Really? But he's the best thing since Maradona. Clubs will be queuing up for him. He's only 27 after all.

Well he's a free agent now, sure we'll see him tearing up the champions league soon enough.

It's never your fault, it's never your fault, oh Alan Pardew Hatem Ben Arfa, it's never your fault.

Nah, he's gonna show you, Ste. He's gonna get a deal at a top euro club and eclipse Ronaldo and Messi. He'll leave us and we'll look and wonder why we ever let him go. Or he might go to Turkey with Shola.

Honestly, it's not like he was tearing up trees before he got injured. How many times do you need to make excuses before you realise?

Aye. Neebodys ever had an injury before him and gone on to have a good career.

He's got talent out the arse. Off the top off my head he's more talented than Gerrard Fletcher Eriksen Schneiderlin Henderson Sigurdsson Sterling Walcott But every single one of those players is thriving or has thrived at a top club because they had the right attitude and commitment. Talent alone does not make a good player. Messi wouldn't be half the player he is if he didn't have the right mental attitude to succeed. The mental aspect is just as important as the physical and technical skills. If you don't have it you can have all the talent in the world but you'll never be a top player.

Have a look at the managers who he's worked with. They're not all Bruce and Pardew calibre.

Dismal record. 2 wins at this stage of the season is just awful. No strikers. It's a problem we've had since Bent left. Didn't you pay about £20m for Fletcher and Altidore?

Attacking midfielder / striker on the wing and winger as striker / attacking midfielder is genius. Pure genius. http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110108084949/blackadder/images/8/8c/Baldrick_thumbnail.jpg

Quite fucking apt that he's got a picture of Gouffran on the wall. wat

Would be happy to see him go. He's become a liability now and we play better when he's not in the side. Doesn't help that he's one of numbnut's purples so plays every game he's fit for no matter what.

Fucking Cabaye getting the blame again The pies have gone up 50p because Cabaye.

Sammy's looked gash but tbf to him he's been decent on the left wing the last few games and has now suddenly been asked to play as a no.10 which isn't his game. We could restore some semblance of sanity if we took off Gouffran for Cabella, moved Sammy out left again and had either Cabella or Perez in the centre. Won't happen like. We'll get Vuckic on for Dummett or something.

Are we really playing Sammy Ameobi in the no.10 role ahead of Remy Cabella?

Perez into the right wing hole of doom. Where strikers go to die.

Still fucking hate our kit

Chinese TV decide to lead into the game with highlights of the monsoon derby where Gullit left Shearer and Ferguson out

The fitness thing simply clouds the real issue which is that he appears to have made himself persona non grata at yet another club. This time after only a few months. Something's not right with him, that much is becoming clear. That's not to say Pardew handled him well, he didn't, but there must be something more than just Pardew in this that's making him continually fall out with managers and have to move clubs.

Carroll's looked sharp today

Altidore hauled off. Sorry HAULED off.
