Krul, Coloccini, Santon, Cabaye, Tiote, Ben Arfa, Jonas and Ba are the foundations of a top 6 (at least) team. This is a massive transfer window for us. If they use a bit of common sense, rather than be blinded by money, great things could happen.
The guy gets better by the day. We already loved him on the field, but if we have another Sammy-style twitter account he'll be off into the stratosphere!
Despite Pardew's starting 11, despite Pardew's tactics, despite Shola Ameobi and despite a lazy, couldn't give a damn 'performance'......we won.
Santon and Best were very good though.
The whole incident was strange - throwing a tantrum, being stretchered off, gesturing just before the tunnel. We can't cope without him though (except vs QPR....they're shit)
Hatem will get sick of this eventually and go. I'm sick of it. Pardew is fucking this all up. The most gifted player we've had in a while and Pardew treats him like shit and plays people like Obertan or Raylor ahead of him. Week after week I think Pardew can't be moronic enough to bench him this time and every week he does. It's pathetic really.
"Well first of all I don't like talking about other teams' players, but I do like that Remy bloke. Obviously I won't disrespect his club, but in theory I'd be interested because he's a very good player. And I'm making a bid. But I don't want to talk about other teams' players."
