i know you're suggesting that jonas won't play if we sign a winger or whatever but you are aware that he started 34 PL games last year right (zero assists)? when he was terrible, just terrible for the entire season
as far as i know he's been a mainstay throughout pre-season
pardew loves him, i'm not convinced he even recognises the need to replace him and given a left winger will find another spot for him due to his "workrate"...all evidence points to this really, what's making you think pardew would drop him? genuine question
The fact most noises regarding signings the club would make concerns two strikers and one left winger, kinda identifying it as a sore position?
