Geordie Ahmed

So Shola up front with Cisse on the wings eh

Okay, time to move on Plenty more fish in the sea :'( :'(

I can see why he would go there Loads more money and no doubt he will have a relegation clause inserted. So in 6 months he could have his pick of clubs again

I wouldn't worry about it. Probably won't end up getting spent at all before mysteriously disappearing before the next window. Aye, kinda like the £12mill De Jong money didn't get spent

Credit for making a couple of signings he should have made 6 months ago? Nah, don't think so

Krul Debuchy Taylor Coloccini Santon Anita Cabaye Marveaux Remy Obertan Cisse

Wow

Actually that is a blatant pen, good decision

What?

With the way we play, spending £10m on a forward player is like pouring perfume on a pig. Really hoping this the start of some changes in Pardew too. I think remy will change our shape and change our way of attack if he joins. I don't think he will be upfront unless Cisse is rule out of a game but will play in forward three with Ben Arfa and Marveux. Something like this: Cisse Ben Arfa Marveux Remy Cabaye Tiote All the 3 players behind Cisse would be interchangeable, Remy would also be able to drop into Cisse's location if and when needed. Where will Jonas play? Thats the whole point, I'd drop him. He doesn't offer any sort of final ball, he's good for running with the ball out of defence but for creativity he is shocking. I agree BUT we all know Pardew won't drop him

How would Sissoko be competing with them? Completely different type of player to them I personally would want Sissoko over M'Vila because he can grab the team and drive it forward (Yaya) and we certainly could do with that

I don't think he said we are close, just that they are warming up (whatever the hell that means in Pardew speak)

When he says or then it's going to be the lower amount, if that

Fail to win next week and I don't know how he can remain in the job

Because Pardew is a coward

A point considering how awful we have been would be good

Simply can't allow him to leave during this window, we would be fucked if he went now If he still wants to go during the summer then fair enough BUT we are in deep shit if we let him leave now

Nass is a very good commentator

Nope, Remy and CB is minimum BUT it is sad we have got to this stage where we are satisfied with what are basically crumbs

So who is the greatest?

It was the captain of Georgia that voted Rooney, Ketsbaia is the coach and he went for Ronaldo, Messi, Iniesta

Bruno Alves went with 1) Ronaldo 2) Falcao 3) RVP

Sensible? Having 3 senior CB's at the club, 1 who is injury prone and 1 is a Championship level defender is sensible? Having 3 senior strikers at the club (now 2), 1 of which is Shola Ameobi, is sensible? It's far from sensible, it's downright stupid and is hurting us now on the pitch. It's not about the expenditure, it's about having a balanced squad with depth. Our squad was short for last season BUT with the additional European games it was obvious more bodies were needed and we didn't get it, that isn't sensible.

Surely if we wanted him to play we could have made it happen, Ba played for Chelsea even though his signing was confirmed after Debuchy
