Nothing concrete in that at all - maybe. Could argue that Pardew may have been impressed with the back-up players enough not to panic buy for the midfield? Meh, I just don't want the Tottenham throw-outs. Maybe, Keane on loan.

Repetition of what we already know. Spurs trying to flog their deadwood and we need bodies. Although I doubt we're as desperate as we were a week ago.

Wont miss his creaky old frame. Has turned on the club quicker than.... etc.

Will reserve judgement on the Seges' report until something concrete happens. Hoping for another B'Arfa roller coaster and similar outcome.

I see what you have done. Bastard

Main issue is closing down players, which he's struggling to do. You'd assume a decent coaching unit would be aware of this and working towards improving. Otherwise, class.

He's definitely better than Paul Ferrara and Gary Neville.

... and we have already dismissed them.

Add Ben Arfa and Simpson, who I think will become a very good right back. We're getting close to having a first team that will compete at the top level and will challenge to qualify for Europe in a year or two. Have to agree with Simpson. Although this has a lot to do with the lack of alternatives, I really can see him in an England shirt before long, if only for a friendly Don't like to go off topic in Tiote's thread but this is the most disgusting post I have read in a long time. Simpson should be nowhere near a Premier League side let alone getting in any England squad, no matter how few alternatives there are . He's on the brink of being solid. You're way over the top with your post. Just needs to improve his closing down and we are there.

High expectations

Add his attempted hand ball in the area too. May have tried to fall 3 or 4 times. So shit.

Reckon there is some truth in that. Just that Ameobi's good/excellent touches are so ridiculously sporadic and separated by 10/20 clumsy stumbles, which you may interpret as dribbling. Carroll's touch is just average. Does fuck up now and then in rather Sunday league like ways, mind.

You just knew Jonas was doing nothing with that chance.

Gomez was an embarrassment. Think Webb pitied just how pathetic he is, both ability and cheating, and decided to turn a blind eye. Best if he's sent back to Spain. Him and Xisco on the same boat.

... Sessegnon? His first name is Stephane.

Pretty poor for what I'd expect

In a dream, he'd start over those two. How long until he wants to move to his how town club AC Milan again? Carroll is also considerably better.

He's actually really really rubbish. go on.... Real team player, definitely not in it for the money. That's my main gripe. Plus he's technically weak in many respects.

Like I said, a bit thick.

To me, it seemed that Barton was a little riled after he'd received few niggley tackles and was seeking a bit of revenge. Got the wrong player though.

He was rubbish today but he's no winger. Didn't catch the Villa game today.

Will be keeping an eye on this thread for Dixon quotes. Don't let me down.

True, but it doesn't show in his play.

Agbonlahor seems a bit thick.
