing even remotely well. However, my stance hasn't changed since before these three less than winnable fixtures. The season is a write off, but I don't believe the majority of the blame lies at Pardew's feet. We will be fine, though. It'll be interesting to see the approach to next summer should we stay up, ie if it's any different. Being tight has its benefits but not when the outcome is a fall from grace like this. Pardew needs to be telling them that this just isn't good enough, whoever the manager is. As johnnypd posted elsewhere, there seems little foresight whatsoever from above. They think they know best all the time despite admitting to knowing f*** all about football. I've no doubt that whatever moves we make this month will be to the detriment of any summer plans. Can you expand on that? We're making reactionary signings this month. Signings that we wouldn't have made if the season was going even slightly better, ie. no threat of relegation. The cost of these signings will, in my opinion, be deducted from any summer spending. OK, see what you mean. I guess we'll be able to judge that better when we've actually signed someone! In the (imo) unlikely event that we sign Remy and Douglas as well as Debuchy i guess it could be argued they would good signings no matter what, players that take us forward regardless.
