He did that Cleverley

Ba was proper desperate to score end of last season aswell, he ignored Cisse as an option on many occasions to try for a goal himself. Chances are if he gets one or two himself they'll click far more as a pair, as all they really need is to be a bit selfless with eachother. The movement/ability is there for it to work well.

Oh yeah, its only a matter of time till Pardew is doubted a lot again on here. The 4-4-2 scenario is already well set up to be useable if not everything clicks, the 4-3-3 has set very high expectations & pards will get flack if we dont match it regardless.

We're class

Lovely from Cabaye

played jonas

Raylors weak point there, Colo having to go across and cover

Oh marveaux, you are classy

WAHEY

Lucky deflection off nice play

ffs

nice effort Colo

You do wonder about the level of effort theyre putting in to find a replacement if their manager still hopes Debuchys at the club next season

Given the amount of value Ashleys placed on scouting & developing that side of us previously specifically because he doesnt want to waste money on overvalued players. You dont think he'd have done anything beyond personally deciding Carrolls mint & hes fine with spending 15mill? Id imagine both Carr & Pards would be questioned about the value of the transfer personally.

How is this "opportunistic" claim discrediting the idea of the transfer? Its normal to weigh up your chance of getting a player with your assessment of his ability. They dont forget all their other targets and their comparable ability/value simply because Carroll might want to join again. If they think better players who are cheaper would also be willing to join us theyd prioritize those instead. The whole "Oh we're just going for him cause hes available" argument makes no sense.

Having a chance at signing a player is pretty important part of having them on any list yeah. There isnt really a position to claim you trust how our scouting works but not this transfer, unless you believe fairlytale stories about Mike buying whoever he wants without consultation which have no basis. You've just made that fairy tale up though. Who have we bought who has had this said about them? I can't see any reason why our scouting network would be involved in this deal either. The point about them is that I would trust them to find a more suitable player than Carroll for the money being discussed. You've just said you reckon mike just spies a deal, are you not alluding that hes the main guy controlling this transfer by doing that? Thats the fairytale im talking about. It came about via Pardews initial interview when people were unsure about his comments & several have suggested it. I assume you also meant you cant see why our scouting team wouldnt be involved. The point im making is if you trust them, then there isnt a "more suitable player" in the first place. They are simply rating Carrolls potential ability differently to you and many others.

Was expecting that. They did the same in their last game, drew on penalties. Dont go past 5 for some reason.
